The bigots are getting bold. Bold to the point where they genuinely think they can get away with hurling homophobic slurs and driving irresponsibly without experiencing any sort of repercussions.
One sad individual found out the hard way that actions still have consequences after harassing passengers in another car by yelling homophobic slurs out his window while still speeding down the road. The individual who caught the altercation on video also alleges that he committed a hit and run on their car with his van on the I5N in Seattle.
The internet does it’s thing
Unfortunately for this guy he was foolish (or bold) enough to say what he said while having a phone camera pointed at him. Obviously it didn’t bother him at the time, but in hindsight he might have been wise to keep his mouth shut. How many times have we seen some MAGA bozo say something horrific resulting in them losing their job? They should really see it coming by now.
The video was posted to the r/Seattle subreddit where it gained a significant amount of attention. In the video the man can be heard shouting, “F***ing f****t, look at you blowing kisses.” He then laughs and repeats the slur before the video cuts off. Naturally the video caught the attention of big content creators such as TizzyEnt who make a living by calling out this kind of bad behavior.
When the people of the internet get mad there’s usually no stopping them. They band together and track down people like some kind of cyber Liam Neeson from Taken. In this case it didn’t really take a whole lot of work to find out every single detail about this guy. His whole life story was laid out on Reddit before the day was out.
Who is this guy?
According to Reddit sleuths, the man’s name is Tony Damele. They were able to find out exactly who he was thanks to his Bay Star Plumbing cap. Wearing your work cap is never a good idea if you plan on being a general POS, but it’s especially not a good idea if you are the owner of said company and your personal details are all over the company page.
That’s right, while the website is now down, a picture of Tony and his wife was found on the Bay Star Plumbing website complete with his full name and other details. The company then went completely dark on all its social accounts but that didn’t put a stop to the internet’s wrath.
The Yelp reviews for Bay Star Plumbing took a nosedive in the wake of this damning video. The company rating currently stands at 1.7 stars. Yelp also lists the business as temporarily closed so it seems he couldn’t quite handle the heat.
