In New York or California the swan would have been charged with a hate crime.

Thank god someone stopped him, these poor animals I’m glad he didn’t get any of the eggs.

In the man's defense the swan did yell the "N" word

[ecduzitgood]

How does this fit into the critical race theory being taught in schools?

[nevamarina]

[eveskey]

[stevehickey]

I guess they've tired of beating helpless, elderly Asian women.

If he wanted some eggs he should have bought some on publix cross the street

[jimkelly]

Wow, now they're picking on the swans. Maybe it was an Asian swan? Pathetic

[briananderson]

It’s a good way for that guy to perpetuate stereotypes by attacking something much smaller than him

Reminds me of the idiots that used to wait for me to tie off my dog when I went into a neighborhood store. They would then use their long sleeves to swing at her.
So having know idea they were doing this I go to the store like ever morning. My dog starts barking like crazy. The lady at store looked at her camera. I also want to add she loved my dog gave her treats and loving any chance she got.
So anyway Sadie bust the leash after they whipped at her a few times. They looked to be getting closer, like they were brave because she was tied.
Well when the leash broke they like jumped out of their skin. When I came out the store Sadie had 2 of the punks on someone's car roof. Telling me they was going to shoot me and kill Sadie. Anyway that punk is doing life for 2 of 7 murders. You can look him up in Baltimore city westport area his name was Antonio "Mack" Hall
Same type of punk sorry for the long story

Times are tough. He thought it was a goose and he was looking for golden eggs.

[TheSolowShow]

He was about to fly around the hood on that bird like he was the Black Aladdin.

[alana]

Pls. Call animal control for this man to put in the cage.

[snooker]

Does Orlando not have enough old people to attack? Leave the swan alone.

[DeDub]

TF is wrong with these animals, that dude I mean

[markmiddaugh]

Maybe he's not smart enough to know that's a bird.
