This afternoon, my partner Turtle walked
out of our apartment to grab a bite. Before he even left our block, a
man called him “faggot” as he passed. Rather than let the guy get away
with it, Turtle decided to confront this man about his hateful behavior.
And he filmed it.
Notice how well Turtle handles himself in this video.
No need to fight hate with hate; calling him “slick hair” is as hateful
as Turtle gets (which is hilarious and awesome). He lets that ignorant
clown have it with poise and decency. Not surprising, considering Turtle
is the absolute best guy around and I couldn’t be prouder of him.
Our neighbors saw this altercation, and
told Turtle that this man has been harassing their thirteen year-old son
for years, sometimes even calling him “faggot” while the kid was in
recess at school
with his peers. They know who he is and where he lives. They’ve been
too scared for the kid’s safety to do anything about it. But it’s going
to end today.
Turtle is going to be filing a complaint today, according to Hartney:
I don’t know what’s going to happen yet,
but hopefully this jerk will learn that we’re not going to put up with
this crap in our neighborhood anymore. On the bright side, this charmer
is already in talks with DC Comics to illustrate Orson Scott Card’s
Superman story. It’ll be the first comic book drawn completely in
douchey hair gel.
