Man gets fired for racist gesture, but he says he was just cracking his knuckles; accuser changes tune - TheBlaze

Man gets fired for racist gesture, but he says he was just cracking his knuckles; accuser changes tune - TheBlaze:

Cafferty told KNSD that he was simply cracking his knuckles.
"I do that a lot when I'm driving," he said. "It has no racist intent behind it."
Shortly after the tweet with his image went viral, Cafferty was suspended from his job and told that an investigation was underway. A few days later, SDG&E gave him a pink slip and sent him packing.
Cafferty was flummoxed, telling KNSD, "When my supervisor said that I was being accused of doing a white supremacist gesture, that was baffling."
"I was confident that I would be able to — with my character — show SDG&E that I'm not a racist," he added.
"It's scary that you can be charged, tried, and convicted on social media without your permission, without no corroborating evidence of any type," he said.
