Pepe the Frog’s Creator Gets Alt-Right Children’s Book Pulled, Vows to ‘Aggressively Enforce His Intellectual Property’ - Motherboard

Quote:
Under the terms of the settlement, Hauser will have to turn over all his profits from the self-published book. "It wasn't much," Tompros said, just $1,521.54.

"But Furie does not want money made by peddling hateful themes to children," read a press release from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP. "Instead, per the agreement—and at Furie's insistence—Hauser will be required to give all of his profits to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.


An assistant principal wrote a children’s book about alt-right mascot Pepe the frog. It cost him his job. - The Washington Post

I have friends that witnessed this and friends that were on the other side of the man for this very reason. (There's a group of rangers around the giant fire because people are fucking morons and occasionally run in to throw things into the fire or try to take a piece of ash while it's still on fire).

Fuck you dude!
This has happened before and there were people set up to prevent it or other stupid ideas, so this took planning and effort to jump into fire in front of people.

From what I read he was a first timer (I've kinda tried to ignore this) and it shows, because no veteran would jeopardize other burns for their own selfish needs.
