Paul Ng questioned a pair of guys recording a YouTube show in Scottsdale. Things spiraled from there.

An Arizona man has been arrested after he accosted two young Black men outside of his mixed-use commercial/residential property over the weekend.

As seen in captured video, the man, Paul Ng, stopped the pair, who were reportedly recording a YouTube show, and inquires what they are photographing. Asking Ng why he is interested in their presence, the young man says, “Do you know a lot of white men are doing racist things in this world, sir?”

Paul Ng questioned a pair of Black men who were reportedly recording a YouTube show in Scottsdale, Arizona and told them they were in “a no [n-word] zone.” He was subsequently arrested.
Ng responds, “I am a racist. I am a racist.”

Paul Ng questioned a pair of Black men who were reportedly recording a YouTube show in Scottsdale, Arizona and told them they were in “a no [n-word] zone.” He was subsequently arrested.
Ng responds, “I am a racist. I am a racist.”

“Okay, that’s fine. So what’s your point? Why are you here?” the young man asks.

“Because this is a no [n-word] zone,” Ng replies.

The young man paraphrases the statement, saying that it can’t be a “no [n-word] zone” because “I’m here.”

He tells Ng to step back; neither man is wearing a face-covering amid the coronavirus pandemic, and Ng mentions that they should be “six feet.”

The young man says that he feels threatened and tells Ng that if he touches him or his friend, that he is “going to lay his bitch-ass down.”

Ultimately, the young man who identifies himself as “a famous YouTuber” shows the business where Ng is using a leaf blower, saying that it was his establishment. According to the Phoenix New Times, that business clarified that Ng lives in an apartment upstairs and is not associated with the store.

The young man, LilAJDre, shared the video on his IG TV channel and YouTube page, and it has racked up hundreds of thousands of views. It was also shared by activist Shaun King, whose massive following helped the incident rack up over a million views.

Ng was arrested with disorderly conduct by Scottsdale Police.

The man was previously an independent contractor with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, a luxury real estate firm. They issued a statement that said Ng had been fired and his license severed.

The company also said they plan to donate some of Ng’s previous commissions to charity.

NB4 anyone gets on a high Free Speech horse-- if you walk up to someone and start saying crazy, aggressive shit, your conduct is indeed disorderly. It would have been justified to arrest him had he started the encounter with "this is a no Xenu realm."

No it wouldn't have. Nor is it illegal for them to say if you lay a hand on me, I'll knock you down. He wasn't threatening them. And they were only threatening him if he did something that would be illegal to do. You're allowed to state your intention of defending yourself if attacked. Neither of them should have been arrested. Ng is obviously an asshole who is going to pay the penalty for being publicly known as an asshole nobody will want to associate with in the future, though. If your business is selling luxury property (hard to believe you are that successful if you are living above a bait shop or whatever the fuck that place is), you should probably comport yourself with a bit more dignity. The clientele don't like aggressive weirdos.

But he did nothing illegal. "Disorderly conduct" is the bullshit charge they throw at you when they have no real reason to arrest you but think you're a dick.

Did you see the video? Because, sure I can see your point if the Asian dude started screaming and waving his arms around like a nutbar, but he was actually pretty quiet and soft spoken, while the other guy seemed a lot angrier and more aggressive even before Ng used the racial slur.

Ng started out being a prick, the other guy responded angrily to him being a prick, neither of them threw hands, the cops should butt out and only stepped in because their phones were being blown up by angry Internet idiots. This is the kind of shit that happens every day and cops don't arrest anyone for it unless they personally witness it, tell the participants to knock it off, and they keep it up.

Why? Even in the US this person could be found guilty since his speech could amount to fighting words

"Fighting words" in the Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire sense barely exist. The doctrine also only applies to the United States First Amendment. And it doesn't mean they're automatically illegal, just that they may be not protected by the Constitution. What is more important is the language of the Arizona disorderly conduct statute itself. Specifically:

A. A person commits disorderly conduct if, with intent to disturb the peace or quiet of a neighborhood, family or person, or with knowledge of doing so, such person:

1. Engages in fighting, violent or seriously disruptive behavior; or

2. Makes unreasonable noise; or

3. Uses abusive or offensive language or gestures to any person present in a manner likely to provoke immediate physical retaliation by such person; or

4. Makes any protracted commotion, utterance or display with the intent to prevent the transaction of the business of a lawful meeting, gathering or procession; or

5. Refuses to obey a lawful order to disperse issued to maintain public safety in dangerous proximity to a fire, a hazard or any other emergency; or

6. Recklessly handles, displays or discharges a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument.

B. Disorderly conduct under subsection A, paragraph 6 is a class 6 felony. Disorderly conduct under subsection A, paragraph 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 is a class 1 misdemeanor.

A.R.S. § 13-2904

I'm going to assume, since it isn't specified and is the only applicable part of the statute, that he's being charged on the basis that he used "abusive or offensive language or gestures to any person present in a manner likely to provoke immediate physical retaliation by such person." One is generally presumed to be capable of controlling one's actions to the point of not instantly assaulting someone upon being addressed with a slur.

Here's at least one case with the use of "nigger" being considered a violation of the statute:

I won't go into it much, but it didn't involve just that. He also threw a soda can at one of them, and repeatedly shouted the racial slurs, particularly, yelling "fuck you, you goddamn nigger." This is the kind of conduct much more likely to lead to an imminent breach of the peace than merely uttering the word. There aren't any magic words proscribed by law. So the conduct here would have to be judged under the totality of the circumstances, not because Ng simply uttered a single magic word.

This behavior would not have led to a breach of the peace by a reasonable person, and in fact, it did not in this case. I don't think it should sustain a conviction.

I always appreciate your legal takes on here. It brings a bit of reason to threads like this.

I should note I don't think the police were excessively wrong in arresting him although I don't like someone being arrested purely because of public outrage. The call is close enough I think there's probable cause. I'd just rather not see political arrests like this.

Never EVER interact with a black person holding up a smartphone, and calmly try to leave the general area if they pull one out. 100% guaranteed they are either trying to goad you into doing something "racist" so you get your life ruined by the woke mob, or worse, they're about to violently assault you and upload it to youtube/insta for the other ghetto trash to hoot and holler over.

American culture is centered around niggers. They have holidays for niggers. They killed hundreds of thousands of white men to free niggers. They listen to nigger music. They elect a nigger as their president. They dress and act like niggers. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from niggers. They post sassy gifs about niggers. They watch sportsball in worship of niggers. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of niggers playing sports. They use nigger slang like "bruh" and "thot". When you say "Martin Luther" they're not thinking of the father of protestantism. They're thinking of the nigger. Their cities are completely overrun with niggers. They worship their ZOGbot police force disproportionately filled with niggers and their global police force of soldiers filled with niggers. Their men sit around watching nigger ball while their women sit around watching nigger talk shows. They worship niggers like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and the late Mike Tyson while attacking the whites who actually built their country before niggers took over. Their movies are filled with niggers and their music charts are topped by niggers. They send niggers to the Olympics and celebrate when the niggers win because those niggers are true red blooded american niggers. They watch nigger porn to a point where "BBC" does not make them think of an international media company but about nigger penises instead. They will tell you how much they hate niggers and how the mutt's law meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love niggers but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of nigger loving niggers.
