People have been calling me a facist, a racist, etc. over the past month or so just for watching a trial and calling the evidence what it is. I was in jail with Jeremy Joseph Christian and became interested in his case because everything you hear about it seems slanted. I even went to the trial a couple of times. It turns out the truth varies greatly from the narrative presented in the press. Things like one of his alleged victims throwing him onto the ground before he stabbed him and a woman macing him as he was walking away from her. When I point out stuff like that I get called racist or facist just because most people consider Jeremy Christian to be a racist facist and therefore anyone that befriends him must be also.
This case is tainted by the whole Antifa vs the alt-right thing. Anyone viewed as being alt-right is automatically a white supremacist, a white supremacist is automatically guilty, and the most evil form of life on Earth. First, JC is not a white supremacist. Second, he voted for Bernie Sanders. He is a provocateur and a troll but he didn't board the train looking for people to stab. He was orating like a drunk idiot, people took objection, and he was afraid of them when he started getting thrown around like a rag doll. Even if he were a white supremacist, befriending him in jail would not make me a white supremacist sympathizer any more that any other white guy that goes to jail or prison that is not completely anti-social. All white guys leave prison with white supremacist friends or no friends at all. I would rather have friends from jail/prison that include white supremacists than none. That is just how it is. Suggesting that the truth is other than what the police and fake news media claim is not racist and it does not make me facist.
