They presented themselves well and were apparently coached well by their lawyer. I wonder what wasn't said. What didn't they tell us about what happened that night? Had Richards shown on the Today Show and presented his side, maybe we might have a bigger view of the situation. Still stands with me that even if Richards were black, his comments would have been inappropriate.
I've been to comedy shows where the jokes were VERY racially charged, but they were actual jokes and were funny. They picked on stereotypes. Not throwing slurs around like a child would a rag doll.
What the hecklers said was that all they did was sit down and were immediately targeted, and only responded with "You're not funny." Oh, now, I seem to remember a comment along the lines of "That's why you never did nothing and never will. Just Seinfeld, that's it."
But anyway, none of this would have mattered anyway, because Richards is white and automatically guilty, right? I have no problem with calling him guilty, but that's due to his statements, not his skin color. Pathetic on all accounts.
