Racist NJ Asshole with 20 Prior Convictions -- Judge Rules He Must Remain in Jail

.



A New Jersey man whose racist rant and subsequent arrest went viral has been ordered by a judge to remain in jail, the New York Post reports.

Edward Cagney Mathews was arrested July 5 as protesters gathered outside his home was charged with three counts of harassment with the purpose to intimidate a person based on race, regarding his racist comments towards his Black neighbors. He was later charged with additional counts, including weapons and drug violations.

"This is not Africa … or wherever the f–k you were," video shows Mathews saying. He also repeatedly used the N-word and "monkey."

According to Assistant Prosecutor Jamie Hutchinson, Mathews started harassing homeowners association board members of color more than a year ago by smashing a neighbor's car with a rock and smearing it with fecal matter.

The judge noted that Mathews' 20 prior convictions played a role in his decision.

Come on judge, it's just 20 priors. It's not like it's 22 of them.

Where are the "three strikes & out" crowd?
I'll assume most are misdemeanors, but 20 certainly looks like max penalties were in order, quite some time back.

This guy was out and free with 20 convictions because he's white, and the system bends over backwards to keep white males out of jail.

Is this some sign of arrested developmemt or something?

I mean, the Capitol mob did the same thing.

Just add it to the list of their weird behaviors.
