Fuck around & find out - Striking UAW workers battle racist

Story - https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/striking-uaw-members-fight-man-outside-stellantis-plant-claiming-he-yelled-racial-slurs]

A brawl erupted outside the Stellantis Center Line facility early Friday evening after a man driving by allegedly hurled racial slurs and insults at striking UAW members.

The incident - caught on video as SkyFOX helicopter cameras were rolling - unfolded with the man stopping his SUV and getting into a verbal confrontation with a group of UAW members.

Video shows it quickly escalated with shoving and the man grabbing a striker's sign, wielding it as a weapon swinging at UAW members.

After backing up against a fence, punches were exchanged as a group of members traded blows with the man. At one point the man stumbled onto the ground where he absorbed additional punishment.

was getting out of his vehicle...and leaving his kids behind too...he must've thought he was strong enough to take on a picket line of strikers.

What an idiot. Once he recovers, I know he won't make that mistake again.

I don't mind seeing the asshole tuned up a bit, but when he was in real danger, Union Brothers did the responsible thing and put a stop to it.

Yelling into a crowd after his racists remarks and then getting out of his car to engage with those he just berated? Priceless. Those poor kids saw a very violent side of their dad. I hope the kids are alright.

working out for you, dear victim? And just how do you think a civil war will go? I'll tell you now. They will kill you and your entire family and everyone just like you. they will. It might be best to return to civility...but call me an insult and tell me I am wrong to demand better wages, etc...I will punch you down too!!!He got what he deserved!!! Do it to all of them.

(I know I'm ignorant on a lot of these).

secondly, the SOB got what was coming to him and I'm glad his kids got to see one of the consequences to being a racist.
