If there wasn't any tension, the old man wouldn't have done what he did

But they spun that event as the white kids being the perpetrators, when in fact they were the quiet ones. Also, the fake news media made sure to mention the skin color of the kids, when it had nothing to do about race.

Quit grasping at straws. He was trying to play victim and crying foul.

And it was all proven that he was instigating the whole thing.

All on video

That's what I just said Gwench

He was trying to play victim because of his preconcieved notions

You are excusing him by saying there was tension there. Bullshit!!!

He instigated it because of racial tension

That doesn't excuse him

Bullshit. No excuses

Why are you giving excuses?

Did I not just say that it wasn't an excuse?

`That doesn't excuse him`

You said there was tension

Oh look, I did!

Tension isn't an excuse, it's an explanation

Big difference

That’s giving excuses

Tension has nothing to do with someone who is deliberately attempting to convey an inaccurate impression.

It is a vehicle to further a personal agenda.

Gwench, you're making assumptions again

Can you let me explain without jumping down my throat?

While I like your need to believe the best in people...there is one thing I’ve learned. If something is illogical or doesn’t make sense...there is always a personal agenda.

Oh, I hate believing the best in people

Allow me to explain my thought process here.

i will agree with gwench on his last post

He instigated it because he thought he could get away with it, yes?

Why did he think he could get away with it?

Simple, because he assumed that everyone would be on his side due to the kids being white.

Now, what enabled him to assume this?

Racial tension

It isn't an excuse

But if there was no racial tension, he wouldn't have thought that people would take his side.

And if he hadn't thought people would take his side, the incident wouldn't have happened.

It's a fairly logical progression

Why does he need people to take his side?

He doesn't

He did it because he thought he could get away with it

That's it

He only needs people on his side so that he can get away with it
