    Dude clearly has mental issues and needs healthcare not prison, not just for his own wellbeing, but everyone around him.

    But yeah, that video was the funniest shit ever when I didn’t see it coming. I just read the article and wanted to see how crazy he sounded.

    Expectations were exceeded.

    Also though, this is the NYPD we’re talking about, they could very likely have the wrong guy for the assaults.

    He does say he was harassed by the couple that said he was taking down missing persons posters in NYC of people that were missing from Israel… But like, what’s the point of those posters thousands of miles from Israel?

    So who knows what happened there, but I didn’t see any accusations of him even touching them. And he says they instigated him then started filming once they got him wound up.

    Shits crazy, and with the video with a trump flag in the background I doubt he’s a good guy. But a Black trump supporter is rare enough. Is this dude really a Black trump supporter who’s racist against white people?

    I dunno man, everything about this is fascinating.

      Agreed on all points.

      …But like, what’s the point of those posters thousands of miles from Israel?

      Awareness

      Edit: I’m a dumbass; I thought the posters were of Palestinians.

        Oh yeah, because people aren’t aware of Israel’s ongoing genocide…

        A more likely reason was they’re posted to paint Israel as the victims, and the couple who claimed he was tearing them down were involved in putting them up and hoping for something just like this to happen.

        It’s NYC, not sure if you’ve been but you don’t have to wait around or use a lot of bait to get a video of someone acting crazy.

        Like I said tho, the whole thing is fascinating. And hopefully he doesn’t try to defend himself so details are able to come to light during the trial.

        This has the potential to beat the guy that attended court online for a suspended license charge while driving.
