Man assaulted for refusing to denounce white people amid leftist rally

Listen brother, I want to thank you for being so diplomatic in your response. I can understand your frustration, I really can. However, we truly don't know what happened prior to the tape rolling, and we can be sure that if he had been saying something derogatory people would have been recording earlier to prove that "he deserved it". Listen man, I understand your frustration, I really do. I'm sure you see comments and videos on here all the time that disgust you because they are bigoted and hateful. And I am with you one hundred percent on that. But you have to put yourself in this guys shoes. He definitely does not look like a member of the alt right, and he is being aggressively confronted by a group of people who were going to hurt him, regardless of what he says. Furthermore, why were they asking him that question? Do you really expect that they were thinking "yeah they're all right" as the correct answer, to see if he was "one of them"? This guy was brutally attacked, for not giving the right answer in effect. Btw, you can check my post history to see if I'm legit. I rarely comment on this sub and when I do comment it's in other places as a troll, but I'm being real with you. It really seems like your trying to normalize violence against certain kinds of people because "they probably deserved it" and that's pretty scary. If it were a black guy, would you be saying the same thing? Again, I appreciate your well thought out response.
