Dashcam captures brutal robbery, pistol-whipping of Los Angeles Lyft driver
May 14, 2021 | Tom Tillison

A video capturing the alleged robbery of a 67-year-old California Lyft driver by a black man armed with a handgun is making the rounds because of the callous brutality on display.

The entire incident was captured on the driver’s dashcam video, which the gunman apparently not aware his actions were being recorded.

“I was very scared,” Paul Liao told KCAL-TV of the alleged robbery. “Very scared.”

In the video, which was shared online by FOX 11 Los Angeles, Liao is seen trying to reason with the man — there is no audio. At one point, the gunman grabs a cell phone from the dash as they continue to exchange words. After Liao produced what appears to be receipts or other scrap paper from his pocket, the angry robber suddenly lashed out with the weapon striking the Lyft driver in the face.

He would proceed to pistol-whip Liao a second time after more words.

This kind of behavior seems to be all-too-common amongst "young males of color".
Why is that...?
Is it learned...?
Or, is it...?

Black culture in both music and film glorify thuggery. Every perceived slight must be met with force. You take what you want because it is owed to you. Education and work are for bleep. This is what has sprouted from those seeds.

Edit... "bleep" is not what I wrote. It was similar to panzies but not the same...

You mean the 50's when thugs like this would be doing hard years in a harsh prison, if they didn't accidently like get killed for resisting?

The person in the back seat is the coward.

Younger, and armed man attacks an elderly man.

Now he is famous.

Here is hoping him a long incarcerated life.

It's taught behavior.

The damage to society can be reversed.

The first step, removing those things (whatever color) from society and letting them associate only with each other.   

The secondn step?   Don't let them out.    I would say that if we collected them all, from all the prisons and cities in the country, and moved them to Minneapolis, and then built a wall around that hole, we'd be off to a good start.   

Oh, and don't count Minneapolis on the census.

Investigators are still determining if it was a racially-motivated attack and Mr Liao, 67, says his assailant asked him about his ethnicity.

Can we first sentence the assailant to 19 years in prison for armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon before worrying about any racist thoughts he was thinking at the time?
