Bigots Coming Out Of The Woodwork

Here's the next in what seems to be an unending stream of hate crimes waiting to happen.

TV personality Jason Wahler hurled racial and homophobic invectives at a Seattle police officer when he was arrested for punching a hotel security guard and passing out drunk. Wahler is from MTV's "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County."

Wahler repeatedly called Officer C. DePina, who is not black, a "nigger" and a "faggot," DePina wrote in the report. "Wahler stated he was rich and would have my ass." So much for growing up as a child of privilege in a gorgeous place with a 30% gay/lesbian population.

It was his third arrest since September, when he punched a city worker and tow-truck driver in Los Angeles. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail — scheduled to begin serving in May — and ordered him to attend AA classes and a one-day program at the Museum of Tolerance (in West Hollywood) for using racial slurs.

He was also arrested in March in Greenville, NC, for investigation of underage drinking and resisting a public officer.

He is the perfect example of what happens when celebrity culture runs rampant. The fact is that he is a total nobody and will be forgotten and unidentifiable by this time next year. As for growing up privileged, that's probably the biggest part of his problem...never having to earn or work for anything, just having it all handed to him on a silver platter. eh...lock the jerk up and throw away the key. People like him will never contribute anything worthwhile to society.

I am so happy to have no idea who this dumbass is. I will put that on the same mental shelf with my "Never have seen an episode of American Idol" plaque.

John--

I don't know him either but I lived in Orange County for 20 years...Laguna Beach is beautiful. All the gay guys are pulling up stakes, tho, and moving to Palm Springs.

As far as AI, you don't know what you're missing. Or maybe you do! ;)
