Finally...can we all stop acting as if what we would do as 30, 40, 50+ year old adults is what he should have done or what we'd have done if we were in his shoes? Well...no shite. As a 42 year old man who understands the value of the lottery ticket Hill has in his pocket if he's able to stay healthy and out of trouble for the next year I can assure you there's nothing anyone could have said to me that could have made me jeopardize that. 22 years ago? I can't promise that, and I'm almost certain neither could any of you.

this bears so much repeating

I'll assume you're not talking about a black man intentionally insulting another in probably the worst way possible, but rather the everyday conversation kind of use. Because the first kind of explains itself. I call my friends or brother all kinds of terrible things that others can't without invoking an angry response. Funny how that works.

Doesn't make it less of a crime, but thanks for the babble....

You simply cannot hit someone from behind that is not posing a threat to you.

Kid in Laffy is on trial for Murder 1 right now....he woke up to find kids burglarizing his vehicle. Grabbed a pistol and ran outside and shot at the vehicle as it moved AWAY from him....got extremely unlucky and hit one in the head......so it's murder....now fast forward to Hill..

If the guy he punched would have died from the punch, Hill would be charged with manslaughter or negligent homicide at least...Do you really think it would matter if the N word was said by the guy on the ground and or walking away?

NO!...So that is why Hill is charged. SO all you guys taking how it was in the old days, guys fight, yada yada yada, etc. really need to ease up...All things in life are more closely watched now, so too bad for those who get caught on video. No matter what the guy walking away said, if Hill felt threatened, he could have turned and ran. I've heard the young man can move pretty quickly when trying to get away from large fast enemies.
