Holy Shit! Racist gets his just desserts yelling at fracking protesters. Offensive Language Warning

Warning: Unedited racist language and monkey calls. Please use discretion when viewing.



My comment: Incredible what this guy says and how ignorant he is, but he gave little thought to how this would play out, and the chickens came home to roost, and roost hard, they did. Now, he'll be milking the teat of government for unemployment, which he shouldn't get if he's fired for cause.


Pennsylvania man hurls vile, racist insults at cameraman and protesters, promptly gets swift justice


A Pennsylvania man identified by Butler News as "John Pisone" (he’s now deleted his Facebook page) took time out of his busy day to stop and harass a group people protesting against fracking in Pennsylvania.

As the video starts, Pisone is chastising the protesters, questioning if they’ve ever had a job. Only seconds later, he turns to cameraman Tom Jefferson (who is black) and let’s loose a vulgar string of obscenities:

Pisone: This chimp right here (pointing at the camera).

Unidentified protester: What did you say?

Pisone: Yeah, chimp. This fucking nigger right here with a mop on his head.

Protestors: You better get out of here!

Pisone: I don’t give a fuck. He’s milking my fucking tax dollars.

Protestors: You better leave! You better get out now!

Pisone: I don’t give a fuck what you have to say.


He repeatedly made monkey noises at the cameraman and continued his racist rant (seen in the video below).

Tom Jefferson uploaded to the video to YouTube and it didn’t take long for outraged internet sleuths to contact his employer, MMC Land Management, who promptly fired John Pisone, releasing the following statement:

He's made it safe for these assholes to talk. However, I very much support their right to free speech, because they will inevitably hang themselves when they spew their hate. Censoring morons like this only drives it underground and validates their point (in their minds). Let it be free, open and ready to be refuted at a moment's notice. When I say free speech, I definitely don't mean free from consequences. The consequences were just and swift. The company is well within their rights to choose to not have this fuck-bucket represent the company.

Racist opens mouth, foot is inserted, and now unemployed. I hope he enjoyed every one of those monkey calls he made.

Today, we were disgusted to learn that one of MMC’s former employees used racial slurs and made racially charged comments during a peaceful protest in Mars, Pennsylvania, outside of work hours at a location with which we have no affiliation. We are sorry that this incident occurred. Whether at work or not, we do not condone hate speech - EVER. Inclusion and diversity are among MMC’s core values. We believe in equality for everyone, regardless of race, age, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. MMC has terminated this employee and will never do business with him again in the future.

Wanted to "cut deep" to get the guy's attention.

Nice try - you were having fun with those words. Your white supremacy didn't work out so well, eh?

I fought assholes like this guy growing up. I'm a Jew who ran with SHARP and RASH Skinheads from all walks (Puerto Ricans, black, Native American, Irish skinheads). We would regularly run into these clowns (known in skinhead sub-culture as "Boneheads" as they are not part of the traditional skinhead scenes of the early Rude Boy and rock-steady eras. The boneheads would say all kinds of stupid shit, we'd kick their ass, then they'd claim that they're not really racists, only to be found running around with WAR (White Aryan Resistance) or Hammerskins days later.

Pieces of shit didn't even have the courage of their convictions.

Oh now he is sorry he "went racial?" And he thinks appealing to bigot-living White Jeebus will fix everything?

F this dude. He revealed his inner violent bigotry to the entire world. I hope he winds up homeless and has to beg for his food.

John Pisone, piss on you. Go away now and put us out of your misery.

Sorry that he got caught. He is so stupid, he saw that they were videotaping... He did not expect this kind of blowback, that is the point! he thought he could harass them without any repercussions. That is so disgusting, harassing somebody because you think this person is vulnerable and won't fight back... Bet he'll get some money online or something though.
