Any other source this? I mean, how was this immediately reported if true?
No idea if the accusations are true or not (but #believewomen right?), but it's pretty clear what the white guy's actions were based on.
And there is this:

You'd have to be soft as fuck to press charges for something like this but it involved skin color so here we are.The thing is, Army douches life is now actually over. Is this kind of mob revenge justice really appropriate? I'm also just so tired of people jerking themselves off online about shit like this. Don't people watch sports anymore? Go deer hunting? Collect stamps?
Or how about he just leaves the kid alone? In the time he spent harassing him, the kid could’ve been two miles away. But no, he has to show the others in his tight knit neighborhood that he’s Billy Badass and no punk-ass little black kid is gonna walk around THEIR community.
We've established the guy is an asshole. Do you think life altering mob justice is what's really appropriate here.
I do. The asshole deserves all of it that comes to him.
It's funny you'd want to live under authoritarianism.
Leftists today don’t understand this. They naively think that only people they consider “assholes” will “get what’s coming to them”. Little do they understand that every step they take in that delusional direction is one step closer to themselves being that target because someone else arbitrarily decided they were the asshole now. They’ll cheer the mob while slandering and villainizing the target of the mob until the mob turns on them. Then they’ll cry out for help, but it will be too late. This is history repeating itself, they are just too blind or arrogant to see it.

And already we’re back to throwing peaceful protest and violent mobs together in the same tidy bucket. Mid season protest season form, old bean!

The problem with Trumpers is that they want to paint everybody with a broad brush and at the same time having their cake and eating it too.
There are a lot of Demorcats/Liberals who believe that protest in general doesn't accomplish anything. It's more of a social event than a political one.
We should be focusing more on dismantling the circular logic and blatantly un-American bullshit that "patriotic" Trumpers are constantly throwing at us, as taught to them by the ex-Orangutan-In-Chief.
But people would rather grandstand.

It depends on your perspective of the goals of dozens of people going to someone's home, standing on and around their property, and chanting... not exclusively and amoungst many others things... for them to come out, eventually leading to the house being vandalized and cops having to be stationed there... is. Is it to express your displeasure with the behavior of law enforcement or maybe is it to intimidate the person the house?

my perspective is that is not the height of enlightened activism today.

Yeah, hence why i was trying to bring it back to the throwing peaceful and violent protests together comment. Are dozens of people taunting you from your lawn a peaceful protest?

Like if they say "BLM is nothing but an excuse for rioting and violence against cops"... it's viscous circle.
