    Here we have the unstoppable force of “no one should ever be treated that way” meeting the immovable object of “lol fuckin turd deserves exactly what he gets”

      On the one hand, yeah, this is a horrible thing to say to someone

      On the other, if anyone ever reminded you of Stephen from Django Unchained… This guy’s a pretty good candidate.

    A source with direct knowledge of the situation noted that Baxter was technically working for AFP as a contractor, and said AFP was not in fact his direct employer.

    Here we go. “Justice” will be elusive, time consuming, and ultimately unfulfilling.

    I hope he wakes up and realizes what kind of people he’s been supporting, and doesn’t just shrug it off as an isolated problem with this one particular organization. I won’t hold my breath.

    Maybe just don’t vote for the party that wants to take the country back to the 1850s.

    Tip: They most likely called him the N-word while he was out canvassing for them. Rascist are like that.

    Yes that’s unsurprising and yes he’s probably a bad person, but also I feel the need to say that’s a really shitty thing to do to him. Even shitty people deserve to not be targeted by racist remarks.

      Kind of but let’s say:

      Someone offered you to fight a bear for $5k.

      He assures you the bear is safe.

      People around you tell you it’s not, and don’t be an idiot.

      Is it your fault if you chose to take the con man’s offer and fight the bear or the con man’s fault?

      I started thinking about this after the titanic submarine disaster. Like, how is that not like a Darwin Award?

        The difference is that racists are not bears. They’re people behaving poorly. I think this is better compared to a thief getting robbed by his partner in crime. Is he a fool? Yes. Is he a bad person? Yes. Can I blame his partner in crime for this? Also yes. In both cases it’s an idiot and a bad person walking into a position that another person behaved poorly towards them.
