People passing by also seem to wait and look at the scene unfolding in front of them. The white man keeps on throwing bags of garbage at the person holding the camera while obstructing oncoming traffic. According to a report by the Atlanta Black Star, the incident took place on Canal Street.
A source who watched the incident unfold told the publication the same. The white man doesn’t stop there. The viral TikTok video shows him walking onto the sidewalk and throwing a bag of trash at another black man who’s passing by.
I bet the white man walks away with no assult charges.
