White man goes on racist tirade because neighbors were playing Latin music

The video doesn’t show his face at first.
The cellphone camera points downward as an angry white man (Larry Lappin) is heard scolding his Latino neighbors at their front door for playing music in Spanish. Eventually, the camera is raised and the man’s animated face heard yelling that nobody should “disrespect my f***ing country” and “you want to do that on the Fourth of July … throw it in my face?”

Ivette Celedon of Petaluma told KPIX 5 she shot the cellphone video Wednesday after her backyard neighbor showed up complaining about the music her family was playing as they waited for the city-sponsored fireworks show.
“My father-in-law has a speaker out back and it wasn’t that loud, especially not over their loud music that they have a July 4th party every year,” Celedon said. “And we have never complained about them.”

In a phone interview on July 5th, Larry Lappin told KPIX 5 he is sorry.
“I made a huge mistake,” Lappin said. “I had been drinking too much and a little thing set me off and it really bugged me.
Sometimes I wish they would assimilate more. I hear them playing [Spanish language] music in the backyard all the time ... Because of the day and what July 4th means to me, I felt disrespected. I’m a very patriotic man,” said Lappin. [the music] hit me the wrong way.”

1. Larry Lappin needs to apologize for being a waste of space.

2. Clearly a Trumpanzee asshole

Celedon said she is a 3rd-generation American citizen of Mexican descent who has a family member who has served in the U.S. military. Her husband is a 2nd-generation American citizen.

In the video, the neighbor, identified as Larry Lappin, appears to threaten the family: “This is the 4th of July. Just wait, m**** f****.”

3. He obviously prefers Russian music

4. He made a mistake...

by accidentally showing the world what a despicable small minded racist he is. Does anyone else see him as inching closer and closer to "look what they made me do" in his interview?

[dalton99a]

5. Yep. He's still blaming them: "Sometimes I wish they would assimilate more."

10. He should meet them halfway.

9. His Italian neighbors ought to

sit outside his house and play opera, loudly.

If I was there, I could come up with some Scandinavian and German folk music.

Is your culture that weak, bro? Your country? Your standing in society?

14. White guy's "apology" was not an apology.

It was an excuse. He needs to try again.
