This took place before his royal Cheetoness had even won a primary. Racist assholes are even more emboldened now.
These gifs should be plastered all over the breitbart, red state, daily caller, etc. forums to remind those anonymous racists that actions have consequences.
That’s mob-psychology 101 right there: de-humanizing, other-ing, running in packs… This is what you do to persuade yourself (or others) that hurting other people is okay.
That’s why a lot of soldiers who fought even in “good” wars on the “right” side, don’t really want to talk about it: at some point those techniques (honed by propaganda and military training) were revealed as lies and they had to face the ugly reality that they were Bad Persons doing Bad Things. These stupid kids just had to face that reckoning and crashed down hard.
I think that’s good, not from a schadenfreude perspective, but rather from a rebirth perspective. In an ideal world, these people would get to use their time in jail rebuilding their worldview, redeveloping themselves around the idea of trying to be a better person. In reality, the Aryan nation or some other bullshit group will likely hug them and persuade them they’re heroes of the struggle and everything will be fine if you stick with them.
Their attorneys pled for lighter sentencing, saying that two other defendants, Thomas Charles Summers and Lacey Paul Henderson II, had pled guilty to terroristic threat and battery charges and received lighter sentences that Norton and Torres were facing. Summers, is serving 4 years in prison and Henderson is serving two.
Yeah, that’s what happens when you go to trial. You sometimes end up with a worse result than if you had pled guilty. That’s why people plead guilty.
I know, I know. I’m supposed to be a liberal and, thus, empathetic to all folks. Tolerant and understanding of everyone. I’m supposed to be a bleeding heart who has a conscience. I’m supposed to care and be able to forgive others.
But no, I’m sorry. I don’t fucking give one rat’s dirty ass about their tears of sorrow, their sadness and their apologies. Their sobs of “this wasn’t me”, as if somehow they were inhabited by a spirit of evil intents that day, but really they are nice folks who are loving and tolerant of all. I don’t find a single place in my heart to care that they’ve ruined their lives and will now spend a few years in jail for what they did. I’m having a hard time not laughing at them in fact, because I know with 100% certainty that if they had not been caught and/or charged, they wouldn’t have shed a single tear about what they did. They wouldn’t have a drop of concern at all, and they’d probably at some point do it again. They are racists pieces of shit who terrorized a family at their birthday party. They took it upon themselves to ruin a child’s special day all because of hate, anger, and a misguided sense of their superiority over others.
I love their tears. I drink their salty sadness milkshakes. And I want more fucktards like this getting caught and punished so I can see their blubbering tears, too. There’s no place for these people in MY world, but unlike them I won’t run around terrorizing their families about it. They’ll get what’s coming to them in time, and I’ll be laughing when they do.
I know there is some psychology thing that escapes me what it is called, but we tend to act differently in groups vs individuals. It’s how you get thousands of men to charge into battle, or how sports game crowds get out of hand. Also how like the prison experiments go off the rails. The self as a group and the self as an individual can be two different people.
Yeah. Yeah, I can’t think of another time when I’ve ever thought to make this request, but can we get that old South Park gif of Cartman licking tears off a tabletop up?
I would think that would make the sun want to burn out faster…that would be bad.
Of course they thought it was okay! A white man is back in the White House and blah blah white race blah blah bullshit.
Mob mentality isn’t an excuse for a being a dick. They felt safer when in the mob and when charged, now they are playing the “televangelist caught with the secretary” card to get forgiveness.
That’s right!! Only the non-white people are dangerous! Any white people who do this are lone wolves and such.
If only we could dump them on an island. Greenland maybe.
That would take some self awareness which I doubt they have.
Waste of bandwidth. It would just feed into their paranoid fantasies of being oppressed.
