Papa John's Schnatter May Have Been Railroaded?


Recommended Posts

That is a press release from John Schnatter - not a "news" report.

It is announcing that he filed a lawsuit - not that has any valid claim or is in front of a court or anything like that. This is not new news. He has been saying he would sue for nearly three years now.

Correct.

"Railroaded" or not, he took his plea bargain. And neither he nor his cousin were ever willing to respect or abide by the probation regulations they agreed to in order to avoid incarceration. 

No matter if he was meanin' no harm... Ultimately, his actions show a complete and flagrant disrespect for law and order, and those brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe. 

I'll say it: He's no modern-day Robin Hood. He's just a no good THUG. And I hope he suffers the full consequences of his choices.

I read that he said he is working hard to stop using the N word and get rid of it from his vocabulary.

If it takes hard work, doesn't make it seem like something he was railroaded or tricked into like he makes it seem.

Doesn't look like new developments. Seems to follow what we all know - except now there is a recording of the ad execs post conference call talking about their feelings about him as a person (how they think he is not a good face of the company - they think he lacks introspection and is a racist at heart). Now - maybe/likely the conference call was leaked as a setup to force bad press, but the conference call itself was no a setup. No one made him drop the N word. He was riffing and let the n-word fly casually. I am not here to cast judgement on that, but a company board can vote out members and fire a CEO. That is what happened and follows what we know. 

It's odd for him to admit to it first, then go conspiracy on it, then admit he struggled to rid the N word from his vocabulary.. then all this press release driven mumbo jumbo.

Not sure how this will end, but it sounds there might have been a coordinated attempt to entrap him. Guy might be a major ass, but there is a reason entrapment is illegal and will get cases thrown out. For people that know what their doing it is not hard to get some people to say what you want them to.

Anyone who says they had to work to rid the N word from their vocabulary did not lose their job because some super smart woke people tricked him into saying it and got taken out of context.
