Hate Has Consequences: His name is John R. Pisone and He Just Got Fired

Revolution News

The racist man, identified as John Pisone, who we reported on in our blog, “Racist Harasses Black Photojournalist & Anti-Fracking Grandparents at Rex Energy Protest,” was reportedly fired by his employer yesterday after hurling racial slurs and reactionary rhetoric

Although he was harassing folks who were protesting Rex Energy, he was apparently employed by MMC Land Management:

Today, we were disgusted to learn that one of MMC’s former employees used racial slurs and made racially charged…

Let this serve as a reminder to everyone that hate speech is not “free speech.” The man was fired within 24 hours of this video going viral:

Who’s unemployed now? Throughout the video you can hear the man harping on photojournalist Tom Jefferson and anti-fracking activists for allegedly not having a job. What a swift kick to the teeth that must have been – one day he’s out harassing people and shaming them for supposedly being unemployed, and the next day his sorry ass is canned.

Kudos to everyone who helped share this story and make it happen. John Pisone has apparently de-activated his Facebook account, although his photos are searchable on Google images.

The victim of this attack, Tom Jefferson, is a photojournalist with a focus on social justice and climate change. Click here to support his upcoming documentary “The Way We Live.”

2025 is a milestone year and we want to give a huge THANK YOU to all of our supporters who have been in the trenches with us for the past 25 years. A lot of groups and people we have dealt with since we started are long gone: Richard Barrett, Matt Hale, the Minutemen and others! But we are still here fighting the good fight, contending with the new generation's version of hate politics. There are trying times ahead, but we believe our reality would be even worse if we did not come together to do this work. If you value the research and reporting that we have done at One People’s Project and Idavox- and you want to see it continue- we hope you will consider helping to keep our mission fired up.

This is how a Trump supporter acts, thinks, and talks, like the ignorant racist buffoons they are.

congratulations on the best possible outcome that this ignorant, racist fool could have received from his rant against peaceful protestors. Whatever he learned from his parents obviously didn’t prepare him for a role in society as a responsible and intelligent adult.
