Hows this. I blindfold everyone who has contributed to this thread and sit them all in a room that was totally dark.
I then asked each one to count to 10.
Would you feel confident that, as each person spoke, you could identify their race, religion, sexual orientation and political leaning?
I think its time we addressed the elephant in the room, don't you?

Is it a coincidence that in states where MJ is legal we hear less about events like this?
Am I wrong?

It's not okay to threaten people's lives, I'm glad this guy got arrested but why isn't Nathan Ener in jail too?
From about the 4 minute mark. ETA: Warning, foul language.

There is emotional payoff in abstract hate. That's why Fascism is prospering world wide. It's just too easy to control the masses with abstract fear and hate.
Takes their mind from the pillaging and mass murder by corporations. It's too easy.

So, hes pissed about racism... and turns to racism?
Does anyone else see the paradoxical nature of his perspective or is it just me?

We all know its a thing called "White Privilege" which denotes some very obvious and less obvious passive advantages that white persons may not recognize they have, for example being able to incite violence and get away with it. The guy clearly has cultural affirmations of his one's own worth over others; presumed greater social status; and freedom to move, buy, work, play, and speak freely even at the detrement of others. The effects of his privilege can be seen in his rant which shows he isnt professional as he intends to break the law, he lacks education, and has made doing his job a personal vendetta. Of course he feels its fine to do as I say yet not as I do.
