    tit for tat is not a defense. he started it by getting out of the car to confront the man for no good reason.

      he started it

      Eeeeh, no? The other guy was hurling racist remarks at him. He went to confront the guy. That is not starting it, that is following up.

      Once the other guy delivered the first punch, the other guy started both the insults and the fight.

        he was exercising his free speech rights and you think that deserves death?

        following up

        when has that ever solved anything peacefully when the other person is yelling slurs? getting out of the car was the worst possible decision.

          Freedom of speech is not freedom from speech bud, don’t act like an asshole and not expect to be treated like an asshole.

      He got out of the truck because the guy was flipping out at him, and chose to use racist insults to provoke him. A simple proverb that could have helped that racist fuck: don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t cash ✨

      You’re not wrong. I never understand the stupidity of escalating a confrontation when a perfectly valid method of avoiding it like walking or driving away exists. Someone calls you a bad name over and over so you have the choice of a) getting out of your vehicle and opening up all kinds of possibilities for shit to go wrong, or b) leave, and nothing else happens.

      So this place is turning out to be just as bloodthirsty as Reddit, looking for fights instead of walking away and then saying FAFO as justification when someone dies. Life is so cheap for some.
