How is pouring a solvent on a child not assault?
âYour honor, while I was asking the children to return to their reservation, I slipped and spilled my beer on them.â ??
This whole thing is horseshit. If someone attacked a group of Mill Valley, CA students at a sporting event I am pretty sure itâd go down a lot differently.
Wondering if the judge is elected, because somebody is not thinking about the children.
What if he canât pay the fine and ends up jailed for contempt? Heads around here will explode⌠heâs an oppressor! No, wait, heâs the oppressed!
How much of a fine do you think would be issued if someone âaccidentallyâ spilled a can of whoop-ass on this guy?
Heâs neither, heâs just an ass.
Can they open a civil case against him? Does the fine indicate âguiltyâ?
I donât think children are soluble, except maybe in DMSO.
How is this not Hatecrime?
âby force or by threat of force, injure, intimidate, or interfere with anyone who is engaged in six specified protected activities, by reason of their race, color, religion, or national origin.â
Yeah, thatâs a felony, innit?
Pretty sure almost any really strong base or acid would work quite nicely.
Looks like it, as one of the âprotected activitiesâ is âpatronizing a public place/facilityâ and the language states:
âThe modern era of hate-crime legislation began in 1968 with the passage of federal statute, 18 U.S. 245â
and
âThe Civil Rights Act of 1968 also enacted 18 U.S.C. § 245(b)(2), which permits federal prosecutionâ
So how the fuck do the police get to decide itâs âdisorderly conductâ and a judge that âboys will be boysâ?
âI wonât consider jail time.â
Fucks.
Canât we reserve calls for jail time (and the associate public expenses) for cases where actual injuries happened? Where did proportionality go? When did calls for jail for weed were changed to calls for jail for insults?
Beware of rhetorics. Even the purest water counts as a solvent. Called this way, it sounds quite like being doused in gasoline, a match strike away from conflagration.
Bases are somewhat better here. Boiling in concentrated lye can do wonders.
Yeah, I went back to reread thinking Iâd missed the container of acetone or something. Guyâs a massive asshat, but he didnât physically endanger anyone. I do hope the fine is painful and his name is well-publicized.
Yeah, we live in a time when a single drunken mistake can follow you foreverâŚ
I doubt itâll be a Justine Sacco moment, the mainstream press hasnât noticed. And he does live in a city where lots of people probably agree with his rant, so itâll be considered just that, a drunken rant that he paid a fine for. But he deserves some temporary pariah-ness.
You mean the guy who was a guest in the corporate box owned by:
Eagle Sales of the Black Hills

If a âsingle drunken mistakeâ you make involves you making racist assaults against children, you should probably not get drunk, it should probably follow you forever, and everyone should know so as to not trust you with⌠well, ANYTHING, if you have a tendency to get drunk and attack kids.
Seriously, how far are you going to allow âsimple drunken mistakesâ to go? Sometimes, there should be consequences for your actions, and I think getting drunk and making a racist assault against children qualifies as an action that deserves consequences.
