Nothing to do with gas station only with driver. So sad but…shit happens…!
We known tow truck company will steal and middle est people are helping them. Yes look you Spanish run chopshops all around you and chopshops car lot's don't believe come to duluth and Norcross ga and every where you can fake 30 day tags ever where and Spanish running around with high price trucks and cars and van's even older cars and truck's just to make it look good.
Obviously the individual taking the TEN DOLLARS was not the owner of the station who knew that he could not have a paid parking area without a LICENSE in the city and the Owner had the van towed and if you watch the video the driver of the tow truck was defending himself from obvious assault by the individual grabbing his arm and when you're a tow truck driver in the city it's not uncommon for people to try and assault Tow truck drivers that are towing vehicles.
Shut the gas station down because of an idiot tow truck driver? She made 0 sense ,,,
There is absolutely no excuse for that tow driver. None.
R.I.P. Sir. 😢
Why Hit Him ?
Ashamed
0:49 it makes perfect sense if you don’t think about it
That tow truck driver wouldve had to give me that fade…
He feels sorry for all of his family members when it's his store and him who phoned the police to get the guy killed maybe people should boycott this gas station
NYC is such a shit hole
Those people again.
…That tow truck driver ruined his life to be a tough guy.
I am a New Yorker and these ridiculous people are the reason why NY sucks. They want the gas station shut down, the owner arrested, they stopped the business from operating. These people need to go get jobs and grow up.
Why do you guys interview and post stupid people? There are plenty of decent people who feel the pain. Why post the stupid ones?
Guy was parked there and shouldn’t have. Tow truck was called to move it.
Gas station owner isn’t responsible for some crazy tow truck driver.
That is truly heartbreaking. People need to stop being so harsh to one another.
Tow company probably acted on their own I’ve seen that in Va.
#TND
Zoolanders. Don't mess with people doing their job or attack someone you don't know .
I drove tow trucks for over 40 years and I've been in fights numerous times but I would never hit someone unless I was attacked and NEVER an elderly person. The driver should be facing murder charges. Its easier to calm down the situation than fight to make money in what I call predatory towing
That was uncalled for. No reason to attack the man.
In the video you can clearly see the owner of the van peacefully sitting across the street while his house is being towed away.
Usual suspects ranting and raving instead of working with the law to sort out what actually happened. Revenge and reparations always come before reason and the law!
tow truck driver already out on bail with coffee and sandwich money ? or are they going to start keeping felons behind bars again? you know that whole let's keep violent offenders off the streets thing. or play politics and say it's racist to imprison felons.
Some ignorant old man attacks someone doing their job. And we are supposed to feel bad for them. Yalls community needs some serious introspective. Stop attacking people and beating your loved ones cause they arent doing what you want them to.
While it's horrible that this man lost his life the tower didn't intentionally kill him. As for the people who want the store shut down and the tower prosecuted for murder, don't you think it's ironic? The people at the vigil are up in arms and yet black on black crime happens far more often than any other race. We rarely see the black community publicly outraged when violent crimes are committed against one another. Y'all need to work on yourselves.
A well liked man who was like a family member who had an extensive criminal record with multiple felony offenses. I also heard on another report that he DIDN'T pay the $10 fee and that is why the tow truck was called we'll see…
The least worst person in all this…?
The tow truck driver!
According to her logic of "this gas station shouldn't exist if people are dying here" means there should be no black people and no hood.. Because blacks are the one's killing other blacks.. Not the gas station. I agree with her.
Well, when you run up on somebody, pull open their truck door, and scream like a badass, you get what you get. Don't try to be a badass.
Angry Idiot escalated and got punched only after trying to jump in the guys cab. He ducked around, He found out. Stop making excuses
Should be shut down? How about we shut down all black areas because of black on black crime but we dont talk about that huh😂😂😂😂😂
That's messed up. Did the diver physically touch or provoke the assault?
These MAGICAL usual suspects are making Wakanda great again.
It takes a real coward to punch skinny senior citizen.
Looks like he punched the tow driver first.
This is sad
I don't think we're getting the full story here. There's definitely some people lying. Also, who goes to a gas station 5 or 6 times a day?
At night dude is wearing dark glasses also he so dark hard to see face. Give respect to get respect he paid the price wanna be gangster now his families are there sue whoever they can you can tell by their education they’ll probably on food stamps now. They think they Hit the lottery 😮
Looks like the guy who got punched tried to reach for him first. Don't start a fight you can't finish.
Youtube is censorship
Bragg will imprison the victims family
Biden illegal running from the law
That could be considered strong arm robbery and murder. As a tow truck driver, you have to give the person a chance to pay to get their car off the truck, a fee that is usually half of the fee that would be assessed if you have to get the vehicle from a tow lot. Tow truck drivers often are very unprofessional and unpleasant when it comes to handling things like this
