What can happen

Several points of interest here:

when you posted under the title "what can happen" did you mean a fight can happen and someone can die or were you referring to the suggestion of institutionalised racism within the judicial system suggested by the article?

My thoughts were:

These guys got only months for kicking the brains of to the guy.

The guy who got the thumping, when he put his socks on that morning, would have never guessed what the day would bring.

Per the story they got the best of him let him up but he came back for more.

There were no weapons other that boots and fist.

If we don't have our head screwed on right or prepared for such an encounter that can happen.

No tap-out.
