Man Alleges Attempted Lynching at Lake Monroe

[El Conquistador]

Well this is now national news. "CBS this morning" just highlighted it in its opening segment and will report on it soon.

Honestly, I just went by the guys Facebook rant there. 1 guy or 6 guys doesn't make it OK to just pin a dude into a tree. Again, we don't know the whole story and as you implied, we may never.

Strongly agreed. Self defense by way of escape by any means necessary. I would have done the same in that circumstance.

It makes a huge difference. One person is a fight, six is a mob attack. He basically claims the mob was attacking him and wanted to lynch him, when in reality one guy was tangling with him while the others were trying to talk the guy down.

Since we don't know what happened before the video, we do not know why the fight started in the first place. I won't be condemning anyone in this based upon a slanted story and bits of video.

 

[El Conquistador]

Agreed. If I was in fear of my life from a mob I sure wouldn't stand there in arms reach filming them. As one video shows. I don't think it matters now what the truth is(if it's different from what the one side says) because the jury has reached a verdic.

 

[KLB]

Well, the online mob has reached a verdict anyway.

The drunks definitely put on a show for the mob. They only disappointed by withholding the holy grail "n" word.

I'm going to guess those hillbillies are horrible people when they're sober too.

How do you know they are Scots Irish?

I knew something like this was on the horizon. I just knew it.







PS - the music festival got canceled, so I don't know when I can bring you some more of Canada's finest syrup.

Why does Fox News capitalize "Black"?

 

[Brad69]

Indy,

The facts are the “Hill People” were from the Bloomington, IN area point in the direction of English, Scot or Irish decent. The German areas are mainly localized such as all the “krauts” in Jasper they settled much later after the Indians were gone.

Facts you don’t walk on someone else’s ground without expecting trouble!

Do people in Monroe County qualify as "hill people?" I mean, it is a bit more hilly than, say, Anderson or Crawfordsville. But it ain't exactly Appalachia.

As the passenger moves the scooter, you can see the female “peaceful protestor” climb onto the hood of the car. More false media reporting insisting that the car “hit” the protestors

From my perspective, it's all "hill people".

Which is far better than being crab people.

Protestors?
That can't be true, CNN says that these fine folks were trying to direct traffic.

 

[jkaetz]

So if the group thought this man was about to be killed, why are they just standing there filming it?

They must not of thought his life was in danger to stand and watch. Another fake cry to divide the country.

Videoing people doing bad things is a pretty good deterrent without getting into a physical altercation. Unless someone is a sociopath they know that what they are doing is wrong but they think they can get away with it. Unless the goal is to be videoed doing something wrong most people will be more civil when their actions can't be obscured behind human memories of an event.

The scary thing is that the even after the car drove off the protesters think that they were in the right. LEO don't even try to use their bodies to block a car, it's just not a wise thing to do. How many people have to climb on your car/impede your progress before you can use deadly force in Indiana? Not that anyone would want to over something like that.

Last I heard, they still haven't found the red car that the rioters jumped onto.

I dunno. I went to a state championship shoot in McKee, Kentucky. After the awards ceremony, two of the sponsors (father and grown son) started wrasslin' for the hell of it. I mean serious wrasslin'. Like you don't tap out. You bleed out.

We just kept out of the way and I was estimating how fast I could get strapped if necessary.

Them is hill people.

Social media is all sure this is about Trump supporting racists...

The most interesting thing I saw in that video is that moron the hood of the car sure looked like they had a white leg.

So... No longer a racist act no matter how they paint it.

At least they used the word "alleged". That's more than they usually do so even Fox must consider this story iffy.

"Hill people" are anyone who doesn't live in or near your urban paradise.

I had a woman from Indy buy ten acres adjacent to mine for a weekend place and start talking to me like I was some ignorant hick. I've traveled the world, have a degree, written books and training manuals, and teach in the college setting. I played it up and after a few weeks starting letting things slip. One day she got a funny look on her face and for the first time asked a bit about my background. Watching her stammer her way through the next half an hour was thoroughly enjoyable.

Now, I grew up with hicks and rednecks and general white (and some black) trash. Trash is trash and both the cities and the country have the their fair share of it. I've seen both and have no use for it wherever such vermin are located. Someone may be ignorant or uneducated, but if they seem to care about the people around, and try to do the right thing, then they are a-ok in my book.
