Dane Baptiste death threat to woman

[NonCrimeHakeIncident]

I know women in the public eye get death threats frequently but I don’t think I’ve seen a public figure post one in their Instagram stories before.

The excuse explanation from Baptiste:

This guy has form for threatening women in the industry. This latest episode is just one of many.

What a bollocks excuse. What does ' monitoring' someone's public social media account mean? If you put stuff out publicly, then its open for anyone to look at.

And threatening to murder someone is hardly a proportionate response to them looking at your IG is it?

And yeah, saying 'I meant Zionist, not Jewish' to try to hide your anti-semitism is such bollocks too.

Just a boringly typical misogynistic man who thinks he can terrorise women into submission.

Now lets see if this ends his career. GL lost his career for standing up for women. Lets see if this misogynist loses his career for threatening women. I doubt it. Says it all really.

Wow. He apologises (unconvincingly) to the Jewish community but nothing for the woman whose life he actually threatened. How is being prepared to go to jail for murdering women a good way of protecting your family?!

He hasn't really apologised to the Jewish community. He apologies to 'good Jews' not those 'horrible Zionist Jews'. That apology is to the 'right' type of Jew whose thinking aligns with his own.

And yes, his apology makes it clear he felt justified in threatening to murder women.

I don't see how anyone can write that apology and not realise it makes him look like more of wanker, not less.

Sending threatening and abusive messages is never ok and having done that, stalking the social media of a woman who happens to be the partner of the person you’ve sent those messages to is also unacceptable. I’m not surprised he was upset and angry.

As to his response, see above. Sending threatening and abusive messages is never ok.

Seems he has a problem with Vanessa Feltz too. I wonder why that might be 🤔.
You don’t have to go too far back on his Twitter timeline to see various antisemitic content.

Reading through his posts he seems to have a problem with women full stop.

He hasn't really apologised to the Jewish community. He apologies to 'good Jews' not those 'horrible Zionist Jews'. That apology is to the 'right' type of Jew whose thinking aligns with his own.

Exactly. Couldn’t have put it better myself.

So many antisemites today, feeling so emboldened because of their horrible echo chamber of hate. These hateful bunch haven’t just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, they just feel confident enough to come out and say it. It's absolutely sickening. It's like 1930s all over again, every day someone hateful coming out with their disgusting views.

I’m a gentile but this hate really makes me angry and I cannot even imagine what Jewish people must feel. A small minority constantly getting picked on by some seriously sick people in this world. And then they have the nerve to claim, "I am for peace". Yeah, sure you are.

Being a jew is anough provocation these days and too many antisemites hide under the cover of anti-zionism. Here on MN too.

He alludes to that with his 'ask around' point. I hope his family are safe, he sounds like a dangerous and unhinged misogynist.

He doesn't seem to understand what he has done wrong - in his apology its like sorry I didnt mean all jews are evil and deserve to die, when really its threatening to kill anyone's family (regardless of how you view them morally) that is wrong.

Wow, that post was really nasty.
He won't loose any work though.
