Garry has tweeted about the violence his peers have had to endure in SF so I don't blame him for putting his money where is mouth is.

Perhaps he should reflect on why they deserve this violence, instead of giving people more reason for violence against him.
An Indian American man deserved to be smashed in the back of the head with a hammer?
What does this have to do with Garry Tan and CA, it happened in Georgia?

Weird tangent, but anyways: tax the rich.

Tan isn't exactly non-violet either, so more confused on the tangent:

>He once tweeted that seven of the city’s supervisors — all progressives — should “die slow, motherfuckers” in a late-night polemic. The tweet, which Tan said was a joke, prompted hateful mail and police reports.

I haven't heard about this. What's the story here?
Thanks for the link
When was this??
Was it this tweet?

“Fuck Chan Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a label and motherfucking crew,” he wrote in a since-deleted post on X, formerly Twitter, to his 408,000 followers during the early morning hours of Saturday. “Die slow motherfuckers.”

Tupac must have been rolling over in his grave, drunk or not this was absolute cringe and unacceptable from a public figure.
