I hope he gets not only prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law under hate crime statue and violation of state and county health orders but lose his job, his friends and family. People like these can only learn when the life as they know it is taken away from them.

but he's stupid enough to leave the Contact Us open on his website so I sent some hilarious shade his way.
Since I'm a literary manager in Hollywood I offered to rep him for a feature film based on his life called PIECE OF SHIT: A RACIST'S TALE
