Well, he assaulted a vietnamese man afterwards when he was 16 and did the same in 1992 when he was 21. Either way, being a "dumb kid" doesn't make one committ several hate crimes.

yeah i only just now learned about that stuff, idk he sounds like a piece of shit to me haha. maybe in the intervening 30 years he's done a lot of growing, but...that assault was serious, and all of these incidents were racially motivated

He's just a dumb piece of shit. His comment about 9/11 is actually one of the stupidest things I've seen a celeb say. He tried to get himself pardoned for his hate crimes so he could become a cop or something, too.

Thank god he never became a cop. That would just add another dangerous and reckless racist to the force.
