1) the US Armed Forces are now actively working to clean white supremacists from their ranks.
2) any stupid act like this one is going to become a viral video.
3) your name is going to go out to the world.
4) your life will basically be ruined - he's probably looking at a court marshal at the very least, and likely a less than honorable discharge.

It only takes a second to ruin your life with a stupid, self-inflicted tantrum of racist hate. This is exactly what happened to Trayvon Martin - some white guy decided he didn't belong where he was because he was black.

As to D, well, let's hope that the local sheriff, and the neighborhood associations take some serious preventive action so that some poor kid who is just walking on a public sidewalk while being black doesn't have this happen.

We have to get rid of this hate.
