Eight Horrifying Minutes of Norm Pattis.

Caution: video contains intentionally offensive language.
New Haven attorney Norm Pattis appeared in what was billed as a comedy set in East Haven. Pattis’s routine, which began with him dropping his pants, included frequent references to race and culminated in him saying, in what he appeared to think was his triumphant climax, a racial slur. Pattis appeared to have no concern about his cruelty to a young Black woman in the front row of the tiny room who appeared to become his target.

Alfonso Robinson posted the video on his YouTube channel. He performed a painful public service.
