I like how you call them animals but condone this behavior. The human mind is truly amazing.

It isn’t very clear from the article but maybe the three guys are showing their loyalty to ISIS? Get the local cops out of the way and call homeland security – maybe send these 3 to guantanamo for a spell.

First of all he isn’t Arab second of all is he was no one has the right to touch anyone. They are cowards that needed a group of to fight one person.

Lmaooo, they’re accusing this man of being a terrorist but are the ones threatening with assault? In what way does this make sense? Even more important, three on one with bats and pipes?

You don’t remember the polar bear/ knockout came from a few years ago. Targeting white people. No color/creed is immune to hate.
