Life hack: Keep an airpod in your ear and just gesture to it if you meet anyone you don't want to socialize with.

As a friend of mine once advised me: Start a conversation with the guy walking next to you...even when there's no one walking next to you.

How is this CNN homepage from last night not racist? Can you even imagine if they inserted any other color or ethnicity here?

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Inal, and I know defamation cases against the press are extremely difficult to win in the US, but anyone calling him a white supremacist or vigilante has to be worried about getting sued, no?

In law reverse racism is generally not considered racism (or reverse sexism etc.)


Also, hilarious how they try to portray him as an “angry White man” while he looks like a 12 year old in that picture.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

You don't consider him a vigilante?

No. The prosecution specifically tried to tie him to a group (the primary definition of vigilante) and failed. He was proven, on many videos, to be out there "protecting" (essentially a deterant), offering first aid, and extinguishing fires. He didn't try arrest anyone or use any force whatsoever to enforce any laws on his own. He used force in self defense and gave himself up to law enforcement.

IANAL either, but I would think that vigilante is a fairly generic adjective, and would be difficult to win a defamation lawsuit objecting to the usage. Tying him to a specific group or accusing him of a specific act which is objectively true or not true would seem to be a more risky proposition, but I can't imagine him getting a judgement for not being happy with the terminology used to describe him.


Definition of vigilante
: a member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily (as when the processes of law are viewed as inadequate)
broadly : a self-appointed doer of justice
