Remember when a victim of Nazi violence politely asked Quinn Norton to consider not minimizing their violence and she got defensive and claimed the survivor came at her? I do.pic.twitter.com/x7CeDYjb6k

Where was it in that exchange? @EmilyGorcenski
you declared empathy in abundance so where was it from @quinnnorton when @EmilyGorcenski needed it?
You know I respect you, Lauri, but it's not unreasonable to ask someone to not poke fun at a trauma, let alone one that ended with a friend suffering permanent brain damage.
Nothing I said was "provocative." I simply pointed out that what may on the surface seem funny was perhaps not; I pointed out the same to other journalists as well. Joy Reid and Kurt Eichenwald were two others and I was far less gentle.
There is also the matter of her defense of someone who appears on the radio show of someone I'm involved in legal matters with and advocates for outright mass murder of Jewish children. I am not out of bounds to call that out. I am very in bounds to call that out, actually.
I think an objective observer can see the 'peaceful' tiki torches were meant to evoke a lynch mob and send a message of rhetorical terror, may have been within their legal rights but dishonestly minimizing it is contemptible
It stopped being within their legal rights when they beat the fuck out of a bunch of unarmed people with them and nearly killed someone.
Honest question, survivor of what?
see other replies to tweet.
What is she a survivor of?
She knocked down a man who was grabbing her in front of a bunch of bystanders. That's good.
But that incident in her life is not a reason to forgive her arrogance and harsh attitude toward you.
The lack of empathy I've observed in many folks in her elitist little world still takes my breath away on a regular basis, in spite of several years of exposure. I'm so sorry all of this happened to you. I admire your compassion, and I'm gonna try to cultivate more of my own.
Thank you for posting this exchange. I don't know how you stayed so restrained.
