All we want to know
I saw this a couple of days ago but couldn’t find the video clip so waited to post it. It’s sickening.
Nice of them not to shoot him though.
Updating to add a fuller clip
and to note that these fuckers did this days after the murder of Ahmaud Arbery in a situation EXACTLY like this.
Couldn’t get the first 2 to play, but maybe he should have driven around trhem, done a wheelie on the grass, then they could have yelled “Get of ah mah lawan”.
Try opening the tweet and playing it there? It works from me but these things can be temperamental. It’s worth watching. The date/time stamp is the link.
I wondered about just driving around but then thought about Ahmaud Arbery and realized why he decided not to do that. Those FUCKERS.
The heartbreaking part for me is when the driver himself calls the police after it’s all over to make sure they aren’t going to chase him down as a fugitive.
Calling Iknklast: Don’t know about OKC, but isn’t detaining someone against their will illegal? Could the driver file a complaint and, if only because of the publicity, have some hope that the police and DA actually act on it?
Oops, Iknklast is in Nebraska. I get them confused.
latsot, I know, for me too. That’s what clarifies why he didn’t just drive around the white car and it’s what magnifies the horror of what those FUCKERS did a million-fold.
Bruce Coppola, not as mixed up as you think. I grew up in Oklahoma, and lived there most of my adult life. And of course detaining someone against their will is illegal, but…”make my day” laws. And black.
I don’t know which gated community it was where this happened but the town I grew up in was a bedroom town for Oklahoma City, rich, and lily white. It wasn’t always rich. It was an ordinary town until desegregation when the rich people moved north so their children wouldn’t have to go to school with the “wrong” sorts. They kept black people out of the town for decades by pricing them out, and making it a difficult place to live. When I was in high school, they bused in a few black students to play football (the REAL god in Oklahoma); the other kids treated them like crap. I went to school where there was literally no diversity. The only diversity in the school was whether you were Southern Baptist or not (I was not) and whether you were rich or not (I was not).
Oklahoma has never treated its black citizens well.
