Man beaten with hard iced-tea after saying n-word to gas station customer
Twisted Tea #TwistedTea
A wild viral video shows a white man being smacked in the face with a can of Twisted Tea at an Ohio gas station after he repeatedly calls a black customer the n-word.
The clip begins with the belligerent customer spewing profanity at the other man behind him in line, threatening to perform a sexual act on his mother and hurling the racist slur seven times.
After 45 seconds of standing his ground, the man being berated smacks the loudmouth in the face with the large can of the alcoholic iced tea that he’s holding.
The fight continues on the ground, where the tea-toting customer easily wrestles his smaller opponent into submission while pummeling him in the head five times and facetiously asking him to call him the n-word again.
The man then puts the aggressor into a wrestling move before finally laying him on the floor and walking away while saying “I asked you not to call me a [n-word].”
The beatdown happened at a Circle K in the city of Elyria, according to local newspaper the Chronicle Telegram. Local cops told the paper it was not reported to police.
Its unclear when the incident took place, but a clip of the fight posted on Twitter Dec. 24 has been watched 1.7 million times since Christmas Eve, eliciting strong reactions from commenters — and inspiring many memes.
“This is what happens when y’all use the n word freely,” one Twitter user wrote.
“Others think it’s ok to. So when y’all make music whatever it is , just know they are listening and mimicking our language and adapting to it. Personally why I hate the word because I know this will happen.”
Others thought the confrontation could have been avoided.
“Idk .. the dude is obviously drunk.. not a real threat.. using the n-word because obviously he has been allowed to use it with impunity..a physically violent confrontation wasn’t necessary..,” another person tweeted.
