I would like to point out, there was video security footage of the incident, a witness who saw it happen and an admission of guilt to authorities by the perpetrator.

It won't stop people from denying it ever happened, but I thought I would point that out.

Thank you for this. There have been a couple instances of made up hate crimes, recently, that have jaded me into overzealous skepticism, which was my attitude when opening this post's comments. Luckily you were on top to prove me wrong before I even got a chance to read the article.

Thank you. "Incredible accusations/conclusions require incredible evidence." This man should most certainly lose his drop and face an assault charge.

      You're doing the same thing to the gun rights supporters that the right does to pro choice people when they go find some lunatic that's doing abortions because they're fun. George Zimmerman was a jackass and 99% of gun owners would be in agreement on that. Are there wack job racists out there that support him? Of course. But they're not representative of the majority. He has the right to carry a gun, he was irresponsible in his use of it even if there wasn't enough evidence to convict him.

      " George Zimmerman was a jackass and 99% of gun owners would be in agreement on that."

      No. Dude, where do you live, a dorm room in Berkeley? You need to meet some gun people sometime. They love Zimmerman. Try Bretibart.com, for reference.

      [–]starrynight451 [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

      As a gun owner, you are 100% right. I think he was a moron, a retard, and a criminal. But I am definitely in minority.

      [–]vault-techno [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

      I own a firearm and live in an exceptionally racist area. Some people view Zimmerman as a hero. Others such as myself think he is a piece of shit. Some of his supporters own guns. Some don't. That is an awfully broad brush you are painting with.

      [–]Shopworn_Soul [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

      See I don't necessarily hate Zimmerman for the event that made him famous. I mean, I think he made a series of incredibly questionable decisions that led to a very bad situation that probably shouldn't have existed in the first place, but I digress.

      I hate Zimmerman for literally every single thing he's done publicly since that event.

      In light of our President-Elect refusing a question from CNN because they're "fake news" and then immediately taking a question from Breitbart though, I feel like their viewpoints are going to become increasingly mainstream in the next few years

            And that's true; but you also can't deny the influence of Trump on his actions. The question is whether it's a fair representation and consequence of trump's rhetoric and actions (it is), or whether this is just a mentally Ill or criminal man interpreting things according to his whims.

            This isn't someone thinking that Helter Skelter is telling them to kill people - this is an action peformed by Trump, excused but the republicans, and no barrier to the presidency.

            This guy's mistake is that he isn't trump - ruling class/establishment guys can get away with this stuff, but they have to be high up the pyramid, at least if it attracts national attention.

            [–]BartWellingtonson [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

            I don't think that's spin, I think you just detailed the truth of the situation.

            Unless this sparks a huge wave of GOP pussy grabbers, I think it's safe to say this is an isolated incident that doesn't indicate the trajectory of the nation as a whole.

                      I read this to see if it was just sensationalism, but the guy legitimately did all of that stuff. "Playful joke,"? I mean, maybe between a man and a woman in a relationship or something, but preceded by, "I no longer have to be politically correct," it doesn't really feel like the intent was to be funny.

                      "Von Keyserling playfully gave a lady who he knew for 30 years a pinch"

                      If they were such good friends for so long and it was such a "playful pinch", as it's being called, then why did it sexual assault charges get filed? Oh, wait, none of that is true. It's the "oh, you're over reacting, what you think is assault is just playful banter with a staffer, her charges are just her being mistaken, there's nothing to see here, move along" twist of the gaslighting knife that gets you.

                      The original article has even more fun playfulness. Man, I wish I could have so much fun at work!

                      In fact, knowing someone for 30 years does not make grabbing their genitals without consent any less of a crime. And, according to police, the woman's story is backed up by video footage.

                      I think what pisses me off the most is that we've created a society where politicians and celebrities think that all they have to do is make a public apology to get off the hook.

                      Actually, scratch that. What pisses me off the most is that 60-80% of the time, they're right. Ugh...

                              I was part of a d&d stream, so you always see a steady stream of insults and inappropriate comments especially towards the female members of the group. One time we warned one person to behave or be banned from the chat. His defense was that he just wasn't being PC. I'm sorry, but there's a major difference between not being PC and being an asshole.

                              This guy is an asshole, but that doesn't excuse Cultural Marxism for the cancer that it is.

                                        sadly, its not stupidity. its more sinister than that. people like this man have always been bigots. now they just feel like they dont have to hide it. Showing their true colors. People like this are a sickness in humanity.

                                        No, it's stupidity. I always wanted to punch Jerry Falwell in the face. I didn't, but not because I didn't want to. I did want to. I just knew that there would be consequences. This guy is so stupid that he actually believed there wouldn't be consequences for sexual assault.

                                        But there's more to it than just the consequences you face; not considering or caring about the effect your actions have on others because of the group they belong to is just bigotry and plain arsehole-ery.

                                        Very much stupidity. Not understanding that anti-PC =/= sexual assault is just daft. People don't seem to understand that things don't have to be taken to extremes - you can oppose excessive PC-ness without resorting to crime and anarchy, just as you can support some degree of PC-ness without pushing for censorship.

                                        I would take it further than that, even: suppressing the urge to sexually assault coworkers is not political correctness in any form, it's basic human civility and decency.

                                                    I checked a bunch of published stories about it. Unsurprisingly the local Greenwich paper is the only one that basically takes his side with choice wording. Bet he's got some friends in town after doing what he's done since '85. Regardless of 'where his hand was,' he's definitely a POS. Seems to be how this stuff works now.

                                                              The arrest warrant alleged von Keyserling responded to the woman's comment that it's "a new world politically" by telling her "I love this new world, I no longer have to be politically correct."

                                                              The conversation descended into name-calling, and von Keyserling followed the woman into her office where he allegedly reached between her legs and "pinched her groin area".

                                                              It's unfortunate to think that stuff like this has already taken place.

I doubt many people would admit to it but they are effectively saying yes, without the bible they wouldn't think twice about raping and pillaging everyone around them apparently

                                                              It's also true that while Republicans are still yet to fully embrace womens rights even after all these decades, it doesn't make them all sex offenders.

                                                              Vilifying those who disagree with us doesn't make the world a better place or improve society. Vilifying individuals who assault, discriminate and treat other people as less than human are perfectly acceptable to vilify because they are the problem.

                                                              You obviously didn't read what I said. The dude was over the top and just spouting his opinion, nothing backed by fact. But if you were to ask anyone in this country "what religious beliefs do you think most Republicans have" most people would respond with Christianity. My comment was in response to someone asking how christians came into the conversation, and I was explaining the reason.

                                                              You don't need to be all high and mighty and act like people are justifying some sort of bullshit, or that there's some discrimination going on here for political views, or religious views. Anyone who actually read the conversation knows that it was nowhere near that.

                                                              Please, read the full context before stepping on the soap box.

                                                              Religion had nothing to do with anything in this situation, politics at least has some relevance. And yes most Republicans would identify as Christians, but so would a (smaller) majority of Democrats.

The only part of it that shares any context with what actually happened is the part where being PC was what was holding him back from sexual assault. I see nothing to suggest that all republicans or Christians hold this view.

He said that he and the woman have “that kind” of a relationship.

By winning, he has sent the clear signal that his sort of juvenile, racist, sexist behavior wins elections. You can expect to see more of it in the coming years.
