Edit: Ok, claiming the victim for getting accosted after taking pictures of people without consent

I'm sure if a white girl slapped him for taking her picture without consent we wouldn't hear about this. He really should just shut his mouth. This is only going to end bad for him
Each tweet he's publicly responding to is only digging himself deeper into the hole.
Personally, I don't think anything should come of the initial tweets he sent, because he's been acting like this for years, but c'mon man, get it together

"Radio Host Goes On A Violent Gun Rampage Against The World - 20 Teens Dead, 1 Cat Orphaned"

I think everyone is overreacting and the show will be fine. He didn't even do anything.

He's draining all he can out of the story for whatever reason. Any sensible person would of stopped tweeting about this now.
5 Scoop216 2014-07-03
Am I missing something? I read the rant and didn't see anything as bad as people are making it out to be. I think you guys have been warped by that stupid fucking apology clock bit. Ant doesn't need to do a damn thing, the show is not that popular, he's not a famous actor, he doesn't need to apologize.
-4 [deleted] 2014-07-03
You don't see a problem with Ant's tweets right now? They're insanely racist, of course that isn't a shock to most people here because we know he's racist from the show. To any outsider these tweets come across as insane, because they pretty much are. Ant might not be popular but enough sites have picked up on this where it seems it won't just be ignored. If Ant does apologize though, that will be equally as bad as this racism, considering how fucking much they've gone on about apologies recently. It's pretty much a lose-lose situation for Ant.

He isn't going to apologize. Just like he isn't going to sit around quietly and allow the vultures to prey on him with their fake outrage, awaiting his fake apology.
If there's one thing O&A are, it's consistent. When the old Apology Train comes rolling their way, they not only refuse to apologize, but they defend themselves as loud as they please.
How many times have we seen the Apology Police come and go in a matter of days, before another stupid headline pops up taking its place? And now that it hits O&A we're supposed to act as if this story is actually something serious this time? This doesn't mean shit. If everybody who ever apologized did what Anthony is doing right now, it would prolong their little story perhaps an extra afternoon, just enough time for the Apology Police to dig up another delicious carcass to feed off of. These people are parasites, and parasites feed off the weak.
He won't apologize, the media will realize that their dumb trick didn't work, and everybody will move on by Monday. That's how the game works, every so often.

First of all, it's black on black violence, Ant hails from the Sicilian Berber 'Al-Qumiyyah' clan. Among his ancestors are the architect of Palermo's Main Mosque and the Emir of Bari, so how is he racist?
Second, Anthony is gender-nonconforming, he often walks around in Mommy's shoes, so Ant is more of a victim of both Homo- and Islamophobia than anything else. Shame on the liberal mudstream media for making it about something else.

Assaulted.
Since when is violence an acceptable aswer to someone taking a picture in public? Do you go around knocking out store owners for having security cameras?
-1 dazwah 2014-07-03
You don't see any difference between taking individual pictures of people and a security camera that's always rolling?
3 ToothGnasher 2014-07-03
Well one is legal, whilst the other is also completely fucking legal.
0 dazwah 2014-07-03
I'm not talking legality. I'm saying the way people feel about being recorded. Don't you think its reasonable to feel a little violated by some guy who insists on photographing you on the street at 3am vs. walking into a store where there's usually bound to be a recording device recording everyone?
3 ToothGnasher 2014-07-03
Normal people don't violently assault other people because they feel "a little violated"
-2 dazwah 2014-07-03
I'm not saying they do. I'm just saying it's reasonable to feel violated and angry if someone insists on taking a photo of you if you don't want them too.
And how that is different from a security camera filming the store before and after you chose to go into it

Okay, I'm convinced he's putting the nail in the coffin of the show now, he can't be this dumb. He's keeping the controversy going because he's getting a reaction and wants to go out with a bang. R.I.P. Opie & Anthony Show 1994 - 2014.
0 oasuperfanwnew 2014-07-03
I think it's official. He's lost it.
0 Scoop216 2014-07-03
Also all the fans giving the site traffic and leaving comments is just going to keep the story up top trending.

I always knew Ant was a little nuts, but it was always a sort of eccentric, comedic and charismatic type of crazy. He has bridged the line of funny and destructive.
0 clockworkd 2014-07-03
Again wheres the proof he was assaulted?
0 pekingoose 2014-07-03
Ant keeps calling himself the victim ,I'd be all on board if he wasn't beaten up by a chick with fat tits in a skimpy dress.

exactly. why would you want people to know that this shit happened?
2 ScoleriBrother 2014-07-03
Because it supports his view on race relations.

if you inverted everything he said about black people into white people, it would read like a typical buzzfeed / jezebel / xojane / etc.. article.

Ahhh if you ask me this is a whole bunch of hearsay, let's wait and see what happens until we start pointing fingers.

A person who hits people for taking a picture is a "savage".

What a selfish prick. If he had any love for Jimmy and The Opester he'd delete all of his asinine tweets and go straight to rehab.
YES, I know that Ant going into rehab would be terribly ironic, but it's the only thing that'll save the show right now.
Ant is adding fuel to the fire.
5 [deleted] 2014-07-03
You don't go to rehab for racism you nob.
-6 majestik6 2014-07-03
Ant routinely stays up for two or three days straight, do the math. The smartest thing he could do right now is to go straight to rehab and blame the rant on drugs and booze.
6 oasuperfanwnew 2014-07-03
You've obviously never been on a friday night bender you pussy. He sleeps all day and stays up all night until after radio. It's not that hard falling asleep at 11am after staying up all night.
-4 majestik6 2014-07-03
Ant is pushing sixty. I appreciate that we're all fans, but don't be silly, the dude could use a stint in rehab. It's the easiest way to save the show. Go to rehab, do an apology, in a year we'll all have a good laugh about it. No different than Jocktober.
6 [deleted] 2014-07-03
Yeah that's right, we'll go back to the way things were! We'll forget the whole thing, we'll forget the whole fucking thing. It will be just like it never happened! Wendy, I think you hurt my head real bad...
