“bias intimidation”?

So i guess large swathes of the black community will now be arrested when they harass white people that venture into predominately black parts of the cities.... right?

[bk1000]

He was not sentenced to jail for insulting a negro. There was basically assault (spitting, chest bump) and possession of drugs. It also sounds like some of the neighbors are snowflakes. If it in fact comes to the point that one can be jailed for insulting someone then it’s over.

[sten]

free speech is gone.

on the flip side, any of those hippies calling police ‘po-po’ or ‘pigs’ can not be arrested and tossed in jail for 8+ years.

A little more to it:

"Following a more thorough investigation, prosecutors found that multiple complaints had been filed with Mount Laurel police about Mathews over five years before his arrest."

"Authorities also revealed Mathews frequently called his black neighbors “monkeys,” put feces on their property, sent threatening emails and letters, and shot their cars with BB pellets before his arrest."

[JesusIsLord]

After reading the NY Post link, the man did more than hurl racial insults. He also spit on his neighbor, put feces on his neighbor’s lawn and shot cars with BB guns. I have no problem with him being sentenced but the 4 years sentence is too long - IMHO. What I’d really like to know is why he spent the last two and a half years locked up in jail? Was he in jail waiting for trial? If so, he should sue the AG who put him in prison for being denied a speedy trial.

[Fresh Wind]

Superior Court Judge Gerard H. Breland made the ruling on Friday after a tearful Mathews spent the last two and a half years locked up in jail.

He was in jail for 2-1/2 years before he was tried? I thought only Jan. 6 political prisoners got that sort of treatment.

New Jersey does not permit nor allow free speech.

The Black under class must be protected

[SharpRightTurn]

Speech crime. Another drift toward totalitarianism.

First Amendment Activity?

[norwaypinesavage]

Moral or the story: If you want to spew racial insults (and you’re white), make sure you don’t anything that’s illegal at the same time.

[Gay State Conservative]

Racial slurs? Disturbing the peace. Spitting? Simple assault. The spitting charge may warrant some jail time...perhaps more than a few months if he has any kind of noteworthy history of assaults.

Eight years? Well,we can be sure that The Big Guy's puppet masters in Beijing would certainly approve of the sentence.

[thegagline]

Prosecutor “Hutchinson also cited Mathews’ extensive criminal record — 11 felony convictions since 1995. A drug conviction barred him from possessing weapons, she said. Authorities found a slingshot and 30 rounds of ball-bearing ammunition and hallucinogenic mushrooms when they searched his condo.”

[Round Earther]

Edward Cagney Mathews is just another malfunctioning convicted felon who cannot handle life in a free society and did all he could to return to the comfort of the state prison culture.

[MeanWestTexan]

But calling for genocide of Jews is just fine in NJ.

All that aadi, as foul as this is, it’s free speech. If he wants to act like a douche, that’s his right and problem. Shouldn’t be a crime.

[nuconvert]

VERY misleading headline

[jeffc]

The Deep State does not like dissenters or those who deviate from their will. 1984-type stuff.

All those videos on X and other places of non-whites ranting away and the Deep State looks the other way.

[FLT-bird]

The sentence for drugs with intent to distribute is reasonable. Any claim of “bias intimidation” is pure BS and an obvious first amendment violation. The first amendment includes the right to be insulting and offense.

You have no right to not be offended.

Wrongspeech is properly punished.

You “hurl racial slurs” and you get free room and board from the taxpayers for many moons. Kill somebody and you get an apology and probation. America has gone back asswards.
