what is a resolution gonna do? this is performative nonsense.
It's going to violate someone's due process come court time.
The state already passed a judgment without hearing both sides of the case.
It's grounds for dismissal and results in an actual damaging result to the victims if the claims are accurate.
How sad is this in the 21st century?!
Good to see the majority of respondents having an issue over a motion to denounce racism are essentially…exposing their own passive aggressive racism. Whether the issue happened or not…we all can’t agree to denounce racism? Pathetic.
Name me one single motion to denounce racism that has ever accomplished anything.
Nor are we getting the full story….
EXACTLY! I came here to get the “full story” still no clue what happened.🙄
I don't live in Idaho, so I don't know. Who is the first guy in the video with the gray hair and glasses with a green tie on?
Probably the Senate President.
Hate crime? Even if it did happen, how is calling someone names a hate crime?
Sure, we all have freedom of speech. This fundamental right is open to interpretation and has it's limits though. For example you can't say certain things while in certain places without being removed - and possibly charged with disturbing the peace. You can't libel someone without civil consequences. Also some threats and calls to action are deemed assault and might lead to arrest. I'm not sure of the penalties of a "hate crime" that seems to include only harassment by speech. I don't know how it's codified - in each state specifically.
In a simpleminded world We would call names and be called names. We'd do it, and be okay with someone doing it to us - without it leading to violence. Most name calling tends to escalate though.
Now, with that said, it is perhaps elevated to a hate crime in this instance because of the history of our country. Certain language harkens back to a particular brutal history that we haven't really healed from (if even possible 🇺🇲). The stalking of the women, Revving of engines, yelling racial slurs, all sounds like a Klu klux klan lynching about to occur. The women were made unsafe by the actions. Maybe authorities want to get the cowardly devils documented before they actually physically assault, or murder someone. That may be the intent of the law - capture and prevention. Or maybe enhancement and deterrence, so that other cowards won't try to copycat the racial attack.
Sorry the women had to go through this. All of Idaho isn't like this...I hope. It'd be wrong to pre-judge the entire State based on a few dangerous morons, but it's understandable if folks have to be precautionary. You never know who is a bigot. Even more reason to bring the cowards to light and investigate them. Ask them how and why. How'd they become that way? Are their grandparents racists as well? Did they hear their parents and neighbors saying slurs growing up? What about friends and spouses? Children? Do they all still speak this way? Why do they value racism so much? Why verbally attack the basketball team? Did they feel tough as if they were living on edge while yelling racial epithets? Why?
🇺🇲
The interesting thing is that the local policeman used "racial hate-crime" language in describing the perpetrators, which is actually hilarious in its own way.
No, you're just a racist
First of all.... Let's do the math, the location; Idaho. Facts!
Did you instantly believe Jussie or did you wait for the investigation to conclude. Chicago, 2:00 am, MAGA racists. Facts?
Just so you know, the current allegations in Utah sound believable to me, but somebody wanting to wait for an investigation to conclude before the passing judgement doesn’t make them racist.
Evidence?
Unfortunately the press in their efforts to sow division and chaos don’t care about evidence, facts reality in general
@@benjamindehr3179(slow clap)
There is none
Cour d'Alene?!! This city is mostly native American. 🤔🤔
@@harrycrazy46 you're mind is a dark, weird place. Hollywood executives are even creeped out.
Omg! Your law makers are so effing petty and racist their first reaction is to deny it happened and theyre furious that they got called out publicly.
Why is a legislature wasting time on this? If I lived in ID I call my representative and tell them to get the F back to real work
This is real work. And there’s a reason has its reputation. The state attracts such people, particularly up north.
Innocent until proven guilty. It’s pretty simple
This was certainly premature.
Really? It's been, what, a week now? Where is the evidence?
Doesn’t this appear as an admission of guilt? Passing a legislative bill before evidence is presented and a case decided? What if nothing comes of this accusation? You’ve painted CDA with a racist brush…just like you did to Hayden.
Since this it has come out that these encounters were actually taped/videoed. We do indeed not only need a “resolution”, which does absolutely nothing, but a FULL apology needs to be issued as we are all Idahoans and these poor excuses are our elected representatives. And if they’ve been able to find the perpetrators they need to be prosecuted, if they are students at UofI they should be expelled. We are decent people here and we need to show it.
@@meonly406 if you can provide actual footage of the alleged incident that would be appreciated. I only find police body cam footage of a chaperone statement. I live in the panhandle and I’ve never seen or heard any racial slurs or disrespectful treatment of anyone. Downtown CDA has tourists from all over, and to make assumptions and/or accusations before gathering facts creates a slippery slope for everyone involved.
@@August84118 I appreciate what your saying. It is interesting that this attack has been called false, a ruse, and ridiculous by those most likely to have supported and participated in a racist attack. When people grow up in an environment that tolerates racism/sexism/etc... it is often required of our law makers and leaders to make a show of solidarity with the attackers or to publicly remind everyone that attacking black people, women, children etc. IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
@@maryarney1350 my experience as an Idahoan is not the experience that is being depicted by this incident. If anything, it is outsiders who bring their poor behaviors to this state. If everyone treated each other with love for their fellow man as Christ asked of us, we would not be having this discussion.
@@August84118 Nope, that's not it. Your comment says, "those black people aren't REAL people. " Just like those guys calling it a lie and false.
Why waste this much effort and time on a resolution? For what? Political points or virtue signaling.
Idaho needs to clean up it's legislature. Racism is bad for "bidness." Most bad actors think business is more important than social justice. They need to see that social injustice is bad for business
What crime? That's all they are asking.
I live in Idaho. I have no problem believing this story.
Congrats on your nothing statement... should have been more than a dozen cameras to record this "racist incident" ... if it happened, then let's find these as*holes... otherwise, it sounds hard to believe
Jessie Smelliot! 😂😂😂😂 it’s pathetic so many politicians are this gullible
Na, you're just a racist
The higher the offices is. The more obvious this problem is.
We are all reincarnated a result from our environment and culture. We all have a choice of wether to improve our culture or destroy it. It only takes unification of the people to make things happen. To improve for everyone. We have to know why the others have this way of thinking.
Certainly be Fun if they Actually gave details of the event or words. Hearsey is nothing but that....yet, just hearsey. Juciy Smollet style.
Except these are college girls not a desperate crazy failing acto…but yes, the ENTIRE TEAM, of mostly white girls are in on it, all lying like Jesse Smollet. That makes PERFECT sense, you must be a genius
Dude you have to look and investigate for yourself not everything is gonna be served to you on a golden platter. Smh.
@@Darkcap222……It was a News story and they left out the incident that caused the story 🫤.
@@Darkcap222 Dude, are you really that dumb?
@@67whitegoat4EXACTLY, which makes it a propaganda story!!!!!!!
What was racist ? Lol i seen no racism going on
1:26 white folks I tell ya
Where is the videos of this racist truck? That scared soooo many... it is a hotel correct? Hotels have cameras EVERYWHERE!!! This is looking lik3 more of an excuse for poor performance...
republican recalcitrance, imagine that
No videos, no witnesses, didn't happen.
Same with OJ Simpson
Some of them lawmakers are ridiculous
People can't even live safely in their homes in Idaho
Um I take it your a Democrat
Except when we look at actual crime statistics, Idaho is by far one of the, if not THE, safest places to live in the U.S regardless of your race. There’s always going to be a few rotten eggs in every batch though. It’s just part of living amongst people. Some of those people will be evil.
The college student massacre could have happened anywhere and the murderer wasn’t even from Idaho.
Following your line of thinking, we’re technically never safe in our homes anywhere. It’s just a blanket statement.
I'm a Victim.....I'm a Victim.....gimmee food stamps.
😂 ok anti-black bigots white $upremacist$
There is no check box for "victim" on the application for food stamps. Just be prepared to budget $290 monthly for groceries.
You know the majority of Americans on food stamps are white…right???
what are you israel?
Tell me you’re a racist without telling me you’re a racist. Do a little research btw. The majority of people on “food stamps” are white.
This is Crying Wolf Again.
