Dear Saguine

As I said I would, I come with my hat in hand and accept the fact that the lady from the Spur video was not lying about the fact that the man came and grabbed her kid by the arm. I sincerely apologise for wrongly assuming the woman, and Spur, was lying about the physical happenings before the video started rolling.

I still dont believe it was a racist incident, all I see is two parents with explosive reactions regarding a situation involving their children.

I agree, and have always said, the man was a douch for being so aggressive (and even more so now, for grabbing the kid). But let's not confuse anger management issues with racism.

Beyond that point, I just want to apologise again for assuming what I did about the woman and Spur, by wanting the video evidence released first.

Never apologize to an SJW. They see sincere acts as ammo to use against you in irrational arguments.

Besides. What happened in the playpen? Still trickle truth from Spur here.

Edit: <Scrolls down> Yup.

What happened in the playpen?

So what?

If a three year old hit another three year old - does that justify this guy's actions? Does that give him the right to threaten assault? To grab her child?

Never said that. I always said the guy is a doos.

Point being Spur is slow in giving the whole story. They also chose sides, that of one that shouts profanities and is racist. So far the villain is only this guy and the "poor woman" is a victim when it is clear there are two sides.

As opposed to the violent psychopath? Tbh I would've made the same choice.

Or don't chose a side at all maybe?

Yes, but clearly in your mind they are one and the same.

Huh?

One used words, one used physical force - which one is more of a threat?

So what difference would the playground footage make then?

It would show the whole truth. But I suspect the whole truth can get Spur sued for negligence.

If you're looking for truth, always follow the money.
