New Jersey man in viral racist video sobs when handed 8 year prison sentence





New Jersey man Edward Mathews who screamed racial slurs at his black neighbors is jailed for EIGHT YEARS after shocking video of his abusive rant went viral: Felon sobbed as he apologized for terrorizing victims

Edward Mathews, 47, was sentenced to eight years in prison on Friday to four counts of bias intimidation and a drug charge

Mathews, who is white, went viral after he was caught on camera in July 2021 racially abusing his black neighbor

It later emerged that he terrorized black neighbors: called them 'monkeys,' put feces on their property, sent threatening emails, and shot BB pellets at their cars

When one of these clowns pulls one of his deeds, seems there is no MAGA support protest.

The loudmouth asshole wept?

Yeah, he wept because he got caught and had to pay for his behavior. He was not weeping because he was being a d**k to those people. He was weeping because he was being held accountable. And, anyone like him should be held accountable.

Sadly, too many people like this guy are not held accountable. Because they have support in high places. It seems being decent is not a high priority to these types. I suspect it never was.

Many assholes like this guy were inhibited from expressing or acting on their worst impulses before Hair Twitler became president as the embodiment of their pent up rage.

and a highly publicized case.

No matter what protection the prison gives him, anyone can be reached inside.
