Yeah, he can sue a bar he was knocked out in. Not sue the guy who knocked him out. And, naturally he dindu nuffins! In the kind of small, out of the way, village where Whiteys live to avoid the nigger in the first place.
A Black customer was beaten right outside a bar and no one called police. He can sue, a court says.
The bartender said that he was drinking a beer post-shift when someone came in and said a Black man — the person used the n-word — had been knocked out.
The staffer, Ian Graham, immediately knew who the victim was, he said later. “We only have one colored in our town,” he testified, according to court documents.
Graham recalled heading outside to find the African American man now conscious but spitting out blood, sprawled out in the street in the tiny Michigan village called Wolverine. He heard that a White patron — a man with a “reputation for being racist” — had hit the victim after hurling a racial slur. He told the court he then watched as that patron emerged from the bar to punch the Black customer three more times, knocking the man to the ground over several minutes.
Edward James Tyson, 38, did not hit back, he said. He just kept asking a question: “Why are you calling me that?”
Then the Saintly Dindu said "Ahhh still wubs yooz all!" and told them to get right with Jesus, no doubt.
At first, a court said Tyson could not sue the bar for negligence that Saturday night in 2015. But this week the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled otherwise, clearing the way for Tyson to seek damages after he says he suffered a traumatic brain injury. The fact that Tyson was beaten just outside the front door does not relieve the bar staff of any duty to intervene, the appeals court said.
Now, a venue itself is liable for anyone who might get beaten up for God only knows what even outside their premises. This is a very, very bad precedent. This might cause bars to close, literally.
Tyson was on his way to pick up a pizza order from the bar on Sept. 12, 2015, according to his lawsuit and court testimony. Dawkins testified that he was at B.S. & Co for “bike night” and went outside to listen to live music across the street sponsored by a motorcycle group known for advocating against bike helmet laws, court documents state.
As Tyson and his friend approached the bar, Tyson testified, he met a barrage of racial slurs.
Two people — one of whom was later hired by the bar, according to the appeals court — were targeting him with the n-word. Tyson said he “expressed his offense” and kept walking, court documents say. But then Dawkins stepped in front of him, he said.
Dawkins allegedly called him the n-word.
Tyson said he tried to back away. Dawkins testified that Tyson asked Dawkins if he’d called him a slur and then “postured for a fight,” court documents state.
But both men agreed on what happened next: Dawkins punched Tyson.
That sounds fishy as all hell.
