So there's this guy, Aaron Schlossberg, a lawyer who is being tweeted to death by people who loathe him. It's all because of a cellphone video that went viral the other day of Schlossberg hatefully berating a couple of restaurant workers for speaking to one another in Spanish.
In New York City! — that great metropolis with hundreds of different languages spoken on its streets. WHUT!? We cats were befuddled. One would assume that Schlossberg's tirade was more Mobile, Memphis or Montgomery than Midtown Manhattan.
But as we watched the video and read the outraged tweets, we realized that this Schlossberg guy is a fairly renowned racist who rants at people of color in public a lot. Schlossberg also says he's Jewish. A member of an oft-oppressed minority, spewing hate?
This all seemed kind of fishy to us. His behavior was too over the top — it made us wonder if this wasn't some sort of long-running, twisted piece of performance art. Or maybe somebody was doing a reboot of "Candid Camera"? The possibilities seemed endless.
Well, apparently not. Schlossberg has been kicked out of his rented office space, and a complaint's been filed against him with New York's Unified Court System Departmental Disciplinary Committee.
So we cats stand corrected: Schlossberg really is a racist and a pig. Another cretin emboldened by Trump, no doubt. We're pleased that he's getting a taste of his own medicine now, and we HISS.
