A Eugene, Ore. community theater actor who allegedly cyber-harassed a black student leader has agreed to a remarkable settlement with his victim.

Evan James McCarty, 22, allegedly moonlighted on neo-Nazi websites as "Byron De La Vandal" and participated in a campaign of harassment against Taylor Dumpson, the first black woman to serve as student body president at American University in Washington, D.C.

In April, Rose City Antifa revealed McCarty's identity. Dumpson then sued him and two other men in federal court. In a settlement reached last week and reported by The New York Times, McCarty "agreed to apologize, renounce white supremacy, undergo counseling and help civil rights groups fight hate and bigotry."

Dumpson's lawsuit, filed with the assistance of the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, could provide a national model for holding extremists responsible for hate speech and bullying online.

Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyer's Committee, told the Washington Post that the settlement shows a way to legally confront white supremacists.

"I firmly believe that this settlement that we secured is one that is unique and provides a way to address the looming crisis that we see across the country," Clarke said. "We can't just stand back and wait for prosecutors to develop the political will to go after these folks."

McCarty has agreed to anti-hate training, and will apologize to Dumpson in writing and on video. She can use the video for "civil rights advocacy, outreach and educational activities," the Times reported.

McCarty was a well-known actor in Eugene's community-theater scene, until Rose City Antifa, the Portland-based antifascist group, alleged his double identity in April.

Eugene Weekly reported that he had appeared in musicals including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Mary Poppins and Annie Get Your Gun. (Asked for comment in April by the weekly, McCarty replied: "You can fuck off, for one. I don't talk to journos.")

McCarty's alleged behavior is one of several high-profile cases of white supremacist and neo-Nazi activity in Oregon over the past several years. Many of those cases have centered on Eugeneincluding that of a cannabis lab owner who allegedly celebrated white supremacy online. The neo-Nazi Jimmy Marr, who plays bagpipes and displays anti-semitic slurs on his truck, lives in nearby Springfield. Marr was hospitalized last week after a fight with four antifascist activists in Corvallis.

Good thing Antifa was there to unmask that creep's identity so his victim could take his ass to court.

I thought the other side throwing the bottle was the initial contact. Hmm.

Which wouldn't have happened if the first boy wouldn't have charged at him. The act of fighting precipitated the violence, not the bottle throw.

This wouldnt have happened if a bunch of people didnt show up to protest in full masks, stalk the guys after the event and block the path. You can see in the video they were clearly in a line blocking a path, they were instigating the hell out of this.

And then the dude charged at them. Sorry bro, gleefully initiating a fight doesn't make for a solid case of self defense.

It's very clear that the real issue here is that a lot of CE is blatantly transphobic or believes that all transpeople are mentally ill, or delusional, or cross dressers. That's why people are going out of their way to call her a man here.

CE will take any excuse to voice these opinions.

Don't think I'm defending a violent outburst or threats, those were definitely wrong. But many on CE straight up don't care about and actively encourage misgendering as a type of social power play.

It's all over this topic, so pretty hard to deny.

Prove it was more than the couple times shown in the video. The couple completely understandable times.

If all you're going to do is defend the employee escalating the encounter no matter what then why am I even bothering continuing to talk to you? You've already said that there's no circumstance where you'll recognize the employee constantly making matters worse.

I don't like Antifa, but I really don't have a problem with them winning in a fight against Proud Boys.

The problem is neither of these should be a thing

Go tell your fairy godmother to make them all go away then.

You consider it beneficial that racists feel empowered to rally to the extent an opposing force feels it necessary to counteract them? I guess I don't think that's a great thing to be happening

Sounds like you live in a fairytale where those racists haven't existed for hundreds of years. Kinda adorable, but since they have actually existed for a very long time I'm not gonna balk that there's finally something to take the fight to them that has only existed for like what, 5 years? How long has Antifa been out there in American streets punching nazis? Not a long time.

If you cant even put the EFFORT of looking feminine or at least ambigous you have no right to get mad if people accidentally misgender you.

he looks like a linebacker with a rockstar hairstyle, no shit people aint gonna assume hes a woman at first glance

Ah yes because there's tons of men in girl jeans, with a pink shirt and hoody that's for show and not warmth, and earrings, and long styled hair.

What's more, the employee was corrected more than a few times.

The video depicts a man with girl jeans, a pink shirt , and a hoodie that's for show.

That's the excuse for the first time. Not the 10th.

Person clearly has mental illness.

Also the person could clearly just look up gamestop's corporate number on their cell phone.

Sure. But he doesn't want to just look up the number, he wants to humiliate the clerk for insulting him.

Asking an employee for a corporate number is a part of any customer service job. Providing that number is what the employee is supposed to do, but he refuses to stop misgendering her and wasn't even making a motion for that number.

Yes he was. The video ends shortly after the clerks says he's getting the number for the customer, but the customer storms out first threatening to tell the whole LGBT community.

And he switched back to "ma'am" again. You're being disingenuous if you're trying to frame it as a clerk refusing to use preferred pronouns. He is clearly trying to, but having trouble with when the 6'+ masculine looking individual is yelling at him.

You are entirely full of shit here.

I'm not alleging anything, it's right there in the video. Everytime she's telling and screaming at him to stop its preceded by him referring to her as a male.

I don't think that person was being an asshole at all. It's good to stand up for yourself when someone is directly insulting you and fuck anyone who disingenuously applies phony rules of politeness on someone who's being publicly humiliated.

the people trying to pretend like they're above this are people who are currently benefiting from people standing up for themselves and others in the past. sometimes verbally, sometimes physically, sometimes with an army. what privilege or freedoms did these disingenuous critics win for anybody? I wish one of them could answer that.

this person stood up for themselves. as hilarious as the shit was, the outrage was legitimate.

No It wasn't. Threatening to beat up some nerdy kid and vandalizing his place of work over arguably unintentional pronoun misuse when you look like a male hooker in drag and no real person's first thought would be that you are a lady is not legitimate.

She was being misgendered long before she started kicking over the store. Seems like you'll just defend her being insulted no matter what happens.

Being insulted by a nerdy kid is not justification for threats of violence and vandalism. Seems like you're in a rush to defend simply because it's a situation involving a transgender. If it was a regular white guy being insulted and went on to trash the store this wouldn't even be a topic.

And is there other proof of further misgendering outside of this video other than what the "victim" claims?

Btw, it's pretty easy to accidentally say "sir", even multiple times, in a heated exchange if you've been saying sir your whole life to people who are clearly men. Especially in customer service when it is a polite title to diffuse a situation in which someone with a deep guy voice is yelling at you.

I'd defend any person that walks into a store, gets insulted by the employees, and continuously asks them to stop despite the employee refusing to use basic manners. Her flipping out seems par for the course for being continuously insulted. If you don't want angry customers trashing your store then stop going out of your way to bash your customers and get them upset.

And why would I need proof of her being misgendered before the video starts rolling? If there's video of the altercation starting over something else, then we can talk about that thing once the video is posted.

Weird hill to die on? Repeatedly misgendered? All the video caught was him saying a gender neutral "you guys" and then apologizing for it. Unless I missed something.

According to the person at hand it was the fifth time it happened, and you can hear him address her as sir at least twice before finally saying maam.

even if this is true and it was intentional (clearly wasnt) the customer response was insane and that person should be charged and banned from the property

I already said kicking over the display and threat of physical violence wasnt called for.

However I can see how frustration mounted if he repeatedly did that even after being told otherwise

uhhh no. publically freaking out because someone doesnt say something you want them to just isnt acceptable. if you believe it is a malicious act just call the company and report it, dont act like an unhinged lunatic

She tried to and he still wouldn't stop.

Around the 30 second mark, the clerk switches to "ma'am". He didn't refuse to stop saying "sir".

Then he switches back.

no, it clearly sounded like the employee was flustered because this person was acting insane and he just reacted by repeating 'sir', didnt sound malicious at all and the customer should have just left and contacted the company

No, the customer asked for that corporate number like 5 different times and each time the employee kept referring to her as a male, despite being told to stop several times before getting to the point where the customer asked for the number in the first place.

Do bears even have the reasoning skills to do this? Every bear I've met has just been like "Food!" or "Maul!"

They've never been like, "Son, I can't stand thinking that you'll live a life of torture. We're both going to go to sleep now. Close your eyes and don't open them. Mommy will see you when you wake up."

What animal can't tell when it's distressed?

Enough to mercy kill it? Or even realize what a mercy kill is?

What animal doesn't know what death is?

Mercy killing is something many humans would struggle with. You're telling me a bear has the complex brain power needed to understand that and then make that choice?

Is it more likely that we're just assigning human like reasoning to an animal? Could the bear simply just have freaked out due to torture instead of weighing the complex intricacies of it's child living in pain.

This is a bear. An animal notorious for doing anything it can to keep it's cubs alive. It has very strong instincts to not do this and they're not geniuses of the animal world. It more likely just went mad from torture imo.

Sounds like you answered your own question.

Misgendering someone, if you consider it to be purposeful, justifies violence. I agree

Doesn't exactly justify it, but in that situation it wouldn't be an ass kicking that just snuck in out of nowhere.

More Americans blame President Donald Trump than congressional Democrats for the partial U.S. government shutdown, a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday found, as lawmakers returned to Washington with no quick end to the shutdown in sight.
Forty-seven percent of adults in the U.S. hold Trump responsible, while 33 percent blame Democrats in Congress, according to the Dec. 21-25 poll, conducted mostly after the shutdown began. Seven percent of Americans blamed congressional Republicans.

Just in case anyone was curious how perception of the shutdown was going.

Apu from simpsons

That poor cartoon character.

The voice actor got his career ruined. The problem is, take that does it hold up seinfeld video that popped up recently. SJWs looked at the "not that theres anything wrong witg that" and got offended and chastized it. Little did they know the episode won several GLADD awards.

The problem isnt that SJWs want to find justice they rather want to be offended and find something to white knight over for God knows what reason. They unintentionally and ironically make things worse . thats the problem.

How did Hank Azaria have his career ruined? That's quite a bold claim with absolutely no evidence to back it up.

"Oh no, his controversial role playing one character was questioned. Guess he'll just go back to voicing the 6 other characters on the show he acts as then."
