Well, that’s how Steve Bannon might see it. [http://www.cbs46.com/story/34456039/2-convicted-for-racially-charged-threats-against-black-people-at-party](http://www.cbs46.com/story/34456039/2-convicted-for-racially-charged-threats-against-black-people-at-party) In reality, a bunch of redneck racists decided to crash the birthday party of an eight year old black girl with Confederate flags, hillbilly trucks, racial epithets, and shotguns. Oh yeah, and threats of murder against parents and children. Now two of them have been convicted and are going to prison for a long time. Adios, you no-count motherfuckers. I hope you rot in hell. ---

I hope you rot in hell. The news last night showed footage of the female perp at trial, apologizing through tears and saying “that wasn’t me,” which I took to mean that it was an impulsive thing and not representative of her real self. But it wasn’t just a brief mean blurting of an epithet borne out of some confluence of frustration; the incident went on for an extended period, and involved the pointing of guns and the issuing of threats. She may claim it wasn’t her, but it seems very clearly like it was her. Now she and her companion get a nice long time-out to think about what they did. Seems just. ---

“That wasn’t me! That isn’t who I am!” No, bitch, that is _ **EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE** _. But I’ll spot you a fraction of that reaction based simply on your terror and denial at the idea that you’re going to prison for your shit. Fucking right wing terrorists. That’s who you are. ---

You don’t have the right to threaten to kill someone while pointing a gun at them for no good reason. ---
