whymeoAll_Over_RSthe prospect of an angry anonymous internet mob of 'justice' ruining someones' and their family's/friends' lives =/= consequences for being a racist asshole.
If you really think someone's life is going to be ruined for being a racist prick in the United States you're living in a different world than I am.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
ok think about what u just said
here are a few scenarios

A. The person's family sees racist remarks, disowns the man and he has no family anymore.
B. The person's friends sees racist remarks, don't want to be around him anymore.
C. The person's employer sees racist remarks, fires him.
D. The person's college/university sees racist remarks, revokes admission.

These are all completely possible scenarios that could happen if being a closeted racist over the internet was found out in real life and published and be the first result anyone sees when they google that person's name. What the fuck do you mean someone's life wouldn't be ruined for being known as a racist prick??

1. If they found his personal information in less than a day, anybody could have found his personal information in less than a day. His views were already associated publicly with his information, so there is no exposing of secrets in any way. This is not coercion or blackmail, this is a shitty person being made to realise he was being a shitty person in public and that his information was already associated with him for anybody curious enough to look.

2. https://twitter.com/KFILE/status/882575268564656129 He's a middle aged man.

3. Looking into someone's history isn't an uncommon journalistic practice. Trying to get direct quotations isn't an uncommon journalistic practice.

4. It's ironic to hear that fervent Trump supporters hate when "retards post their diarrhea and refuse to read anything posted and revel in the glory of ignorance" tbh.

everything you've attempted to add to this conversation has been 100% completely stupid and pointless so I don't really think you have much ground to stand on in that regard.

catfaceif that's what u think ur truly farther gone than i thought, good night. 100th post seems like a good place to end this spergfest

all you've posted is misleading/false information, retard attacks on cnn/defenses of the guy who made the gif, and demonstrations of how little you understand both journalism and the law. like, i understand you want to fellate a pumpkin, but u need to maybe step back and examine why you lack basic critical reading/thinking abilities before you try to argue with people smarter & better informed than u.

catfaceprove how anything i posted is false and misleading with 100% proof like i showed you. ur just proving u have no idea what ur talking about because i literally just took a screenshot of the law and posted it, so i guess that's just misunderstanding it o_O

the fact that you think that law is applicable demonstrates a misunderstanding of it. i explained that & you ignored it because you're not smart. it's been previously addressed how pretty much everything you've said is false or misleading, so i don't really need to get into that.

how retarded are you lmfao
and it only gets me a bit flustered because you choose not to look at any of the information and just assume ur right even when shown proof.

Post advocating genocide: http://imgur.com/a/6HdTm

Also, Catface, at the end of the day, the only idiot is the one who resorts to name-calling (i.e. "libtard"). I hope your approach to handling disagreement in life isn't doing that

no one has mentioned this yet and not that it at all justifies anything he said, more or less playing devils advocate, but the subreddit where his racist posts were made was ImGoingToHellForThis and the entire premise of the subreddit is to post very dark humor. personally to me it makes what he said hold a little less water but regardless, stupid is as stupid does, and the entire situation is ridiculous on both sides, but context matters.

sure but the guys posts are obviously hideously racist and unhinged, just saying afterwards "oh its just a joke" isn't really going to get you anywhere when this is based on hundreds of comments made over the course of months or years with a clear, consistent message.

the fact that the guy immediately apologized and deleted everything upon realizing that someone knew who he was makes it pretty fucking obvious that he realized what he was saying wasn't ok.

nitethe fact that the guy immediately apologized and deleted everything upon realizing that someone knew who he was makes it pretty fucking obvious that he realized what he was saying wasn't ok.

you could look at this one of two ways though. one being hes just trying to save face and its a very hollow apology or the other being hes actually feels remorse and needed something this big to realize that he needs to stop being an awful human and the apology is meaningful. i'd say time will tell but this stuff usually blows over rather quickly (say what you want about that). like most people i dont think the dude should be crucified for it but he does deserve what has happened.

If all the guy had done was post that president meme, it would have been a short article with the guy explaining why he created it and what his views on the whole controversy about Trump retweeting it. I can't speak for everyone, but I don't think people cared that much that gif was created, people cared that the president used it. CNN was well within their right to write a piece on that, and they were well within their journalistic right to use his real name. It's not their fault he had a bunch of racist, pro-genocide shit in his comment account too, and it's not their fault that he freaked out about that stuff being associated with him.
