The debate was spur of the moment, thinking on his feet with no time to apply a coating of bullshit to his viewpoints. Here he had time to prepare and cover the nastier parts of his views with the appropriate doublespeak.

The problem is that their own ignorant rot is contagious, and if you let it fester untreated, you have an outbreak.

Nazis gonna nazi... And get upset when you call them nazis.

This is really where I am sitting with the whole thing. He can clarify all he wants, but the fact is he demonstrated a lot of racist ideas. You can try and soften their impact but that is him just talking around what he said. He blatently said black people are more criminal across socioeconomic levels and when…

I am unfamiliar with this guy other than turning his videos off when Youtube thinks I want to see them. My reason is because he looks like a Hobbit cos playing as a douche bag. I’m glad to hear my instincts were accurate.

Jon’s views aren’t based on real statistics, but from Breitbart bullshit. He argued that the most well off black person is still more violent and more likely to commit crimes than the worst off whites. Please don’t let him half-assedly backpedal from such a blatantly racist (and factually incorrect) statement.

Danielle Serini had the gall to send letters

I have to admit that was my first thought. They deserve prison, but thirteen years seems strong.
But also, fuck ‘em. It’s the worst combination of dumb, hateful and scary shit to pull.
13 years is no joke though. They’ll have a long damn time to think about it.

Slight lol at the “It wasn’t me” Shaggy defense

Their entire intent was to create fear, to show this family, even in their own home they are not safe. Even at a child’s bday party. Fuck them. I drink their tears like i do Holtzclaw’s. Cry you sociopathic morons, cry for your inability to get off scott free. At least the system got it barely right this time.

Imagine if this was reversed.

based on the news coverage above, their defense was that they were driving around as part of a fundraiser, they had POC’s in their caravan, and that people in the party approached them.

From another article on CNN:

The reporting on this (obviously not here) in other outlets has made me insane. It says things like “confederate flag couple sentenced to prison time” or whatever, completely ignoring the fact these people terrorized and waived a gun at children at a birthday party!! I’ve seen so many comments like “yes, it’s bad, but…

Wait. That was their defense? That they weren’t the ones who threatened the partygoers? Man, fuck y’all. You rolled up six or seven cars deep into a mostly African-American neighborhood with Confederate flags flying from every single vehicle. You purposely went out looking for a fucking conflict, and when you noticed…

thats because racism has not only been legitimized, its been deemed patriotism.

“I would never ...” = “I didn’t realize there would be consequences for my actions.” Which is why we are seeing an uptick in racist and anti-Semitic acts; people are getting the message that they can get away with it.

Yeah, he was a real boss.

Jordan Horowitz handled that really well. Instead of getting caught up in saying, “What the hell?” to the guys who came out to inform him, he immediately told the “Moonlight” team that they’d won and beckoned them up onto the stage. He must have been disappointed and angry, but obviously his gut reaction was wanting…

I’m guessing (I don’t know the La La Land dudes) that the bald fellow who broke the news over the mic was the above-mentioned Jordan Horowitz?

I’ve never seen him before but I admire how he was serious as a heart attack about this. He wasn’t having any jokes, he was not putting up with any confusion, and he fucking…

That La La Land producer is who we all want to be in that moment. Decisive, understands priorities, gets the proof out there ASAP, and his hand was steady as a fucking rock holding that card up for the cameras to read.
