      While race certainly played a part with the reaction to Kaepernick, that doesn’t mean this guy got a free pass for being white. Conservatives would have defended someone of any race who spouted misogynist word vomit.

          They defend him because they like the idea of shooting liberal protesters in the street. “Murderer” is not a mark of shame to them.

            I do love how they defend him in part by saying he killed a convicted sex offender as if he could have possibly known that and as if that were his (or anyone’s) job to do.

            That’s because for Conservatives you’re allowed to take lives to protect property. You are not allowed to damage property to protect lives.

            Really shows where their values are.

        You are not wrong, but I think you are missing the point a bit. What everyone in the thread is saying is that he got no pushback from conservatives. And instead they are defending him like they are in a cult lol. So the fact that normal people like us do attack him, like he deserves, is beyond the point of the conversation.

        I’m assuming you are just confused here lol, maybe you are trolling to derail the conversation. That’s why people are downvoting you, sadly a lot of people who argue in bad faith sound like you.

        “attacked”=people online expressing (strong) disagreement with his words. Poor thing, how will he ever recover with his millions of dollars and sheltered life! Get back to me when he’s run out of the NFL for his words.
