Because he wasn’t really shot. It’s on the front page of Drudge so it sounds important but this story has got to be the non-story of the year. It’s also likely a lie.
It begins with the shocking crime:
A man told today how he was shot three times in a London street for wearing a Barack Obama T-shirt.
Dube Egwuatu was buying a mobile telephone top-up card in an off-licence when the gunman confronted him and glared at the top, which carries an image of the Democrat US presidential candidate underneath the legend ‘Believe’.
The man then launched into a tirade of racist slurs, shouting ‘I f***ing hate n*****s’ and urging 36-year-old Mr Egwuatu to leave the shop with him.
Wait a sec. Mr. Egwuatu is Black. His attacker is later to have been described as a racist Skinhead. Does it seem odd that we assume the t-shirt, not the fact that this Nazi Skin didn’t like Egwuatu, caused the violence? Are we to assume the skin would have been happy to let Egwuatu go about his business had he not had a Obama shirt on?
How did Egwuatu remain unscathed after being shot anyway?
Realising what had sparked the increasingly violent assault, the terrified Mr Egwuatu zipped up his jacket to cover the image of Mr Obama and walked to his car.
But the shaven-headed man, who was white, followed Mr Egwuatu and after pulling open the passenger door pointed the gun at him.
After pleading with the man to leave him alone, the married former street warden put the keys in the ignition and turned the engine on.
The attacker then fired the gas-powered ball-bearing pistol three times, hitting the civil servant in the face, hand and shoulder.
A “gas-powered ball-bearing pistol” is know here in America as a BB gun. Because of the draconian gun laws in England BB guns are underpowered there, firing with less velocity. Sure it would sting but no more than a paintball gun, which can cause concussions on unhelmeted people and break the skin of a person not wearing a shirt. In other words grow a pair.
Threatening dog or not if some skin shot me with a BB gun I’d have stabbed his ass. Egwuatu decided to pretend this was some shoking political attack when this was clearly common English doucheaggery and the effeminism in English culture that makes this possible.
Wow, you are quite the spinmaster. You advised the victim of this attack to “grow a pair.” Such comments make it obvious that you need to only grow just one. . .one brain.
He was shot with a BB gun. He should have beaten that skin to death. The skin’s behavior will only escalate from here and the “victim” had a chance to nip his future crime spree in the bud.
We all know the dangers of BB guns. The death toll from BB guns is astonishing in England. It is a scientific fact that the average U.S. citizen has thicker skin than your average Brit. So a low powered air pistol can endanger the life of someone with such thin skin. All is not safe for us Americans though because thinskinitist threats us as we start to accept the liberal dogma; which is the primary cause of thinskinitist. I am just thankful that this attack didn’t end in a more gruesome fashion and the victim is safe.
You realize that the Daily Mail is a right-wing publication, right? It’s known in Britain as the “Daily Heil” because of its history of supporting Adolf Hitler.
MJY: But the real point is that a racist attacking a Black man has nothing to do with his choice of apparel and the fact that the skinhead attacked him in the first place is due to the lack of backbone of the English, the fact that they stand by and allow these things to happen rather than get involved i what causes criminals to act so brazenly.
And unfortunately we in America are developing the same attitude where we wait for police to stop crimes and take no responsibility for the safety of ourselves, our families or our neighborhoods.
Cal: Thanks for the history lesson, which doesn’t explain why the English stand around so often like children when some guy armed with a TOY assaults someone? Where were the store owners? The passerbys? Your point is that the Daily mail supported Hitler (A leftist by the way, who put forward policies like Universal health care and middle class entitlements just like your Labor government) more than 60 years ago somehow means it’s acceptable for the English to have been neutered. If some guy shot me, or most Americans, with a BB gun it’d be on, thus why it’s fairly rare for skinheads to run around assaulting people with BB guns here.
I damn sure wouldn’t tell people it was my t shirt. You really think a “right wing” publication is pimping this story? A Black man is assaulted by a man who yelled “I hate Niggers” and you think it’s because the man was wearing an Obama shirt?
Really?
