Can you ask him to reply to his tweet with that clarification? I don’t think that is the common sense understanding of the tweet, which is very racist. Until he publicly clarifies, I’m pretty happy to continue my common sense understanding of that tweet.
I don’t know why he didn’t delete it. I don’t think it’s particularly important to his main causes and points. If I were him, I’d totally delete it.
My guess is that he feels pretty constantly attacked and he probably has a set of principles/rules he follows for when to delete stuff, and it’s not “delete it if a lot of people are mad at me online”, since people on the left and the right are often quite mad at him online.
FWIW, I immediately assumed he was talking about woke activists (and apparently he was talking about crime apologists, a subset of woke activists).
The context makes total sense to me. A person he thinks was just preventing crime is being sent to prison for life. He’d obviously be talking about the people who did that to the person
I have no opinion on the particular event. I’d never heard of it till just yesterday and I don’t want to go down that rabbit hole. Just purveying how Hanania likely saw the situation.
I’ve also read a lot of Hanania’s stuff, so it’s even more clear to me than to somebody who hasn’t. He’s an anti-speciesist who equally angers the right and the left. It’d be pretty surprising to me if he hated black people. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if he felt a lot of anger towards woke activists.

He publicly clarified on the Blocked and Reported podcast.
I got his permission to publicly share the quote I shared with you.
He’s already been asked a million times to clarify on Twitter, so I doubt he’ll listen to me.
Yeah but why not. The least he could do is delete it.
If he is only doing cheap actions and not costly ones.. maybe he in fact does mean the thing it looks like he means.
Or maybe he really likes annoying people. But I don’t like annoying edgy “maybe I’m being racist maybe not” either.
Edit: I do get why he doesn’t delete things in general. I feel that way too. But if I said anything that unclear I’d delete it.
