Damn. It's getting harder and harder to say "Yes what he's saying is fucked up, but he's clearly just mentally ill and is it really harming anyone?"

Being mentally ill is becoming a catchall excuse for assholes. Of course you clearly have something wrong with you if you think doing this is okay. So what?

You can be both mentally ill AND an asshole at the same time. More often, people just happen to be mentally ill and they don't want to bother anyone.

Kanye has a well documented issue and would benefit from being thrown in a psych ward against his will.

Multiple attacks have been linked to his comments. So yes, Kanye's hate speech has harmed and continues to inspire violence.

This guy is probably too stupid to ditch the sign or the little bike trailer, so he'll likely be caught sooner than later.

I'm not joking, I think I know that guy. He used to live in a car by my post office with his wife and a bunch of dogs. His wife died and he must have moved on elsewhere.
I always felt bad for those dogs

>A representative of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) told ABC News that the attack demonstrated the real-world consequences of West’s invective targeting Jews.
>“Cases like celebrities and sports figures who make statements, this is something that’s being carried out by someone with a huge following and when that happens people copy it,” Scott Richman — regional director of the ADL’s office in New York and New Jersey — commented. “People begin to think that is normal.”
>The attack, which took place four days before the start of the Hanukkah holiday, is likely to further unnerve Jews in New York as they face an upswing in antisemitism.
>According to the NYPD, antisemitic attacks in November rose by 125 percent compared with the same period in 2021. According to general data on hate crimes gathered by the NYPD, Jewish New Yorkers were the most targeted group, accounting for 60 percent of all hate crimes reported.

Kanye 2024!
Edit: to be clear, apparently that’s what the attacker yelled.
