Video Surfaces Of White Pizza Manager in Pittsburgh Viciously Beating a Black Woman



Video footage surfaced yesterday on Facebook of a black woman being viciously beaten in a Pittsburgh Pizza Milan by a white male manager. The woman is pinned up agains the wall, violently head butted, thrown down where she has her head slammed onto the ground repeatedly. .
-------------------------
The assault was obviously racially motivated. As Damon Young writes:

Of course, some people will look at this video and see that the manager was merely trying to contain a customer who was belligerent and might have been intoxicated and question why this is a “race” thing. These people are dumb.

But if you are one of these dumb people, imagine for a minute if this was a woman who looked like Tomi Lahren. (Or any other white woman you wish to imagine.) Do you think the manager would have treated her with the same level of ferocity and venom?

It is assault. No way you can claim self defense. He should have called the cops. He had no right to Demsrule86 Jan 2018 #1

He's going to have to be real creative to come up with a story on that one.

Man charged in assault at Pittsburgh's Pizza Milano caught on video

The woman went to the hospital Friday night several hours after the video was recorded, according to police.

Zone 2 police detectives announced Saturday night that they made an arrest in connection with the altercation. Mahmut Yilmaz, 41, of Pittsburgh turned himself in to police and faces one count of simple assault and one aggravated assault charge.

Pittsburgh resident Bria Scott posted the video on her Facebook page Friday evening, where it had received more than 400,000 views by Saturday evening.

She did not record the video and was not at the restaurant when the assault happened, she said. She copied the original video from a friend, who has since deleted it, she said.
