A few videos are making the rounds showing a wild brawl taking place at one of the gates in Miami International Airport. We don’t know what started the brawl, although the media are reporting that the police did eventually arrest one person for disorderly conduct. The primary victim, however, does not want to press charges, so the matter will almost certainly disappear.
What makes one of the videos so compelling is the fact that it seemly represents the breakdown of law and order across American cities.

Widburg citing "The Abolition of Man!" This is on my list of "Books One Must Read to Understand the World."
CS Lewis says, to put it in modern parlance, when you delete traditional moral values you create a moral vacuum, which is filled by individuals simply acting on unguided impulse and a world that looks a lot like hell.
This is what we're living through.

12% of the population commit over half the violent crimes in our Country. A microcosm of this fact is shown in this video. Any questions?

Just more troglodytes on chimpout. Nothing to see here. If it happens every day and nothing of value is involved, there is no story.

I wonder if some small portion of the whole brawling in public thing - whether it be a bunch of guys, men and women, women and women, or teens - couldn't be getting ON CAMERA and GOING VIRAL. Being a celebrity like the Kardashians.

What a depressing way to start the morning. Unfortunately it's becoming all too common.

A microcosm of a certain segment of our society, one which commands an inordinate proportion of our attention. To call this a reflection of our society at large is wrong and the worst wrong is done to those who happen to share some visual characteristics with the mob yet live by Christian, and traditional American values.

One arrest for disorderly conduct?!
The male on the right side (pink shirt) was committing at least felony battery.

I would NEVER step in to break up a fight between them. No upside.

It's too bad Ma'Khia wasn't there with her knife.
That brawl wouldn't have lasted too long if she were.

When some groups are told that their bad behavior is not their fault - what do we think we are going to get? Good behavior? My question is when are guilty white liberals going to lose the guilt? And, as always, my sympathies to the many Blacks who have nothing to do with this kind of behavior.

One would think that a group of happy tourists, freshly suntanned and rejuvenated after days at the beach, would be in a more pleasant mood. One would be wrong.

This is the result of the breakdown of families. Children growing up without fathers. Children having children. Thank you, LBJ

What a miraculous thing - the systemically oppressed can afford the jetset lifestyle. That trial must have fixed things.

In a situation where members of an ethnic group are fighting it out, the risks of intervening are high. First, they're more used to fighting than we are, second, the risk of all participants turning on the one who tries to intervene is high, and three, the likelihood of getting badly injured because of the first and second points is near certain. Best to retreat to safety and let the someone win or wait until people paid to break up fights show up.

According to web search, "Chimpout" was a racist web site that allowed users to post violent videos of black people for purposes of describing them as sub human animals. That is clan talk and that is nazi talk.
As per search results, it was closed a few years ago.
Lcom staff is gonna have to get their arms around this. If you don't nix these people, they will infect this great forum, as they are looking for a place to go, and turn it into the type of forum that is an easy target for progressives. It is likely some of the racist posters are progressive fakesters.
We don't want such poster here. Get. Out.
That crap is not conservative. It is not Limbaugh, It is not Buckley. It is not Reagan. Get. Out.

Pants down around thighs isn't helpful in any sort of movement. Unfortunately, you must be disarmed in this location, so I minimize my time there.
And yes, the standard perps, violent blacks.

Wait they weren't practicing social distancing they are in violation of government law in public places. Well there you have it folks welcome to Planet of the Apes. It's upon us and you must co-exist with these persons. In the last twenty years my wife and I have withdrawn from much of group endeavors including air terminals and all people in general who gather in groups. I don't trust any group of all races that I think are dangerous including the white tattooed youth also. I will not subject myself and my wife to danger while seeking fun and luxury. My son told me of a ship cruise where the same sort of thing happened. No I won't bend to receive or interact with that race of people on any circumstances.

Fta: Moreover, there are almost no men with chests to step in and make things right.
While I appreciate the reference and think it noble, this not the place and time for men to stand up unless they themselves or their loved ones are being threatened. Why take the risk? If you are a layman and you interfere, you may be arrested by security if they ever show up or all the combatants may turn on you like feral dogs. If you are police, no matter what you do, you are the bad guy. This is the world secular people want. A ship with no rudder will always end up on the rocks.

Unless someone’s life is clearly in danger no one should ever intervene in a such a brawl unless they are armed or have the support of several other people.
This not a random event. We see this all time and it almost always is the same story, failure of family, community leaders, political leaders and the justice system to instill and enforce non-violent behavior in young people.
Until this changes, people will take whatever steps necessary to avoid any possible interaction or encounters with this type potential violence. When society breaks down, fear of violence surpasses all other emotions.
