BLM rally crashed by man in a gorilla mask handing out bananas

I immediately laughed, man. Not even going to watch the video if there is one.

Ahhh...my Alma Mater...The more things change, the more they stay the same, I suppose.

That's racist and messed up












































I'm ashamed that the title alone made me laugh

According to Clemson, Harambe references

I feel bad for laughing

He's now been charged with civil rights intimidation, which can be a class D felony or class A misdemeanor

meh. I doubt that charge sticks. I hope he's not a senior though. And this guy is definitely not thinking about his long term career.

while I hate everything about BLM, they'd have been pretty justified if they'd whipped his arse.

---

Indeed. That warrants an arse kicking, on principle.

For the record, though, I'd laugh abut a stooge in a gorilla mask showing up ANYwhere and hiding out bananas for any reason

Seems kind of bullshite IMO. If you want to go out in a gorilla mask and hand out bananas you should be allowed to (of course taking the risk of getting your arse kicked)

quote:

---

Wearing a mask with intent to injure, threaten, or coerce another is an A misdemeanor.

---

I think he has a solid argument that handing out bananas isn't injuring, threatening or coercing

quote:

---

I didn't watch the video but I'm assuming he didn't threaten anyone or destroy anything. Charge is bogus and he should counter with malicious prosecution if Tennessee allows it. It's not illegal to be a racist prick.

The full story adds more context. The "rally" appeared to be just a handful of folks standing around with signs. No blocking traffic or getting free stuff from a Wal-Mart. Oddly for a BLM rally, it looked like an actual, legitimate, legal expression of free speech.

Gorilla-boy shows up and isn't legitimately counter-protesting in a similar fashion. He appears to be actually engaging the BLM people and trying to hand them bananas.

You can make a pretty strong argument that he's attempting to intimidate. At any rate, it was an a-hole move (albeit one that made me laugh out loud) that could have caused trouble where there would have otherwise been none.
