The racist soldier said the young black man was in the wrong neighborhood. So a group of my people

[Celerity]

showed up at his house.

This makes me smile...

I bet he didn't say a word to them

1. News said he and his family were escorted out of their home and taken to an undisclosed location.

Most likely went to stay on Fort Jackson.

But had he been home, he would not have said a word. Racist cowards will bully one on one but they need to have a bigger group backing them to confront another group.

2. "If you have a problem with one of us,

you have a problem with all of us."

I'm sure the solidarity made that young man realize that plenty of people got his back. Good show of support.

5. I don't agree with this at all, if they're told to get off his property then that's

... trespassing if they don't

I agree with the sentiment but not the actions

That all could have been done from the side walk

10. Were they on his property? It's unclear from the photo.

And did someone tell them to move on? (That I doubt. Even a racist South Carolina will be reluctant to take on a peaceful crowd of African Americans. Hell, I would!)

The only disagreement I would have with the action -- other than them staying off of the property -- would be noise. But I think if the crowd was chanting BLM slogans, I would have rushed outside . . . and joined them.

11. +1

13. I believe they are standing on the sidewalk, lawn & driveway.

If he was home, they would be on the sidewalk & street. No need to give this racist a reason to get his guns out.

[RVN VET71]

14. Agree.

You don’t invade a man’s space. You just don’t. Fortunately the fool and his mate had already been spirited away to a safe place or someone might have gotten shot.

Step on his lawn, walk onto his driveway, all he owes you is a verbal request to get the hell off his property. If you don’t abide, you’re trespassing and liable to suffer violent consequences -- which it would be hard for any state to use against the fool because he would be seen as defending his turf and family.

9. It's our neighborhood too

Nice!

12. From his age, and depending on when he enlisted, I wonder if this was his potential retirement home

It just seems odd that someone still planning on more years of service, knowing their duty station will be changed, would buy what looks like a pretty substantial home. If he was just transferred, last year, I'd guess he could have had another 2 or 3 years at that duty station.

So, say, he enlisted at 18. He's now 42. So, 24 years in. The Army and Air Force still have 20 years as retirement age. Navy and Marines have 30 years. He could very well have been looking at retiring and, possibly, 'double dipping' with another government job. Admittedly, I don't know if that's still allowed, but I knew people who were actually working on 'triple dipping' with government jobs. (Retired military, retired civil service, and then taking another governmental job.)

I guess what I'm saying is, this behavior could possibly have torpedoed everything, for him and his family.
