I do not trust Charles' judgment on a matter like this one.
I saw it - it was definitely questionable.
BUT they don't know, clearly, do they??
By your own reporting: They have an Idea --which is to say, they have a strong suspicion, but have not been able to confirm it yet-- but they do not know.
So, that's really just a rhetorical trick employed here to get a click-bait headline.
Weak.
Too bad Slog couldn't ever post a strongly critical article about Omari Tahir-Garrett where they would explicitly call him a racist after having video evidence of several interactions where he was racist to other minority groups.
or maybe, you could have an explicitly multi-ethnic giant head puppet gang, like the gang that beat nick cage up at the end of wild at heart.
I appreciate your opinion but I would like to see the photo myself.
That is exactly what would happen if their name got out. There is a big difference between someone who makes a bone headed mistake and a dyed in the wool "let's murder us some minorities" racist.
We as a country have proven, quite consistently, that we are incapable of exercising restraint when dealing with people we believe have done wrong.
Giving over the puppeteer to the mob would be wrong. Period.
the issue is the bright red lips - a common feature of pre-war pickaninny imagery. unless he like, made the puppet do racist stuff...
Photo in Slog post doesn't show enough except to want more information
So, maybe let them confirm the person's identity, so that there is no doubt, before unleashing a wave of social shame? Seems like they are making sure the innocent don't get caught in the crossfire. Due diligence and all... Right, journalists?
I guess the potential upside of the left sinking to the depths historically reserved for the right is that actual rational thinkers from both sides will be forced to band together.
For the record, I'm not particularly fond of the mob in any of its manifestations. I'm well on my way to believing that we need to shut down all social media so we can go back to the day when people weren't able to arrange their own small gotterdamerung by making a single stupid headed tweet.

Agreed. The actual puppeteer's sin might have just been that they weren't aggressive enough in their anti-racism to tell whomever assigned them the puppet that it was awful, racist, and they won't use it.
