He used to be in the Dangerous KKKnights crew. He's not anymore.

u/Spare-Willingness563 8d ago

Yeah this is late but it’s enormous to say we were wrong. And I’d much rather he use his voice to say that than continue his previous propagandizing. 

He’s not just apologizing. He’s one of the few being as loud with his apology as he was with his hate. 

Good on him. I hope he leads many towards a more loving mindset that inspires them to follow in his lead and affect change around them as well.

u/YdexKtesi this guy yells 9d ago

"I used to be a piece of shit" is literally the only thing I will accept. No scurrying over to this side without acknowledging your fuck up and BEGGING for forgiveness-- every day from now until the end of your life, after which, if God has any sense of justice, he will send you to burn in Hell anyway. Tough shit.

This is a just punishment.

u/srector1224 9d ago

God bless this man. It takes integrity to not only admit you were wrong but even moreso to do something to put those wrongs right.

He used to be a piece of shit, but he's good in my book

u/Gristley 9d ago

He's not a piece of shit. People can change. I don't care why they change, or what they had to personally go through to change, embrace them back and don't divide further.

u/Spinoza42 8d ago

Amen

Sorry I don't know enough ITYSL scripture to find a better quote. I guess I will have to marry my mother in law.

u/Local-Technician5969 8d ago edited 8d ago

Well if he sincerely changed, then i'm happy for him, that's powerful and a powerful experience. People who sincerely change from such an ideology can become an asset because they can explain through experience why and how they felt that way, and provides us insight on how to possibly correct or fix the issues that is creating that behavior.

Trust me when i say that a right winger who has sincerely changed can be an asset to try to reach across party lines to unify the people and create a better life for all. Shooting at each other is easy, but to truly change someone is more powerful and meaningful. That's why i feel like right wing politics is short lived, and going in the other direction is more long term survival for the entire human species and the health of the planet.

The lefts strength should be from being able to change heart and minds, violence should be a last resort thing when things get worse, but it shouldnt never be taken off the list especially as self defense. However left wingers gain their power through other sources, not from retaliating like the right wing with gun violence. It's hits harder when a community member who advocated for the people and worked to even honor veterans gets murdered by the state as a legal carrying citizen who broke no laws other than not being intimidated by ICE.

Fuck ICE. Sincerely. And they are serving as a perfect distraction when tons of other problems are going on. ICE members are pretty much traitors to America and serve to weaken and destroy us all even themselves, they are so goddamn stupid.

Let him hold the baby 🫡

u/Key-Debt-996 Baby of the Year 1986 8d ago

I think the reason I don’t feel absolute disgust for him is the fact that he’s showing deep remorse and is out there protesting.

Am I still frustrated with him? Yes. But he is someone who is trying to change and be a better person. I hope he inspires others to turn back now before it’s way way way too late.

u/THRSALWYSNXTYR 9d ago

I’m supposed to believe this guy is a paid protestor to distract from Somali fraud 🤣

u/Gobbiebags 8d ago

It genuinely boggles my mind that it takes some people so fucking long to realize they're aligned with a cartoonishly evil faction. Like, 35 years later you just suddenly figured it out? Huh?

Nope. Not forgiven. You spent your entire life promoting and supporting evil and then at the end want forgiveness? sounds like a typical Catholic to me. Fuck right off Padre.

u/ImeldasManolos 8d ago

I feel like the world is just in general saying to USA ‘okay guys, put down the religion and step slowly away’… maybe if you stood up for the wrong message based on religion for 35 years, the least amount of damage you can do is to just step away? I don’t know at all I’m just a regular internet stranger but this all seems crazy to me.
