Quoted: Absolutely. I don't care how old the dude is. He got punched 1 time. I'm closer to 67 than I am to 35 by a fair bit. I've seen a fair number of old bastards put up a god damned good fight. I'm not willing to pass judgment with absolutely nothing to go on except a couple of people's ages just because one person got the short end of the stick. It's 4 seconds of blurry video and no statements from any of the witnesses. I'd really like more information before I determine the puncher is a class a shit bag.

This troll is actually putting some effort into it and earning his sheckles. Must be getting paid by the word. The other trolls are just unimaginative one -three word dum-dums. |

View Quote From what I am getting, is that it is okay for me to knock the shit out of a little ole' lady or girl scout (basically the same size as that 67 year old in stature.) if the person thinks the "N" word or the savage perceives any slight to his manhood? So you are saying that using brute physical force to get payback for a verbal miscommunication slight is okey dokey with you? I did not see grandpa pull a shiv or throw gang signs or hurl any insults. Did you? And how do you know what the white guy said or did? None of the witnesses on the record heard anything. They are just making assumptions like you are. My best guess is the black is a racist who hates white people and enjoys beating/murdering weak, defenceless smaller people like a coward. |

Quoted: I've been called three kinds of motherfucker just for being in the area, and didn't overreact to the provocation. I've had bodily fluids thrown on me and didn't overreact to the provocation. Words, other than threats of bodily harm or death coupled with the ability to carry out the threats, are not any justification to go hands on with someone. Some of you act like you've never been shit talked. View Quote I've been a Casper The Friendly Ghost Irish white guy in Segundo barrio in East El Paso at 0300. Anybody that threw bodily fluids on me would have been immediately shot in the face, or beaten into a coma, depending on time and distance and number of assailants. And I've been shit-talked in multiple languages, by some of the worst of society. Good folk better realize we've crossed the Rubicon. One side realizes they're in a war, and the other side is trying to deny it. I'm planning accordingly. Other's should do as they see fit. |

Quoted: You’re not that tarded, are you? A large 35yr old man punching an almost 70yr old man in the head can absolutely be considered deadly force.

Quoted: You say trolling, and in retrospect, I can see an argument for calling it trolling. I call it being god damned tired of everything being so black and white based on no evidence whatsoever. The fact that it's an old guy and a younger guy shouldn't mean a damned thing in GD, a place where people have openly advocated for murdering children under the guise of defending their property from theft or trespassing because "they shouldn't have been there" and all that bullshit. What I saw, and I truly see it this way, is assholes colliding. One asshole lost. I can't pass any further judgment without more than the information provided. View Quote 4 seconds of blurry video and you can tell that the older customer is an asshole? Murdering children for tresspassing? Dude, not sure what you are on but you may want to put the pipe down. |

In the Florida that would be a felony with extra charges due to the fact that the gentleman was a senior citizen. That and he's going to own a Wendy's franchise I guess.

Only a coward sucker punches someone 30+ years their senior....period. Actually you could delete the 30 year part for that matter. You got a pair? Come at someone head on.

Holy fuck balls I can't believe some of the shit comments in reading. Did you guys get your forums mixed up with DU?
My dude wound up like a fucking jack in the box and cold clocked an elderly man that just wanted a damn taste of his Frosty. Knocked his ass unconscious. That's almost a damn death sentence for an elderly person. For no good reason other than the patron complained. |

Quoted: Seen an update on the news today. RIP old man Wendy's employee is charged with 2nd degree murder View Quote There are no spoken words including the "n" word that can justify an attack like this on another person much less killing them.

Surveillance video shows the moment Antoine Kendrick, 35, comes out from behind the register and punches the customer, knocking him unconscious. The elderly man then falls to the ground. Kendrick looks at the victim as he lies on the ground before then walking behind the counter, grabbing a few items and walking away. Police claim the victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/08/12/03/61306195-11103989-The_unsuspecting_customer_was_licking_his_frosty_when_Kendrick_c-a-140_1660270280705.jpg The unsuspecting customer was licking his frosty when Kendrick came from behind the counter and punched him in the head https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/08/12/02/61306179-11103989-image-m-125_1660268775918.jpg View Quote If you are 35 and working the counter at Wendys, you might be a loser.

Quoted: This is what having a culture absent of father's gets you. Men raised by women who have nothing to keep them in check, so emotion rules the day instead of logic, reason, and the ability to take criticism. One slight "disrespect" and violence is their only answer, when you're a 110lb woman that doesn't have deadly consequences. View Quote I've lost good, honorable young men just because they looked at someone wrong. I lost one young man because he liked classical music, he was on his front porch listening and they killed him. Told his mom he was acting too white. That crime was never solved. Dads being absent for 9-12 generations has helped me lose over 200 young men in my 23 years of ministering in the inner city. |

@Homesteader375
I get where you are coming from. In today's media and culture, we see a 5 second clip and are supposed to form an opinion based on just that without all the facts surrounding the event. I get it. I feel the same way. In this case, we have a prior criminal "According to reports, Kendrick has a long criminal record and was arrested on multiple other occasions in Tennessee. He was first arrested in 2013 on charges of aggravated assault. In 2016, he was again taken in custody and was charged with aggravated criminal trespass, aggravated assault, and evading arrest. Later in 2019, he was charged with harassment and again with aggravated assault. " So, his past history of attacking people has been established. He came from around the counter to attack this customer. Sucker punched him. Didn't give him any warning. The victim appeared to have no pre-knowledge of an impending attack, such as a vocal argument that had already occurred with the situation having been escalated to physical violence. He was taking a slip from his cup. Mr. Kendrick then was reported to have gathered his belongings and ran from the scene. Clearly his actions would not be justified in his own opinion, hence the fleeing from the scene, as he had been known to do back in TN. Now, the video posted clearly had time that had been edited out as, Mr. Kendrick can be seen at the register and then not there and then coming from around the counter to attack. He is a coward and now will be in prison where he belonged in the first place. Wendy's is gonna pay dearly. |

Quoted: People don't just fly off the handle for no reason right? WRONG View Quote Apparently he has never seen a knock out game video. That guy should be banned for insinuating it is “ok” to clock an elderly man. There is zero reason for that. You could run circles around him all day long. Every thread brings out 1 disgusting member tailored to the topic. |

View Quote Everyone knows. No one is allowed to actually say it. |

Hope he enjoys his stay in prison, surely no one will say anything mean to him there
