MI men arrested for viciously beating Army veteran they considered a ‘n*gger lover’

Police in Michigan arrested three men who are accused of viciously beating an Army veteran who objected to their racist remarks.

According to the Westland Police Department, United States Army veteran Adam Wagner went to a 7-11 convenience store at 2 a.m. Saturday morning to purchase a pack of cigarettes. Once inside, he noticed three men harassing the female clerk, and he told them to stop.

When he walked outside, the trio followed him. At this point, Wagner told police, they noticed the Army insignia on Wagner’s car and began to taunt him about the military.

“They were saying, ‘How can you be in the military when they let black people in the military?’ They used the ‘n word’, saying {he) was an ‘n-word’ lover,” Wagner’s girlfriend told WJBK.

1. Glad Wagner intervened. Hope they get the racist cowards.

2. In this day and age, fuck. PS, attention all who shit on the Southern states...

It happens in the North, too.

And the West and the East.

Racism is everywhere.

8. All of us in Michigan know how bad it is here.

Rural Michigan is almost entirely white, and too many are racist. Add in white-flight suburbs and the power of right-wing talk radio, and it's bad. Really bad.

3. ...

“I took pretty, pretty good offense to that because my best friend in the army was black. He saved my life,” Wagner added.

4. 3 on 1? Yeah, real men, huh?

It took three real cowards to rough up one real man. Racist scum who will definitely wind up in prison for their extreme ignorance. Or, they will mess with the wrong man, and wind up dying for their stupidity.

5. Three Debits To The White Race

Three debits to the white race, and trashing someone who did something they didn't do--volunteer for military service. What a passel of prize human beings!

I hope the prosecutor does his/her job and that the judge and jury throws the book at those scum balls.

6. I use to live in the area.

I think any Wayne County jury will not be kind to those arrested and they won't find any Wayne County jail very comfortable. They've made their own bed and will have to sleep in it.

7. This story makes me very angry.

I hope the 3 racists end up with severe prison sentences.

9. Adam Wagner seems like the type of guy you want to have around

He stood up for a person being humiliated and did the right thing. Standing up to three thugs takes courage and I don't think most people could or would do it.
