Cancel culture and Twitter did their thing, as a local cloud solution CEO is identified as the fellow who yelled Trumps gonna f*** you and You Asian piece of s*** in a Monterey incident.
The various Karens, Kens, and BBQ Becky types have really been on a racist roll lately, likely emboldened by President Trumps attempts to make racism fashionable again and the wave of anti-Asian attacks in the COVID-19 era. The latest Trumper to go full-on Alex Jones in a viral video has been identified by his real name before even given a snappy internet nickname, as KPIX reports that San Francisco cloud computing CEO Michael Lofthouse was the big-mouthed bigot in an unprovoked racist shouting attack at Bernardus Lodge and Spas Lucia restaurant in Carmel Valley. The incident has spurred national media reports on TMZ, the New York Post, and more, along with the naming of his SF company Solid8, and likely dimmer career prospects for this fellow going forward.
Note: The anti-Asian invective on display in the video below is really bad. Like, police text message bad.
As seen in video above, posted by a woman eating dinner with her family, Lofthouse yelled Trumps gonna fuck you!, You fuckers need to leave, and fucking Asian piece of shit, all apparently unprovoked.
Chan adds for context that this was at her grandmothers birthday dinner. We were celebrating my titas birthday, literally just singing happy birthday to her and taking pictures, when this white supremacist starts yelling disgusting racist remarks at us, she posted on the Insta, adding the Lofthouses remarks also included (Fuck you Asians Go back to whatever fucking Asian country youre from You dont belong here).

being outed and in many cases, lose their jobs and being charged in a lot of instances. It keeps happening because you can bet the rw media or blogs are not posting the consequences of their actions but it sure does my heart good to see they are not getting away with it.

...here's their website: Solid8 help line.
I sent him a message telling him he could help us by getting his racist ass out of our country by going back to Britain to hang out with Covid Boris.
