This biracial (yes, Jewish and Korean) schmuck, Marcus Epstein, who consorts with European neo-Nazis, is going to the University of Virginia Law School in the fall? What a self-hating nincompoop. He must have some heavy duty sponsorship for his admission to that school. Do the school authorities know what he really is and what he's done? Better walk a wide berth from this guy if they allow him to come. Or better yet, get the Latino and black law students at UV organized to be on the lookout for this creep and his new group, Youth for Western Civilization. From the Washington Independent is the U.S. Attorney's factual proffer:
On July 7, 2007, at approximately 7:15 p.m. at Jefferson and M Street, Northwest, in Washington, D.C., defendant was walking down the street making offensive remarks when he encountered the complainant, Ms. [REDACTED], who is African-American. The defendant uttered, "Nigger," as he delivered a karate chop to Ms. [REDACTED]’s head.
A karate chop? To a black woman who just walked by minding her business? According to DC Indymedia, here is what happened next.
[Epstein] was briefly detained by the woman's husband, but was able to escape, only to be arrested minutes later by a Secret Service officer who witnessed the attack. According to the officer's statement, a friend of Epstein's informed him that he had been drinking.
A restraining order to stay away from the couple has been imposed on Epstein. He currently faces a maximum punishment of 180 days in jail and $1000 fine and also had to continue mental health treatment, complete an alcohol treatment program, write a letter of apology to the victim and donate $1000 to the United Negro College Fund prior to sentencing.
People have been onto Epstein for years, but the personal attack may have been something new:
For years, conservative writer and activist Marcus Epstein has worked with the mainstream of the immigration restrictionist movement. He wrote speeches for former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) during his presidential bid, and he’s still working as the executive director of Tancredo’s Team America PAC, alongside Bay Buchanan. Epstein has been targeted for years by civil rights groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the One People’s Project...
Epstein pled guilty, but later took it back. Instead, he admitted that "the government could prove me guilty." His sentencing is scheduled for July 8. Meanwhile, his employer, the former Colorado representative, has assumed greater visibility in attacking--you guessed it--Judge Sonia Sotomayor for being a racist.
Well, it certainly takes one to know one.
UPDATE: DC Indymedia just reported the following from the University of Virginia:
From our admissions dean:
(1) Mr. Epstein is not currently enrolled at the University of Virginia School of Law, and
(2) I do not expect him to be an enrolled student in the future.
Please correct your story online.
