Jesus Christ. Where the *beep* are some of you people brought up from? They deserved to die? I picture some of you idiots in high school with 3 kids thinking how Eminem should be President of the United States.
shareI don't think O'Dog was paying attention. Like you guys didn't. The owner said, "I feel sorry for your mother." Meaning that he feels bad that a mother has a child like him. All he heard in his rage was, "your mother." The insult was directed at him, not his mother. Not that I feel that understanding that the comment was directed at him would have made him less angry, might have because people are touchy about references to their mother.
On another note , considering the comments about them being in the store before and the fact that they are neighborhood kids. I feel that the store owners did know their character and did not just treat every black folk that entered the store, that way. It was kinda like, not these troublemakers again. "I feel sorry for their mother."
It could have gone either way, not enough information to know if they just knew these kids were trouble by past experience or word of mouth or if they treated all blacks this way. Either way, definately not justified in killing. I guess other people on here are looking at it from a standpoint of getting fed up with them coming in the store and getting treated like crap, maybe not having a choice of going anywhere else. That may be the only store. I can't relate to being fed up but that never justifies violence.
what do people think about grocers selling beer to 2 teenagers?
shareMost people on here are correct. The Koreans did not deserve to die nor was the violence justified.
HOWEVER, the Koreans were wrong for racial profiling the customers. It's obvious that they have surveillance in the store, so if Caine and O-dog stole something, they would of had it on tape and could have reported them to the feds. We can clearly see later on in the movie of how good a look the camera had on O-dog. Secondly the Koreans were very rude to their customers, rushing them out of their store, telling to them to buy and then leave. I'm also aware that Caine and O-dog shouldn't have started drinking the Beer before they paid, but in the grand scheme of things it isn't so bad because Caine had every intention of paying. And finally, what no one on this board noticed is that the store clerk DID NOT GIVE CAINE HIS CHANGE BACK. O-dog had to ask him to give his friend his change back. Isn't that technically stealing? While I don't condone what O-dog did at all, I think the Koreans were very wrong, and perhaps the ones who probably started the whole thing for their behavior toward their customers. Business Etiquitte: Treat your customers with respect. I can't believe some people on this board are saying the KOREANS are completely innocent.
Now O-dog completely over reacted. Yes it was an insult to him, but that doesn't in any way give him any right to take a life away. I think O-dog personally should have just been rude back to the store clerk. I don't condone disrespect in anyway in most cases, but I don't think the Koreans should have said what they said or acted the way that they did.
