‘Shut up, n****r!’: CA man goes on racist tirade when he’s caught throwing dog into the street

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/13/shut-up-ngger-ca-man-goes-on-racist-tirade-when-hes-caught-throwing-dog-into-the-street/

Lindsey Cooks told KTLA that he was waiting at a bus station in Lancaster on Saturday when he saw 54-year-old Robert Emmett Martin abusing the puppy, and decided to record the crime with his cellphone.

Video shows a shirtless Martin yanking the dog into the air, and swinging it by its leash before he is confronted by Cooks. Martin begins yelling racial slurs at Cooks, and then picks up the dog, and slams it hard into the pavement....

“I’m a human being, you know,” Cooks explained. “And I couldn’t see even a human being being treated like that, especially a dog can’t defend itself, a little dog. So, I had to do something.”

“I had asked him to stop to, ‘Hey, man, stop doing the dog like that,’ and all he could say was ‘Shut up, n*gger,’” Cooks recalled, adding that only a “racist pig” would act that way.

And it makes me sick.

Throwbacks like that we can do without.

I've got a real low tolerance for someone who would abuse a helpless creature. Or person for that matter. Being a racist jerk only adds to the fire.
