Maybe it is easy to say behind a keyboard - plenty do just that, but some people know for a fact how they'd respond. However, for those who were there and bound by fear (not the ones who simply dudn't care) one cannot fault them. Some people just don't have courage; some people do. What helps is telling yourself how to respond before an event takes place. Sounds like you've done exactly that. If I ever get jumped by 5 dudes for an act of kindness, then I hope you're somewhere in the vacinity.

Unreal.
5 people beat on a lone dude with a cane.
I know people dont like to get involved in this type of stuff, but man, I wish I was there.
I dont care if I got beat down as well, but im not going to sit back, sucking on my soda watching 5 people hit on 1 person.
Nothing but pure cowardice.
Dito, i know its easily said sat behind a keyboard but there is no way in hell i could let this sh*t slide if i was there, even if it meant a beat down for me as well, but to be honest i would fancy my chances as spineless cowards don't like being stood up to.

If it was the other way around, the media would be shrieking about racism. Does he get to go to the White House now? Oh, wait...
Of course they would, even when there's no evidence to support it. And ATS decries them for doing so.
Then turns around and cries race when it suits them to do so.
It's rather spectacular.

Okay well since you missed it the other three times I said it, I'll repeat it again: just because people of one race attack somebody of a different race doesn't make it a hate crime.
So yes, if they picked him because he was disabled: hate crime.
Because he's white: hate crime.
Because he's disabled and white: hate crime.
If they picked him because he was the only one that opened his mouth when one of them complained about needing money, then it's not a hate crime. But unless you happen to know one of the attackers and they've told you why they assaulted the victim, then you don't know why they picked him any more or less than anybody else does. So labeling it a hate crime without knowing the motivation is (PLOT TWIST!) exactly what people on ATS complain about the media doing when the races are reversed.
And at no point have I ever said or indicated anything other than the above. If you still don't understand then I can't help you, as I can't come up with a way to dumb it down any further than it is.

No are you slow so i need to dumb it down for you! the media covers for black crimes with commentators who try and obfuscate the situation like you are trying. The black guy has to tell you its a hate crime to make it a hate crime lol really do you think they are dumb enough to add more years by claiming yeah we picked him because he was white. Really? Its like the left needs a hand written confession found at the location on the thugs person that they are going to pick a white disabled elderly man to rob to even begin to question if its a hate crime hell even when we have video of people torturing a disabled white kid saying F--k white people F--k donald trump the media says well it might just be political hell the police department who found the tortured kid were afraid to call it a hate crime and they had the video evidence!
It's not fooling anyone anymore that black people cant commit hate crimes agaisnt white or harbor blatant racist motivation to target whites for hate crimes we know they do and can. We are not living in obama land anymore those days are over! I'm just trying to get you up to speed because the second their friends decided to help them jump a elderly white male and rob him they had all the facts they needed to know that they are commiting a hate crime. But your probably right they just wanted to culturally enrich this guys life and liberate him from his culturally oppressive white supremacy tool of oppression aka his money!
So labeling it a hate crime without knowing the motivation is (PLOT TWIST!) exactly what people on ATS complain about the media doing when the races are reversed.

Must be nice to be able to bury your head so deep in the sand that the obvious just floats over you like clouds in the sky.
The truth, despite what the media and the BLM movement wants you to believe is that there is more black on white hate crimes (and crimes in general) than the other way around. The only systematic abuse of a race is committed by the race crying foul.
Every single statistic released by anyone proves this. We can no longer just pretend this isn't an issue because it hurts someone feelings, or it isn't politically correct. It's time to face reality for what it is, reality.

And this is why your average person should be carrying a knife, at least.
If I saw this happening, I'd have stepped in to help protect that guy.
