Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A toxic white male suffered a major meltdown in the middle of the street after someone threw water on him when he allegedly shouted homophobic and racist slurs at them.
Video shows the unnamed man, soaking wet and red in the face, yelling outside of what appears to be a gay bar in downtown Sioux Falls in the middle of the day. It’s unclear what led up to the outburst or who doused him in water, but it clearly set him off.
According to witness Andrea Lynn, who uploaded the video to Facebook this week, “Sorry for the horrible language but this happening in Sioux Falls right now. Driving by calling everyone outside fa****s and n*****s. Got a bucket of water thrown on him and said he was assaulted. Let’s do better SF.”
“How much violence over freedom of speech will you allow!?” the man can be heard raging in the video while pointing at a Black man who he had purportedly just called the N-word. “How much violence will you allow?!”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The man proceeds to call the people outside the bar “disgusting,” a “mob,” “fascists,” and “assholes,” among other insults. He also repeatedly accuses them of being “violent” when they are literally just sitting calmly at their tables.
“What violence are we doing?” a woman politely asks. To which to man responds by shrieking, “You’ve been SO VIOLENT!”
Eventually, he calls 911 (of course!) to report that he is being “assaulted.”

Police arrived at the scene shortly thereafter, but they did not arrest the man, citing “free speech.”
“What he’s doing really falls under free speech, so there’s really no laws that are broken,” police spokesman Sam Clemens tells The Argus Leader.
The Argus Leader reports:
Clemens said the man was likely trying to incite a reaction from people, but said it’s best to ignore people who make comments like that or report it to police. “There’s probably not a whole lot of things we can do in a situation like that, but sometimes having officers come and talk to people is enough to maybe persuade them to go somewhere else,” Clemens said. Police did not release the man’s name because he was not arrested. Officers have come into contact with the man before about similar issues, Clemens said.
So far, the video, uploaded Monday, has received over 80K views, over 700 shares, and nearly 600 comments.

The cops should have done their job. He was disturbing the peace at the least.

At least they could have moved them on as they do ALL the time.

this nitwit is the definition of white privilege
if a Black person had said and done the same things, the police would’ve handled it quite differently and we’d be reading the Black person’s obituary right now
MISTERJETT
yep, i was thinking the exact same thing.
richardNobbs
I’m not sure if they would have killed them but they certainly would have made the leave the location.

Love to slug him hard. But that would feed the beast. Sad.

I’m guessing the cops don’t just suggest ignoring the problem when the mayor calls them to remove an unhinged aggressive man who’s interrupting their lunch.
richardNobbs
Yea, they said nothing could do, and if you run into this sort of thing again call them. Why? They won’t do anything. I say don’t engage, film him post it to social media, and watch what happens.

Look, when you consider the pandemic, the economy and social unrest, people are stressed to the breaking point. We’ve got nutcases coming out of the woodwork right now. The situation is bad enough. Please don’t make things worse by making nutjobs symbols of “white privilege” — or making looters symbols of “black criminality.” Warping public perception and fomenting rage and fear is not helping anyone.

There’s no reason to make looters symbols of black criminality, because plenty of looters (and arsonists) have been white and Latino, including white provacateurs infiltrating peaceful protests. Pinning all the looting on black people would warp perception because it’s a racist lie.
Conversely, the Karens and Kevins who are too entitled and fragile to handle the pandemic, economy, and social unrest without screaming racial slurs in public, calling the police for no reason, and having mask meltdowns are almost uniformly middle-aged and older white people. So yes, they are symbols of white privilege, and no, we’re not going to warp perception by letting them off the hook to make white people less embarrassed.

I can’t for the life of me understand why some people were getting so close and confrontational with the guy, he was liable to explode at any minute. Of-course the police didn’t arrest him, the guy is white FFS!
