Why am I not sold on this? To many times we have heard this from people making claims and not being real

[@ThePoisonMist]

Cops just said they have audio recordings. Why is everyone in these comments so quick to dismiss it?

[@Horton13]

Several instances, people following you but absolutely zero proof?… I call BS

[@ThePoisonMist]

Oops the cops just said they have audio recordings.

[@Frankthetank-et7wo]

There must be some footage from a street facing camera of the trucks driving by. It is 2024, there are cameras everywhere.

Are we expected to believe this?

Are we expected to believe American society isn't infested with video game playing incel trash who are being radicalized by the alt-right to hate and commit atrocities because they can't get laid? Are we expected to believe the U.S. military shouldn't be using these rejects and their hate mongering groomers for target practice?

Lots of racists in the comments. Shocker!

No more skepticism. We have seen these stories before and usually lies

All the cell phone out there and no video .That would be good proof to catch the guys.How is that there is no video.

Even if this was true, that's not a crime. Is it rude? Sure. Will it get you banned on social media? Yes. But is it against the law? No. The first amendment includes speech that is offensive.

[@andrem.thomas332]

Sounds about white

[@Clankillas]

You’re a fool. Hate crimes is called as such because it is a crime! It’s called Haycraft. It is against the law just because you have first amendment does not mean that they’re not consequences. Everyone has the right of the first amendment, but it is not to impose on other peoples amendment rights Being targeted and I hate crime. The keyword is "crime" in the phrase ‘Hate crime.’ It’s racist people like you as to why racism still continues because you think it’s harmless when a whole race of people were victims of it in a country that claims it was a democracy for all of its people. Keep in mind that it’s only been 65 years ago when blacks were not able to go to same schools, eat at same restaurants, use same bathrooms, boat, or drink from same water fountains as white people. That’s just one generation ago. It may seem harmless to you because your people were not subjected to environment of hate. But that’s what people like you fear the most, the idea that it will when they happen to you for what your ancestors did to others.

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

And I'm sure your first reaction to a car load of black guys shouting 'skinny white b**ch' at your daughters wouldn't immediately cause you to come here and post 'Second Amendment' comments advocating for shooting them. But, you know...selective rights and all that
