2:59Now Playing"It's not like it's okay to go around dropping the word "faggot," but if you're going to be spreading hate speech, you should probably get a read on your crowd first.
In this viral video, which was posted to the hip-hop/shock video site World Star Hip Hop on Oct. 16, a man at an Atlanta Waffle House gets into an altercation after using the homophobic slur on a group of patrons.
A woman won't stand for it and goes after the man verbally, but things escalate quickly, and a fight breaks out. The man who made the homophobic remark is smacked to the ground, then beaten by three men.
Members of the crowd appear to support the action taken. One man in the background applauds the beating, while other people can be heard cheering."* Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola (Host, TYT University) and Kim Horcher (Host, GeekSpeak) break down the video-- is it okay to hit someone for a homophobic remark?
