Facing up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine after being convicted of a hate crime against a 7-year-old boy and his father, Mark Olic Porter went on a racist rant in court before he was sentenced to nine months in prison Thursday.

Appearing before U.S. District Judge Dee Benson, Porter said African-Americans are pimps, drug dealers, violent and dangerous.

We werent surprised by the defendants statements in the courtroom, because thats who hes proven himself to be, said Dave Backman, chief of the U.S. attorney for Utahs criminal division. It was hard to sit through that hearing because of that.


Porter was arrested after an incident Nov. 3, 2016. As a then-7-year-old boy rode his scooter in the courtyard of a Draper apartment complex where he lived, Porter also a resident yelled, Get out of here, ------!

The boys father, Mike Waldvogel, testified that when he told Porter not to talk to his son that way, Porter yelled, You and your ------ son can get out of here!

Waldvogel said Porter then hit him on the left side of his neck with an electrified Zap Cane, leaving him pretty much incapacitated.

Porter was arrested by Draper police and charged with aggravated assault, along with interference with and assault on police officers as well as intoxication. The state counts were dropped in favor of the federal hate crime charge.

In an FBI body-cam video recorded when Porter was arrested in Arizona (where he moved after the incident) and played in court during the trial, he admits he called the boy a little stinking ------. And he told the FBI agents, Maybe theyll arrest me for my saying this, see, Hitler had the right idea. The wrong people. Should have gassed -------.


how can he not have the maximum sentence imposed? Very sympathetic judge.

With any luck, he'll die in prison, either of old age or in a run-in with another inmate.

That is because the judge agreed with him. He is as racist as the guy making the rant.

Hmm, apparently the Judge is well known for his leniency with a certain type of offender.

So oh Diego give me the reason this guy was giving almost nothing when it comes to jail time. A guy who was not only convicted but then showed no remorse and ranted inside the court room.

Not everything has to do with race. If you can prove the judge is racist, thats cool.

But thats not how you do things. You always yell racism no matter what.

So you don't know what it could be. A KNOWN racist, who goes after kids , then rants in the court room is giving almost not jail time. And yet you say this ruling has nothing to with racism. When you can't give any other reasons why . Do you just like attacking me for some reason. Because from where I am standing this what it seems like. In the face of this bullshit all you have to say is... oh it must have been something else.

This "you call everyone you don't like/disagree with racist/a nazi" rhetoric needs to stop. It's low brow. It's one dimensional. It's shortsighted... and very rarely does it actually apply in context. Anyone who can't think of a more original thought is an embarrassment.

What!? We Trump supporters are not racist as a group. I support him through thick and thin, but I don't have hate for any groups of people (round Earthers don't count as people). Please don't tie racist beliefs to us #MAGA.

Made it far too obvious with this one.

I had to throw a joke in there. I don't hate those people. They're just misguided.
