frumnotyeshivish -“My question to you Health: If there was a Jewish kid walking in a black neighborhood, was approached by two intimidating folks in a car saying you don’t belong here or the like, then a few minutes later seeing those two folks approaching him, the kid picks up the nearest thing he finds, then gets beaten. How would you feel about a self-defense argument then?”

Your question basically is -if the tables were turned in this case would I be prejudice for the Jew? So my assumption is – you think the case over here is where a guy picked up a stick to defend himself?

Where did you get this notion from? You decided to make up a scenario to fit your PC agenda? The testimony of the Shomrim guy was the guy picked up the stick when him and his brother were back in the car. Only after seeing the guy walking around with it did they decide to go out and speak to him again. And there is no testimony from the “victim” saying this did not happen.

You just can’t make up what happened here because of prejudice.

The Irony here is that you are attacking one of your own -he is Not a Yeshiva guy -a more modern type. I have Ahavas Yisroel and despite him not being like me – I still stand up for him. Who do you stand up for – if not Frum Jews?
