UPDATED: 07.26.2026 — Scott takes nine paragraphs of hemming and hawing, to finally admit… Hinderaker has lied — about the applicable state of the “fighting words” case law. Scott agrees that this instance was… a (misdemeanor) hate crime. Something John cannot bring himself to say. But it is the truth. End update.
But.. most tellingly, in his diatribe this morning — Hinderaker entirely re-wrote his concluding paragraph. I had the misfortune of waking to see the orignally-published version — but he took down the worst of it, and replaced it with a more… erh, vanilla statement.
Even so, he blathers on, for several paragraphs to defend a whyte woman who (on video!) falsely accused a little Somali-American boy of stealing from her bag — and then called both the boy, and the camera-person filming her race-hate… the n-word. Repeatedly.
She is now likely on the hook for hate-crime monetary damages — and may spend a few days in a county lock-up, or may not.
The jury has reached the verdict of:
NOT GUILTY on the first count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct, which is the interaction with the child.
GUILTY on the on the second count for the interaction with the videographer.
Shiloh Hendrix (the perp) will also receive supervised probation, will serve 200 hours of community work service, and is also ordered to pay a $1,000 fine.
[John’s original final paragraph claimed that jails would be overflowing — if this wasn’t all overturned on appeal — essentially admitting that many, many younger whytes in Minnesota still harbor invidious racial animus. What a dumb ass.]
John fails to mention that now in America (according to almost all US courts), those are “fighting words” — and thus are entitled to no First Amendment “expressive” protection. The fact that rappers might still say it among themselves bears no relevance here (as indicated by all the court holdings: the use among friends is obviously different, than the attack by a stranger, here) — but Hinderaker burps that canard up as well. Because he thinks it means… something.
His need to claim some form of moral and intellectual superiority — for his faux-whyte culture here… is both sad — and telling:
He is a bitter, mediocre old whyte coot — that Twenty-First Century US history has now left behind, festering — on a dung-heap. [Just like Bill Otis. And Paul Mirengoff.]
Out.
