WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS IMAGES AND LANGUAGE THAT MAY OFFEND SOME VIEWERS. When one man sat down next to a second man in a St. Louis light rail car late Monday and asked him his opinion on the shooting of Michael Brown, it was not the beginning of a discussion. It was the start of an assault, police said. The second man, who was white, didn’t want to answer the question. Then the first man, who was black, boxed him in the face. Two more African-American men joined in the beating, according to a police report. It was caught on surveillance cameras on the MetroLink train and a passenger recorded it with a cell phone and posted the video online. It has gone viral. Police confirmed to CNN affiliate KMOV that the online images came from Monday’s attack. Late commute The victim, 43, was commuting home when a young man in a red T-shirt and cap walked up to him. The victim asked not to be named in media reports. The man asked to use the victim’s cell phone. He declined, and the young man sat down beside him. “Then he asked me my opinion on the Michael Brown thing,” the victim told KMOV, “and I responded I was too tired to think about it right now.” The suspect, in his twenties, stood up. “The next thing I know, he sucker punches me right in the middle of my face,” the victim said. The video showed the suspect unleashing a barrage of punches at the head of the victim, who covered himself with his hand and forearms. The two other men, also in their twenties, joined in, police said. As the train pulled into a station, a security guard saw part of the beating and alerted police. The man in the red T-shirt could be seen on video kicking at the victim’s face before the train’s doors opened and the assailants ran out. Faces on camera The train’s surveillance cameras captured clear images of their faces, which MetroLink passed on to journalists. Police are looking for the three men. They face possible charges of third-degree assault, police said. It is a misdemeanor under Missouri law. The victim was left with bruises on his face and forehead, police said. The first punch dug the frame of his eyeglasses into the skin of his nose, the victim said. He declined to receive medical treatment. But then there was the emotional pain. On the video, people could be heard laughing while the man was beaten. “I think it was disgusting that people were sort of laughing and smiling about it,” the victim said. “And no one offered to help. No one seemed to call 911.” Condemnation of the beating has spread across social media, including from people who protested the shooting of Brown last year by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. The officer was not indicted in Brown’s death. St. Louis alderman Antonio French, a vocal community leader in the aftermath of Ferguson, tweeted his disappointment in the beating. “Mike Brown question sparks MetroLink beating caught on video,” he wrote. “This is disgusting. We have a major problem, STL.”

St. Louis public transit camera captures images of beating suspects.
Ok,what I am going to have to say here ain't going to be popular,but here goes. The white puss deserved to get the snot beat out of him because he sat there like a little punk crying for him mommy while the black thug wannabes hit him with all the power of a 12 year old Girl Scout. I could maybe see it if the guy had given him a serious smack hard enough for a minor concussion,but all that would have done to me would have been to piss me off and make me want to kill you. White people,listen up! Blacks and browns are going to keep beating the snot out of you for no reason at all other than they can for EXACTLY as long as you continue to let them do it,while whimpering and begging for more. I can guarantee you that even as old and crippled up as I am,if that SOB had hit me like he hit that punk sitting in the seat,he wouldn't have hit me twice before he was on his way to the ER to get his nuts put in a sling,and at least one of his eyes put back in the socket. I can guarantee you that if that had happened the first 30 seconds of the assault,the other two cowards would have been looking out the window and hoping nobody would beat on them instead of jumping in. And "No,I ain't playing at being a tough guy". You are sitting down with an open area in front of you,and this bozo comes up and starts punching on you at a level where all you have to do to take out his nuts is to punch straight forward,and after that you OWN his ass so you might as well use a thumb to gouge the MoFo's eye out while you are at it so he can scream loud enough to impress his bros so they hear their mama's calling. And all that is if I don't just shoot him and be done with it. White people start doing that and non-white people will stop attacking you for no reason. On the other hand,they will continue to attack you as long as there is no down side for them.
I kicked a black guys ass before. His name was James. I was kicking his ass and one of his 8 siblings came to help. His brother Mark. Then my brother came to my aid and we kicked their asses. They ran in the house. They were my next door neighbors when I was about 15 living on a military base. Later we were friends again. I was playing James in some 21 basketball. I noticed that he was a lot more solid then months earlier. He would have been a bigger challenge if we went at it again. But we didn't. I actually liked James. His mother was a weirdo though. Jehovas Witness.
Aren't Jehovah Witnesses considered "Christian" like you?
No they are considered a cult by Christians.
Have you ever considered that they consider themselves as "Christians" and may consider all other faiths or sects to be "cults?"
They probably think that. They don't follow scripture. They take away from it and probably add to it also. That is how you know they are a cult.
How? They may be able to help these violent street people, particularly since Jehovah Witnesses walk the streets and meet with people spreading, "the WORD."
www.dianedew.com/jwfalset.htm Watchtower.teaching Teaching of Scripture THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST Jesus was an angel who became a man (Watchtower, 5/15/63, p 307). He was just a man, however -- not God in the flesh (Reasoning from the Scriptures, 1985, p 306). Jesus is/was fully God and fully man. See The Deity of Jesus Christ THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS Jesus was only 'spiritually' raised, not physically (Awake, 7/22/73, p 4; Let God be True, p 276). Jesus was physically raised. In fact, Scripture teaches Jesus even raised himself from the dead. See The Resurrection of Jesus Christ ETERNAL JUDGMENT The doctrine of eternal torment (hell) is not valid. (Let God be True, p.90- 90, and p. 94-95) The soul becomes extinct (nonexistent) after death (Let God be True, p. 74, 75 and p. 99). Scripture, in both the Old and New Testament, teaches that the wicked will be eternally tormented in hell. See The After-life SALVATION Salvation is by works (Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 1, pp. 150, 152), through membership in the organization (Watchtower, 2/15/79, p 30). Salvation by grace through faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ. See Salvation THE TRINITY The doctrine of the "trinity" is an invention of man. (Let God be True, p 100, 101) Although the word "trinity" is not in the Bible, the concept of the three-in-one is throughout the Old and New Testaments. See The Godhead THE HOLY SPIRIT The Holy Spirit is an inanimate force or power. (Watchtower, 6/1/52, p 24; Reasoning from the Scriptures, 1985, pp 406, 407)
Your post appears to be a similar discussion that all religions perform to buoy up their own interpretations. Don't you see what you do? You argue from a venue of interpretation that you simply accept as inarguable while denying the interpretations of others. It is counter productive for understanding the true spirit about the world around us.
It isn't interpretations. The Bible says Hell. They say no. Same with their other crap they peddle.
The ye ol' sophomoric evil vs. good dichotomy is brought up again. The Holy Bible didn't invent that concept, you know. Do you know where the concept came from?
It came from God. It was told to mankind through the Bible. It was created for the rebelling Angels. Anything to the contrary is not true.
Anything to the contrary is not true. How do you know? Is your faith about your beliefs the supporting evidence about fact?
I know because the Bible is true. Without contradiction. Without error.
Again, where is the supporting evidence? How has your "truth" benefited America when crime is everywhere and yet Christian churches are everywhere?

Well some supporting evidence would be the geological record. Fossils were created by the flood of Noah. My time is short so so are my answers.
And once again, the "proof" has been jam-packed into witness after witness in the Bible and Gospels, citing the same events, places, and people. But you...regard it all as "myth"? In *your* opinion, is Plato "myth"? The Greek Empire? Caesar? Nero? Pontius Pilate? The Roman Empire? Alexander the Great? Charlemagne? At exactly WHAT point should any history NOT be regarded as myth? 100 B.C.? 500 A.D.? 1787 A.D.? Exactly WHEN?? And whom shall be the arbiter of "history"? Atheists and agnostics?
