the 3 on 1 ground and pound was halarious and weak sauce....

major fail on the white kids, black guy was smart enough not to engage, if he did he might have been hit blind sided... by keeping them in site he knows when and where to avoid them from.... and by stalling time i'm sure he was just waiting for some kind of help to arrive, police or bystanders... he wasn't exactly in a excluded area, there seemed to be quite a bit of traffic

this isn't ufc why are you all expecting the white guys to know what to do in this kind of situation , yeah no doubt these guys are fucking nubs at fighting and a 3v1 should of had a different outcome but this wasn't even that long of a fight and most of the time they were just trying to circle the black dude , good job on the black guys part nonetheless

From CBC:

Trio charged with assault in apparent B.C. hate crime

Three men have now been charged with assault in an attack on Vancouver Island that appears to have been racially motivated.

The accused, aged 19 to 25, were arrested after Jay Phillips, 38, was punched and kicked in the parking lot of a Courtenay fast-food restaurant on Friday. The men have been released and are scheduled to appear in court at the end of August.

A video of the attack posted on the YouTube website had registered more than 12,000 hits by Tuesday. It is not known who shot the video and posted it to the website.

RCMP Const. Tammy Douglas said there are indications the attack was racially motivated and the Mounties have asked their hate crime team to look into it.

It is, however, being treated as an isolated incident and will not be labelled a hate crime until all the evidence is in.

"We don't believe these people are white supremacists or have those sorts of affiliations," RCMP Insp. Tom Gray told reporters on Tuesday.

In an interview on Tuesday, Phillips told CBC News the attack was not an isolated incident.

He said that he and other minorities in this town are often yelled at and pushed around - and they're tired of it.

People using a particular racial epithet are "calling me a slave," Phillips said.

"I'm nobody's slave. That's a hate crime to me and I want these guys prosecuted to the maximum."

The men's intent was obvious, Phillips said. Beside the racial epithets, they threatened him and his family with violence.

"Get the hell out of town, we're going to come back and lynch you," Phillips recalled the men screaming. "I remember the word 'lynch' quite a bit - 'we're going to lynch you and your whole family.'"

People in the small Vancouver Island coastal community were shocked.

"Oh my God, I can't believe this happened in Courtenay," one resident told CBC News. "I thought it happened in the States."

Phillips suffered cuts and bruised ribs when the trio got him to the ground.

But his background in mixed martial arts made him more than a match for his attackers.

Phillips said he hoped news of the attack would benefit others in the community.

"I don't want this to happen to anybody - anybody," Phillips said.

"There's a lot of native people here, a lot of Asian people here. Nobody should have to go through this."


Not a hate crime, yet.

When I get posted to comox (CFB Comox), I remember one summer we almost got into a brawl because of the people I went to a local bar with. I'm asian and there were blacks with us and pretty much a diverse group of people that I worked with at the base.

I remember one night we almost got into a fight at the bar because one of the guys with us was a homosexual and it showd in the way he dressed and a bunch of white hicks came up to us and told us to get the f*** out of their club. Seriously, I could of taken those guys on with my hands tied behind my back.

But I thought they didn't like your buddy because he was gay...:confused:

Damn, he had a background in MMA too. If it was 1 on 1 he seriously would've destroyed.

same, that's what I thought too... if the video recorded the whole event.. then it should be a hate crime.. however, if there were something leading up to it that we don't know of.. they'll still need more evidence in this case

The gay thing was what started to get the snowball rolling then racism came next

The reason is the people in courtenay are mostly farmers or very old school traditional: like white > all, no homo,

It's not shocking, racism hasn't gone away, the public just hides it better, especially in the rural areas.

Even when I meet people at work, you work with the long enough there are some racial jokes they throw my way, and you just kinda brush it off.

Harvey Specter 07-08-2009 01:06 AM

Sadly racism will never go away.

as hilarious as it would be, these backwater brokeasses arent worth my gas.

i was in chase, bc for a summer. the majority of the people there are friendly... they arent racist but they are extremely ignorant. valley folk tend to be very welcoming but they arent the brightest bunch... there are some real bad seeds. my asian female friend who lived in sicamous told a lot of stories of extreme racism though. people would sexually and racially harass her in front of her mom and dad as they walked down the street. small town mentality... they're pretty much all the same.

411ken 07-08-2009 09:10 AM

3 stooges.. I bet they will not go anywhere near that guy if he was with other friends..It would have been nice if there were some black gangsters just hanging around the block and heard it then helped out..That would have made my day.

shenmecar 07-08-2009 11:46 AM

blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh another one............

rubencruz 07-08-2009 01:01 PM

I saw Chinese guys, White guys, and Brown guys fighting, and right off the bat I was like, huh! who's on who's side?
Then I realized it was a group of white/chinese/brown guys vs another group of white/chinese/brown guys.

It was the most beautiful thing I'd seen in a long time!

bahahaha
