      1. I want to clearly address my open & public identification and shaming of brutal white supremacists & bigots. I publicly shame men for their public actions. They earned the scorn. They've each caused tremendous pain & intended to do so without consequence. I reject that.

      8. So no, @juliaioffe - I don't have any reservations for the consequences these men have suffered as a result of their own public bigotry and violence. The system does not hold them accountable. Not at all. They went unchecked until we stepped in. I have no reservations.

      9. This notion that we've done Aaron wrong, that he "doesn't seem like a very nice person," but that he should suffer no consequences for his public bigotry, threats, and violence is about the whitest thing I've read in my entire life. It's absurd.https://twitter.com/juliaioffe/status/997277752008028160 …

      Aaron Schlossberg doesn’t seem like a very nice person, but does that merit harassing him in the street, kicking him out of his work space, having people trying to revoke his legal license? Imagine this happening to someone you agree with and see how you feel.

      10. In the United States you have freedom of speech. That means you can be a public bigot without getting arrested for it. That's all it means. It also means you can be kicked out of your office for it. Or have mariachi bands play at your home.https://twitter.com/juliaioffe/status/997277752008028160 …

      11. It's apparently easy for people who don't suffer public bigotry to say how much kinder & gentler those who do suffer it should be treating the men & women who victimize them. They must be held accountable. Lack of accountability got us here.https://twitter.com/juliaioffe/status/997277752008028160 …

          12. I spend about 30 hours a week behind the scenes identifying public bigots, assessing threats across the country, advising organizations & people on what this means for them. By in large the entire law enforcement community has left us to do this work all on our own.

          13. Anyway, it is my hope that bigots in America are coming to understand that they can choose to harass or attack people, but millions of us will make sure they are known for it for the rest of their lives. That's your choice. Try it and see what happens. //End of Thread

          Yeah, when people in my circle said Trump’s election meant it was time for healing and kindness, my immediate thought was that must be an easy impulse for someone who has never suffered prejudice or oppression. And then I became determined to call out bigots and unfairness more

          Sometimes it is better to have cockroaches scurry when the light is shined, than to be emboldened to spread their beliefs without fear of reprisals. Free speech has consequences, as it should.

          Being a nice person is a choice. Imagine having all those things and more happen to you for something you have zero control over. Now imagine that happening to every generation you give birth to for the next few hundred years and see how you feel. 🤔

          Hi Twitter world, I hear you. I even agree with you and always have on this: racism is indefensible. I’m sorry that I came across as defending Aaron Schlossberg. That wasn’t my intent, because I do not and never have defended his actions. I apologize.

          I was stunned by her tweet. Day after day we see incidents of people like that atty (I won't name him) acting with impunity while we are stopped & harassed simply for living our lives. I categorically REJECT her sentiment. She can kick rocks. Keep doing what you are doing, Shaun.

          Accountability is one thing, Shaun. Harassment is exactly the kind of behavior you're trying to prevent. Don't meet bad behavior with bad behavior.
