The ones I post are optional for those interested.
I've found most posted by others to be a waste of time.
I sense a rush to claim racism.

Right, she was the third person that harassed him that day. Would you have patience with three people stinking their nose in your business in one one day? Would you have patience with even one? It appears that you are trying to defend racist behavior. If some stranger came up to you when you were walking in a local park and demanded your address what would you do?
You do not seem to understand that in no way can one self police such a situation.
And why no comment on the third one??

That is because for you refuse to play by consistent rules.
Let me help you with that. Here's a transcript. This starts at around 3:00 in the video:
An angry White man whose property boundary is fenced off from the pond sees a Black man fishing on the other side of his fence and down an embankment.
Angry White Man: You're on private property. You see that fence? You don't cross that.
Black Guy Fishing: I didn't jump it.
Angry White Man: Hey! You didn't jump it, you walked around it!
Black Guy Fishing: [Tries to say something but is cut off.]
Angry White Man: You know why this is here? YOU KNOW WHY THIS IS HERE?? So ******** like you don't come into my house!
Black Guy Fishing: But you see, I'm fishing. I'm not worried about breaking into your property. I stay in the same neighborhood.
Angry White Man: I'm going to call the cops!
Black Guy Fishing: Not on me.
Angry White Man: On your car!
Black Guy Fishing: You can call on my car, I'm not doing nothing wrong. Hey, bro'. Come on, bro'.
Angry White Man: You see this? You go past that, you're on their property. Why don't you see a fence there? Cause nobody likes [insult is undecipherable] like you come through here.
Black Guy Fishing: Oh you don't like [undecipherable insult]?
Angry White Man: Like you!
Black Guy Fishing: Why am I a [undecipherable insult]?
Angry White Man: Do you live in this neighborhood?
Black Guy Fishing: Yes I do.
Angry White Man: You don't live in this neighborhood! You're lying, you piece of ****. Get the **** out of here!
Black Guy Fishing: Okay.
Angry White Man: GET THE **** OUT OF HERE!
Black Guy Fishing: I'm waiting on my buddy.
Angry White Man: Then get your buddy out of here!
Black Guy Fishing: That's what we're doing.
Angry White Man: Move it! Move it! Move it! Move it! MOVE IT!
Black Guy Fishing: Why are you threatening me for no reason? What are we doing?
Angry White Man: Nice teeth.*
*Not a compliment, but I'm not going to explain the racist trope.

A private lake is different than a local park for access laws. Right? It appears you are too anxious to create racial problems. If I'm on a private lake I understand I can be asked about my access privileges. Seems clear to me.
Didn't watch that far but just read the transcript above now. It got heated and who racialized it first? And we can watch videos all day of black and white and yellow people acting poorly. We probably disagree about the prevalence of racist behavior in society. I have seen more blacks acting inappropriately than whites in my lifetime of seeing confrontations between the races. But if you watch today's media it is almost all one way. Balderdash!
Uh, yes. I brought up the possibility that he was trespassing but I also already provided substantiation for that. I mentioned the fact that he is not a resident by his own admission. That is substantiation. Unlike your assertion which was totally unsubstantiated. And everyone here can see it is you posting rubbish, not I.Uh, nope. You're the one who brought up crime and challenged what was presented in the article. You made claims, therefore you substantiate them. Otherwise we'll simply continue to dismiss them as rubbish.
So you are saying you haven't even looked at his TikTok page yourself? Yet you accept the second hand account in the OP link. Interesting. I guess it isn't that important to you really if you can't be bothered to look it up yourself. I've seen them. I could even post a link to them. But I won't. His FB and TikTok pages are available. Go and find them yourself if you are truly interested.
No it doesn't. You admit the cars contained his friends. That is enough regardless of the quantity. He isn't a resident of Springwater Plantation so he has no authority to invite anyone on to it.
It doesn't say it in this article. If you had bothered to read my previous posts you would already know that Mr. Gibson himself identifies his residence as being in Columbus, Georgia on both his FB and TikTok account pages. I can't fathom why you couldn't be bothered to read the previous posts where I provided this nor bothered to look for the information yourself. It is YOU that is persisting in something in spite of clear evidence to the contrary. Mr. Gibson himself has stated publicly he is a resident of Columbus, Georgia.

Yes, it is different. But guess what? That does not give people that live there the right to only ask people of a particular race to prove that they live there. Which he did by the way. That is why the example I gave you was of you doing something perfectly legal as he was. You have ti backwards. You are doing your best to ignore a racial problem.
You are simply without excuse then. And it got heated and racialized by those unjustly questioning a resident of that community.

It appears that @Shaul is hoisted by his own petard again. He loves to put people that refute him on ignore. Since @Rachel Rugelach showed how he was a resident and he has not responded he probably has her on ignore as well.
The title is
Black man harrassed by white neighbors for fishing in his own neighborhood.
Nowadays would we ever see a headline worded:
White man harrassed by black neighbors for fishing in his own neighborhood.
To me the predicatable wording of headline after headline is comical if not sadly.
Or if it involves police it's always something like 'unarmed black man blah, blah, blah'. It's an eyeroller to me.
Give it a rest. You said car loads, not me.
I read the previous posts. What he identifies as in terms of residence is irrelevant to the fact that he is a resident in the community you claim he isn't. A fact stated several times in the article. He could identify as living on the moon. So what? It is where he lives and the evidence of that in the article that matters. Not the pride of someone caught in an error and refusing to admit that by doubling down and reaching for any chance to make that go away.
Others have already provided plausible possibilities why his information in online accounts may differ from his present residence.
You were wrong. Deal with it.
Where did you get your information that that is indeed the case?
And plus, we aren't told the community's rules for residence checking for the lake. I would bet such rules are color-blind. They may be perfectly within their rights to ask.
I don't play the "Watch the video or you lose!" game.
That demand is from those who can't articulate their
argument.
"People like you" could mean those
who don't respect property lines.
I'm not saying the guy isn't racist.
Just that people are too eager to paint
every negative interracial donnybrook
as racist white folk at it again.
I am not the one saying Mr. Gibson lives in Columbus, Georgia, Mr. Gibson himself says so on his publicly accessible social media pages. Mr Gibson knows where he lives better than the article you are clinging to.
You are the one that needs to "give it up". You are absolutely wrong. That you refuse to admit it I find highly amusing.
Your claims regarding his status in the community where he is being harassed are incorrect and have been shown to be incorrect. If you want to draw conclusions on incorrect information and persist in its use, that is up to you. Given that you have failed to convince anyone to ignore what they have read in the report, I don't see a need to waste further words on it.I am not the one saying Mr. Gibson lives in Columbus, Georgia, Mr. Gibson himself says so on his publicly accessible social media pages. Mr Gibson knows where he lives better than the article you are clinging to.
I think that some people are too eager to defend the indefensible.
I'm defending no one.
The guy could very well be a racist.
But I criticize what appears to be an
agenda based rush to judgment.
So you think some article written by a second person from NBC is a more accurate source for determining Mr. Gibson's residence than his very own personally controlled social media sites. Yeah, I think Mr. Gibson can identify where he lives.
