I remember this. Fuck that guy. Make an example of him. I know the family said they don’t want to ruin his life. Let the prosecutor do it. Bigots have no space in a civilized society.

I thought this guy was a high schooler at most, but a 20 year old college student?

Fuck that. Actions have consequences. He's more than old enough to make his own choices and be held accountable to them.

On the upside at least I guess, now whenever someone googles this guy, this story will come up. So long as HR departments do this, he's fucked.

"they don't want to ruin his life" like the judge who gave Brock the rapist Turner a 6 month sentence for raping a woman because a long prison time could ruin his life.

Would be funny if this guy was found out to be closeted the whole time.

[-] [email protected] 64 points 1 month ago

He's not "anti-lgbt" he's homophobic

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

…however….

He was obviously willing to waive his tallywhacker around in front of a queer person’s security camera…

He’s still homophobic, but once he meets the right guy… ?

Maybe I’m just an optimist. Dude's still a dick.

Sadly, there's a lot of self-hating homophobes out there. I wish they could just be themselves and be happy, rather than feeling the need to hate other people because their fantasy novel or whatever told them to.

Edit: Also, that book says not to judge other people, so they aren't even following it correctly.

My gay friend said he's a DL power bottom high off delusions & insecurity 😅... he'll "come out" soon enough🤣

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Let's be real he's an aggressive bully. In some places you might be able to make the point that he's a terrorist.

Of all the f****** innocent people that walk up to a door and get shot in the face, The first time somebody does something that remotely deserves it...

Those are synonymous. What's your point?

[-] AllHailTheSheep 8 points 1 month ago

connotation matters. anti-LGBTQ sounds like a political stance, homophobic makes it clear there's hatred and a willingness to deprive people of human rights there.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

To be frank, "anti LGBT" sounds more extreme to me than "homophobia." I don't see this as watering down hatred.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

What do you think politics are? A willingness to deprive people of human rights, that's politics. "Human Rights" is politics. I agree that its important to take complex concepts apart and study them so they can be understood, but you have to put them back together, otherwise you can't tell that these gears and belts and levers and pulleys are actually a machine with a function

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Homophobic feeds into the gay panic theory that people who killed gay men were only doing so out of panicing and not hate crime enthusiasm.

I'm not saying don't use it, it really isn't a big deal at all, but correcting people who feel it's a misnomer isn't necessary either.

Is this not the type of action that has put others on the sex offender registry?

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

I guess that depends on the state. Taking a piss in this state is protected as a necessary biological function. Even when committing an act of vandalism. So at most here he would get the vandalism charge. Case in point years ago a Hispanic man who was very drunk entered a typical for the time all white church asking to use the restroom. They were very rude to him so he took a piss right there in the center aisle. He was arrested and charged with several things. One of them being indecent exposure. His lawyer got all of it thrown out using a very old law that states that you can't prevent someone from performing a basic biological act. Its one case where somehow this backward ass state got something right. Probably by accident.

That guy's based, but it's honestly kinda shocking there's nothing stopping you from just intentionally taking a leak in the middle of the floor

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Nothing is stopping anyone from shunning you if you do. Just because you can't be convicted doesn't mean you will skate through with no consequences.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Public urination can if fact make you a registered sex offender.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

The alleged vandalism took place on the night of Thursday, February 8, in the Weinland Park neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. Video from the family’s front door surveillance camera shows the vandal pulling down his pants and urinating on the flag while repeatedly saying, “F**k the gays.” The vandal then extended his middle finger towards the house and hit its front door twice before running away with a male friend who had recorded the crime on his cell phone.

Damn they even got video evidence, how convenient.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

He wants to fuck gays huh?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

It's always projection with these kinds of people.

*shows penis

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

The perpetrator deserves to be punished. I’m not arguing against punishing him. I’m arguing against rewarding him.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Just how small was his penis🤏.. who knew it was even smaller than his brain🧠🫤. They shouldn't concern themselves with "ruining his life" bring back CONSEQUENCES, COUTH, and SHAME. He could have at least been well endowed to lighten the blow 🤣

What are the chance the student is closet gay? Pretty good I'd say.
