Even the people in my area wouldn't make those kinds of hateful, violent, racist, dangerous remarks — and I've heard a lot. No freaking kidding with the "he got off lucky" posts.

I'm not saying racists should be coddled but I've seen so many teens, and he is a teen, change drastically with the right guidance. This kid is clearly troubled and attacking him will do nothing to help with that, in my experience.

Guidance is meaningless, his mother condones his behaviour.

It's over, this kid isn't gonna change for the better.

EDIT: Actually, my bad. Reading the OP again, the lady that referred to her son, was actually the friend of the bandana flag kid.

He's possibly troubled, in that any teen could have troubles.

I totally support the guy throwing the drink, but the guy was on the clock, and that never ends well. I hope he finds gainful employment quickly.

You still don't know what those words mean.

My point is that soda is a lot less pain ful than a gun shot.

You are just yelling buzz words and expecting reinforcement.

I honestly have no idea what you are even talking about at this point. Again, I'm not expecting anything? If you don't agree with me that we shouldn't give a single shit about this kid getting soda in his face then say that and we can talk about it, I guess?

Did you think I meant that being shot and getting soda thrown at you are comparable in terms of damage? Wtf. Either you seriously misunderstood my initial post or I'm just incredibly confused about what you are saying. Whatever. Point is; fuck this kid and I hope he gets every soda in the universe thrown in his face for the rest of his life at the very least.

First: I don't give a shit if this kid is troubled. So are the minorities being exposed to his bullshit and hatred and I have infinitely more sympathy for them than for this piece of shit kid.

Second: Maybe getting a soda thrown in his face is exactly the type of guidance this moron needs. If these people think talking about murdering people because of the color of their skin is acceptable they need to learn that there are severe consequences to that shit real quick before something much worse than soda happens to them. These people are so far up their nazi asses at this point that they've completely lost touch with real life where people have a limit for how much bullshit they're willing to put up with. Tough shit.

Sounds like white 16-year old boys continuing to be the single most dangerous force on the planet

A little soda in the face is as likely to change him as anything else. If he can't change for the better then hopefully he keeps that racist shit to himself now.

I saw it immediately after the tweet was pretty new, someone joked that those guys are probably the kind of white dudes who use the N word on twitter.
And bam it was.

Unfortunately many people will only read the initial news of "getting harassed for a hat", and never see supplemental story of "oh but he was being racist".

Douchebag got what he deserved, if people stayed quiet they would have continued trolling other places. At least now they'll think twice before doing this shit again.

Ultimately, outward public rejection of these people is probably the best way to deal with them. They really only value power for the sake of having power, and when their power is challenged or shown to be meaningless, it's terrifying to them.

Also it's hilarious to see these people complaining about liberals being oversensitive snowflakes, and then turn around and throw a big tantrum about civility when someone throws some cold liquid in a stupid kid's face.

It reminds me of Lame Duck Emperor Obama. Too weak to respect, too dangerous to let live in peace.

Are fans of repetition?

Patriotism = Racism

Looks like you have trouble making a distinction between Patriotism and Nationalism.

Also, UltimateHigh point me where I wrote that you said anything about alt-right.
Patriotism can have elements of racism, and can often be the doorstep to nationalism and fascism, manipulating the deep love some may have for a country into something incredibly twisted. We've seen it many times throughout history. We're seeing it even now with MAGA hats and Trump.

This, coupled with that viral video of that black woman cussing out that Confederate Flag hoodie-wearing teen that called her a nigger, proves to me that most of these racist kids are a bunch of pussies

Kids gotta learn at sometime that actions have consequences

The only fight I ever got in over being called a slur as a teenager ended as soon as I backhanded him. He just looked absolutely shocked and shut up.

Fighting back is all these people understand. They can't believe they will face consequences and are terrified when they do.

I don't give a shit about the piece of shit kid, but...

It would be better if the employee hadn't thrown the soda. In the world we live in victims are held to a higher standard of conduct than bigots. I know that's not fair, but fair is irrelevant - this is about results orientation. If we want a better country we can't trip over every asshole with a red hat. Trump people are having a victory celebration every time a black person so much as flinches.

That said I don't blame him for doing it one bit and there's a very large part of me that would have preferred to see the kid black and blue instead of just wet.

If he was sure he would've gotten fired for it, he should've thrown a lot more at them; some actual food or cold oil or shit to really fuck up their clothes and hair. He squandered his opportunity. Fuck racists.

*shrugs* Growing up in Texas, patriotism is often very shitty to people. People talk about "respecting the flag" and standing up for it right now because of all that has happened recently, but that's been a go to thing for ages now. A way to force someone into doing the pledge of allegiance even if it was against their belief system or kneeling in peaceful protest. I mean, America is incredibly jingoistic that we renamed french fries to freedom fries because of something with France back in the early 2000's.

I'm surprised more of you don't recognize our resident racists. They're not shy about it especially since they know they don't have to worry about bans as long as they don't swear or insult other posters directly

Yeah the term can be misused for sure. People who step over the line between patriotism and nationalism, but don't care admitting it.
