In a video posted to TMZ on Sunday, NBA star JR Smith said he beat up a man who allegedly broke a window on his truck while it sat parked on a residential street in Los Angeles.
TMZ posted footage of the alleged incident, which reportedly shows Smith beating up the man near his truck before Smith's friends step in to pull him away. Smith, 34, is seen kicking and punching the unidentified man several times before he runs away.
The incident happened in the Fairfax district, a short distance from where demonstrators were gathering to protest the death of George Floyd.

"This is a residential area. There wasn't any stores over here," Smith said in the video. "I chased him down and whooped his ass. This ain't no hate crime. I ain't got no problem with anybody. ... He didn't know whose window he broke and he got his ass whooped."
Smith, who played 15 seasons in the NBA, didn't play this season after going unsigned. The altercation comes one day after Smith was seen riding bicycles in L.A. with LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Jordan Clarkson and sports agent Rich Paul.

Good on him. Some asses start getting whooped and much of this nonsense stops.
Handling these milquetoast pussies with kids gloves has to go.
Don't know if you do FB but they are calling for a protest downtown on saturday. Hope everything goes well. Most them downtown businesses are hurting already.
In TC?
Yes
I'll let the folk i know with businesses down there know about it.

Says it's canceled.
I'm not on facebook so i don't get stuff like this
postponed? I am willing to bet they got informed you have to have a permit, I'm down for the protest but as you well know we have enough asshats destroying shit downtown. I'll have to get a MAGA hat to wear to see if some (deleted) has the balls to approach me.
Or they are blowing smoke in an attempt to not have many show up to defend private property.
Attack my shit and you will open a can of worms from what you won't recover from. I take no prisoners.
One more thing we agree on.
Scary isn't it?
Not really ....
That is the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day.
Hey, i'm a Marine. I'm too stupid to scare very easily.
Semper Fi marine.
Thx you’re Army right?
Go Army! Except when you’re playing the squidly’s
Yes, retired Army. Have you ever done the Camp Pendleton Mud Race?
Respect for anyone who retired out of the military. One hitch was enough for me.
But no, never did much of the extracurricular running stuff. Ran enough to max PFT’s but that was it. We ran and humped enough for me during our regular duties. I rarely was looking for more of that shit.
looked like a fun time though
The mud run is the funnest thing ever. At the end of the run everyone jumps into a massive mud pit and just goes at it.
Finally JUSTICE! And no cost to the taxpayer.
People have a right to protect their stuff
Absolutely.
I wonder if I go downtown to protect peoples property what I will be labeled as?
I like good American citizen but that's just me.
