This white supremacist thinks he owns the neighborhood and tell a black man to get out

What a frigging bully. I hope he pays for this ignorant behavior.

EDIT: I called the number and got this message: "The number you have called has been changed, disconnected or is not in service" He is definitely going through some things.

The douche bag has closed down all his social media accounts so he already knows he'll be going through some things before this is over.

and the same ages and size differences.

Something like that helps to reinforce how out of the normal this crap is.

Maybe even put it on the Internet as fake to get comments. See if there is any support for the adult abuser. Interesting there are several voices on Twitter supporting this abusive moron.

Some white folks can't see child.

Two batteries on the kid (the push shown and later slapping the phone out of his hands) and no assault charges. Even without a physical battery, it is already an assault with the threats. He should have been in cuffs that day. A black man or a white man doing that to a white child would have been.

onathan Pentland is a U.S. Army sergeant first class who is being investigated over a viral video from Columbia, South Carolina. The 42-year-old Pentland is based at Fort Jackson in Columbia, according to now-deleted photos on his unit’s Facebook page. Pentland was identified by social media users on Tuesday April 13, 2021, a day after the video was posted online.

The video, which can be seen below, shows Pentland pushing, threatening and yelling at a young Black male, who has only been identified as Deandre, in the Columbia neighborhood where Pentland lives. Pentland can be heard in the video, which was posted on Facebook, telling Deandre to leave the neighborhood, and questioning him when he says he also lives there. The incident takes place on a public sidewalk in the Summit neighborhood of Columbia, according to the woman who posted it. She said Pentland also broke Deandre’s phone.

After hundreds of Twitter users sent the video to accounts associated with Fort Jackson, many accusing Pentland of displaying racist behavior, and asking if the Army condoned it, Fort Jackson Commanding General Milford Beagle Jr. tweeted, “This is by no means condoned by any service member. We will get to the bottom of this ASAP.”

Pentland and his wife, Cassie Pentland, did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Heavy. The Richland County Sheriff’s Department, City of Columbia Police Department and Fort Jackson and U.S. Army media representatives also did not immediately respond to requests for comment and more information.

Under the rules of engagement for stand your grounders, the teenager would have been justified in using lethal force.

a property crime (breaking the kid's phone which he slapped out of his hand).

I think they should get a shout out as well.

Two batteries (the push and the slap).

Also the verbal assault and threats.

I like how guys like this think they can show dominance by being tough. Until they get into an actual fight and they drop like a brick and cry that they are the victim. I wouldn't take shit from a guy like this. The minute he would shove me, that would be the end of it. Drop gloves.

Any white man doing that to a white child would be leaving the community in a squad car while cuffed. Any black man might actually get roughed up prior to being put in the squad car.
