Another day, another white man spitting in a black man’s face for doing absolutely nothing.
Ibrahim Mission, black, was working security on Tuesday for a social justice gathering in Detroit.
Robert Stanzler, some racist white guy and owner of Detroit Mercantile Co., which is next door to the gathering, was mad that some of the participants in the gathering were parking on his property.
Even though some of the people were literally already starting to go back into their cars and move them, Stanzler still wanted to let all of these black folks know that he was the head racist on campus here.
In fact, Stanzler went out of his way to bring up his parking issues with Mission, stuck up his middle finger at him, and then spat directly into Ibrahim Mission’s face.
Fortunately for Stanzler’s sake, Mission didn’t feel like catching a case that day.
Mission and the rest of the organizers simply called the Police, and Stanzler was arrested and charged with assault.
So, Stanzler tried to issue this so-called “apology” below:
I want to express my deepest apology to Mr. Ibrahim Mission, for the incident that occurred on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 during the course of an argument I had with him over parking spaces at my place of business in Eastern Market…
anger over a growing conflict pertaining to parking spaces between a neighboring business, got the best of me. I attempted to address the matter with Mr. Mission, but things quickly escalated and I lashed out. My behavior was unconscionable, offensive and disrespectful.
However, the part that’s not adding up about Stanzler’s apology and side of the story is that his spitting incident took place at 10:45am. Thus, the event that Mission was working hadn’t even started yet.
Furthermore, Mission and Stanzler personally know each other, as Mission works security for that area in Detroit quite often.
So, it just kind of sounds like only “one side” was escalating and lashing out here, as opposed to the way Stanzler characterized the spitting events with “things” escalating and lashing out…
