Witness Questions Claims of Racially Motivated Attack on Black Man by White Biker Gang Over Unpaid Tab

A shocking viral video depicting a group of white men assaulting a Black patron at Pike's Pub in Fort Wayne, Indiana, has ignited widespread indignation and prompted a swift justification from the bar's owner, Kelly Rost. Although Rost, who was absent during the altercation, claims the violence ensued over an unpaid tab, a witness refutes this assertion. According to the eyewitness, the victim was cut off from drinks by Rost’s intoxicated boyfriend, who then escalated the situation. The witness, fearing retaliation from the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, emphasized the victim's intention to settle his tab, denying any wrongdoing. The Allen County Sheriff’s Department has launched an investigation, now involving detectives as public pressure mounts for accountability. A community petition advocating for enforcement measures against the pub has garnered nearly 6,000 signatures, highlighting systemic issues of racial violence.
