The folks were Islamic I heard, and Nathan was beating his drum to help stop the tension, he walked into the boys to purposefully help calm them and urge them to not retaliate out of anger. But the issue with this post is that they're trying to make a man who was trying to help diffuse a situation by making it seem he was after some poor little white boy and are using an old criminal record to back themselves up. Which they probably wouldn't bother to do if the kid wasn't a Trump supporter.
Tho tbh a shouting match wouldnāt have broken out if the kids didnāt support Trump either so :/
Iāve heard that theyāre Islamic also, but for some reason in the back of my head Iām remembering distinctly that they werenāt Muslim?? Or maybe itās that they werenāt the Muslim I was expecting (an actualĀ groupĀ of black people isnāt the first thing that comes to mind) and thatās why Iām kicking back at them not falling within that.
Honestly, I do believe a shouting match would have still broken out with or without love to Trump because the group was majority black. Even overlooking the race card,Ā āprotestsā do turn into Us vs Them, so there could have still been a verbal clash or physical confrontation (eg (Neo-)Nazis vs people).
But my brain is also trying to do weird things and make me go off-tangent so Iāll hop off this reply for now. Iāll probably reblog an additional reply later on because I do want to touch on Nathan as well, but my brain isā¦ going weird.
Gimme like. Ten minutes. Iāll edit in a reply and reblog this.
Okay! Brain has piped down.
You are right, of course, about Nathan. That is a sadly common tactic that they use to point out THIS IS WHY HEāS THE BAD GUY and itās justā¦ pathetic. I will admit that the charge of assault does worry me, but I also donāt have all the information. I did have an employee that we had a charge come back on a background check. Something about false identity andā¦ whatever the technical term was for non-cooperation with the police.
Dude was black and didnāt want to hand his ID over to the cops. We were likeĀ āOh for fuckās sakeā and overlooked it because of bullshit charges being bullshit. But later on we realized the people he hung out with (I wonāt say what came back on the background check) and I canāt help but wonder if it went further - I would notĀ be surprised if he did have a fake ID on him because of one of his friendsā background check.
Because of my momās history with assault, and one of my auntās historyā¦ It is incredibly difficult for me to overlook an assault charge, itās hard to not wonder if he still has anger problems and still is violent. ButĀ because of our former employee (the business was only around for 9 months) I do also have the mind of believing it to be bogus charges.
Sometimes I wish that things werenāt so complicatedā¦ But if they were always easy, what would be the point? We would stagnateā¦
