Guys, c'mon. Can we stop sniping at each other? Just to get it out there, Colin's tweet is problematic because the Steinle case has been used by Trump and the right wing as an inflammatory wedge against Latinos and to try to get the Wall built. By bringing up San Francisco "(and Oakland)" and the specter of rioting, he equates what happened to Steinle to what happened when minorities are murdered by police, even though what happened to Steinle was an isolated incident and police brutality is a systemic, national issue. It essentially trivializes the very valid grievances that minorities have, whereas there haven't been a rash of undocumented immigrants assaulting and murdering people left and right. It also misrepresents the case itself because the bullet ricocheted, which implies that it was manslaughter at best and not murder in "cold blood". Maybe it was just an accident, or maybe the the facts of the case simply did not support a conclusion of murder. Colin never seems to consider these options.
To bring this back to EZA, businesses drop sponsorship and stop working with problematic individuals all the time because eventually, by working or sponsoring them, your business/brand essentially becomes an endorser for that person/those views. People are reacting to the fact that Jones went on Colin's podcast, and then right after Colin posts this inflammatory tweet.
