The thing people are missing, is they are relating physical threats and attacks with racing shit talk. Two completely different things. The ones saying that iEvo was backed into a corner, threatened, and pretty much forced to act this way are so completely wrong.

Thacker never physically threatened him, Thacker never physically got closer to him or cornered him. The only thing he said was that he fucked up and was way out of line by making fun of Maggie (his girlfriend).

Btstone was out of line by going over and leaning up against the car. Had I known ahead of time what was gonna happen, I probably would have spoken up....but I don't feel it's my place to tell people what they can and can't do. I really didn't feel him going over there was going to cause the situation that ended up ocurring. But I did feel it was "wrong" of him to walk over and start leaning up against someone's property without having their permission. It still doesn't justify that chick's reaction.

I'm not debating who was fully right, or who was fully wrong....OBVIOUSLY there are better ways to deal with this situation than how BOTH parties acted. But the shit talking, the video camera.....it was just words, nothing else. Maybe some humility, but so what? The people who are iEvo's friends would have remained his friends, the people who don't like him would have still not liked him....it wouldn't have made ANY difference. Moving that situation to something physical was not only wrong (just as talking shit to these kids was "wrong" when they asked to be left alone), but it was OVER THE LINE. And it was at that point, and only that point, that things actually turned DANGEROUS.

There's no reason for that, none of that can be justified, it was COMPLETELY unnecessary......period. I find it scary and sad how many people support this kind of action. Has nothing to do with whose side you're on, who your friends are or your "crew".....the real issue is the apparently large group of people who think it's ok to resort to physical violence simply because someone was mouthing off about racing.
