White man beat up by black teens for listening to rap music

[Maimonides]

Perhaps white people will get the message to stop listening to this garbage.

A 14-year-old Palm Bay boy could be charged with a hate crime. Police say he attacked a white man just because he was listening to rap music.

The boy beat up the 22-year-old man because he didn't think white people should listen to rap music, police said. The man told WFTV he was listening to “Wasted” by Gucci Mane.

David McKnight did not fight back when 14-year-old Joshuah Lamb punched him in the face repeatedly, investigators said. Battery is the only charge Lamb faces, but he could face felony hate crime charges.

McKnight said he was listening to a CD when he was attacked by the teen. McKnight never thought listening to rap music would trigger a black teenager to beat him up because of the color of his skin and choice of music.

“I feel it's a racial thing really,” McKnight said (watch full interview)

According to Palm Bay Police, Lamb was walking down the sidewalk and heard McKnight’s boom box blaring a rap song.

“The argument involved the black male suspect saying, ‘You shouldn't be listening to rap music because you're white.’ The victim said he can listen to whatever type of music he wanted to and then the fist fight was on,” Palm Bay police spokeswoman Yvonne Martinez said.

“I couldn't get away fast enough, let’s just put it that way. Then one of them spit on me, punched me, knocked me down, got a couple of kicks in from a couple of them,” McKnight said.

McKnight suffered a broken toe, concussion, a swollen eye and strangulation marks around his neck. Police said the 14-year-old was with at least seven of his friends, all of whom were instigating the fight.

“I told him to drop it. I was like, ‘Just drop it, let's go, there is eight of you and one of me. Just drop it.’ And he says, ‘I'm not dropping anything.’ Bam! Punched me,” he described.

Police showed up minutes later and arrested Lamb on battery charges. The State Attorney's Office is in the process of trying to figure out if it can charge the boy with a hate crime. State prosecutors said it could be one to two weeks before they decide if the 14-year-old will be charged with a hate crime charge.

Lamb is being held in the juvenile detention center.

its sick when a white person beats up a black guy for being black and its equally sick when a black person beats up a white guy for being white.

Isn't hearing that crap, punishment enough! btw Welcome to Obama's America. Watch this 14 year old will turn into a race issue: Saying something like: He called me a n#gger or something to that effect.

Its good that you can SEE this. Most "Liberals" think racism is only against black people and they cant be racists.

I'd be more embarrassed at my choice of "music" if I were him. At least he can justify his butt-whoopin because there were 8 of them, but there's just no excuse for listening to cRAP.

Read the article it was not just a 14 year old, but his "hood" which included up to 7 fellow black teens. I would not call them animals, because that is an insult to animals. Animals kill not out of hate, but because they feel threatened or hungry and have no control over themselves. These black teens have free will and choose to be evil.

Nigggers will never fight 1on1. They're cowardly excrement.

...but the stubborn white man, enslaved by rap noise, continues to sin and listen to
hateful noise.
...and then G_d hardened the jigger's heart...

I hope he grows up to hate them and everything about their sick culture.

[דוד בן זאב אריה]

I wouldn't advoicate this but I am not going to condem it.

[TruthSpreader]

I hope white people don't listen to that crap. It's not music, it's garbage.

[Ari Ben-Canaan]

Of course he should be charged with a racial hate crime.

Yes the white guy is an idiot but how can anything excuse this?

If a white kid beat up a black guy for listening to rock music, we wouldn't hear the end of it. Underaged or not, he'd be indicted on dozens of separate federal hate-crime and civil-rights charges and he wouldn't get out of prison until he was ninety--optimistically.

[Rubystars]

When I grew up most guys, no matter what race they were, listened to rap music. Most grew out of it. That's no excuse to attack someone.

[Confederate Kahanist]

That's stupid!!!!

If anything, I wish more blacks would listen to quote on quote white music.

if you think the tishkoret (mainstream media) is only doing the conservatives injustice than think again

most liberals i come across on the internet recognize black-on-white racism and despise it just as much as they despise white-on-black racism.

but the tishkoret makes it look like we hate white people and makes it look like you hate black people, thats how they create division. a similar tactic they use is make us look like america-haters while making you look like war mongers, but thats another story.

The black kid was the size of a full grown man.  It's not like getting hit by an average 14 year old kid.

[angryChineseKahanist]

Actually, the jigger gave that wigger sound advice. White people __SHOULD__ stop listening to rap noise.
