It's pretty nasty stuff. Sad to see anyone get beaten up for nothing.

No justice [if you don't convict the white cop], no peace.

No justice [if you don't convict the white cop], no peace.

A rural Mississippi man suffered life-threatening injuries and required brain surgery after he entered a Waffle House despite receiving a warning not to enter the restaurant because of the color of his skin.

The severe beating occurred early Sunday morning around 2 a.m., reports The Clarion-Ledger. Up to 20 assailants participated. The injured man is Ralph Weems IV, a veteran of the Iraq War and a Marine. He is white.

The altercation began at about 1 a.m. when Weems and a friend, David Knighten, chose to go inside the Waffle House. They made this decision after a man in the parking lot diplomatically suggested that they should leave because the patrons inside were angry about the Aug. 9 police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. Thus, the unidentified man explained, the restaurant would not be a safe place for two white people.

Start a thread so we can be outraged properly.

This is some terrible stuff.

It's awful indeed. The worst part about it is that this kind of story happens far too frequently, but is rarely reported. The second part of the story can only make us hope that mainstream media will pick it up. Will that happen? I think CNN would regurgitate a large crow before that.

...continued from previous post...

According to Knighten, Weems, 32, began arguing with customers not long after he entered the Waffle House. It’s not clear what was said or what was in dispute. After the police eventually showed up, Weems and Knighten left.

On the way home, the pair decided to stop at a Huddle House — a similar, less iconic eatery that dots the South.

A group of about 20 men followed Weems and Knighten to the mostly empty Huddle House parking lot. A security guard told everyone to leave. However, Weems and Knighten found that some of the men had blocked their way. Witnesses described the men as black but otherwise could not identify them.

Knighten, an Air Force veteran who fought in the war in Afghanistan, said he attempted to calm the hostilities, to no avail.The 20 or so people who came for Weems attacked him. He ended up on the ground, getting brutally kicked. Knighten also suffered several injuries as he tried but failed to help his friend.

“All my injuries were minor fractures and lacerations,” he explained on Facebook, according to The Clarion-Ledger. “I just wish I could have reached him sooner. Please keep your thoughts and prayers on Ralph.”

Knighten added: “I do remember racial slurs being yelled from the crowd.” Police failed to arrive on the scene until the crowd had dispersed.

“This does not appear to be a hate crime,” local police chief Tim Brinkley said, according to The Times-Picayune. “It’s very early in this investigation but thus far the evidence and statements suggest that a verbal altercation turned physical and somebody got hurt.” (RELATED: Sunday Night Brings More Looting And Destruction To Ferguson; National Guard On Its Way)

For now, the incident is under investigation as an aggravated assault. “It’s not clear whether or not all of the parties were involved in both incidents,” Brinkley also noted.

On Monday, police arrested 22-year-old Courtez McMillian in connection with the conflict. Police say other arrests are pending based on witness accounts and video footage captured in the Huddle House parking lot. Weems is currently listed in fair condition at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo.

Bradley Barnes, who is related to Weems, said Weems is currently in a post-brain surgery coma induced by doctors. “They’re going to try and wake him up tomorrow and see what damage was done,” Bradley said, according to The Times-Picayune.

What is the likelihood that whites will march and riot while shouting, "no justice, no peace?" Not likely. Or, not yet.

First Arrest Made in Vicious, Possibly Racially Motivated Beating of U.S. Marine

Police have arrested one suspect in the brutal beating of a former U.S. Marine in West Point, Mississippi, Police Chief Tim Brinkley told reporters on Monday.

Ralph Weems, 32, was left with “life-threatening injuries” and placed into a medically induced coma after a group of men assaulted him in a restaurant parking lot on Saturday morning.

Courtez McMilliam, 22, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault late Monday. Though Brinkley said in a press release that the attack doesn’t appear to be a hate crime, an eyewitness account suggests race may have played a role in the attack. The first suspect arrested in connection to the beating is a black man; Weems is white.

why would they march and protest?

Brinkley says in a news release Monday that 22-year-old Courtez McMillian is in the Clay County jail pending charges of aggravated assault.

Actually, my statement was about marching and rioting. But, no matter. If you haven't noticed, it's not just the black people who are pissed off about the condition of race relations in America. Most whites in America want to see justice for ALL, and not just some. It may be a pipe dream for everyone to be on the same page.

That is why there was almost universal support in the Black community for the officer being charged and rigorously prosecuted , regardless of the facts

SMH do you really believe that

no i don't believe that, because it's something you just pulled out of your rear.

'universal support in the black community' = you don't know what you're talking about.

Your right, I should have said overwhelming support. There are a few that supported justice, meaning, let the facts come out and then lets deal with it. Not many
