Arizona State Law 13-701(D)(15) provides an option for greater penalties at sentencing if a defendant commits a felony out of malice toward a victim based on their perceived "race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender or disability." It probably wasn't applied in this case because this man committed misdemeanors, not a felony.

So bizarre, he owned a native america art store, or at least one that proclaimed to have native american art. Why wig out like this at native americans? How was them dancing in front of your store not good for business?
Why is he acting like a five year old when he looks 79 and as me being a person in law enforcement he wasn’t charged for speaking because he has freedom of speech. He was charged because for disorderly conduct for going at someone physically posing a danger.
Unfortunately this kind of behavior is nothing new to us natives in border towns like Gallup, Farmington NM, Flagstaff, Holbrook, Winslow Az. It's really sad, not for us Indigenous but for slobs like Ortega Jr. We will and have remained resilient for centuries.

I'm tired of seeing people so comfortable in their racism that they are freely displaying it to the world and playing up to the cameras.

If some Native Americans are performing a short ceremony in front of your store why not say " Thank you" and mention how interesting it was? The only time you could claim harrassment is if they performed their ceremony there for 4 hours plus everyday for weeks on end........This was a once-off performance so why not embrace these people and learn something and appreciate that they are adding to the excitement of The Super Bowl........This guy can kiss his art gallery goodbye after how he acted.......I wouldn't shop there.
Darwin’s law of evolution states that the strongest and smartest will adapt to survive; killing one‘s business for being stupid. The guy is an art gallery owner with a store in Scottsdale, Arizona and Gallup New Mexico, is he selling “French Art” or selling Native American artworks?

I'm a Native American Indian myself and that apology that guy said is severely unacceptable. I feel sorry for the other Native Americans who doesn't deserve to be offended by this that man's horrible behavior. 😔
Native Americans need to protest in front of his business and get that punk out of there Native American dance, and culture reflects mother, earth and all creation should respect it
This is bizarre. He sells native art. The gallery is across from a native market. He speaks Navaho. Is the reporter not sure that the gallery owner didn't know the performers and this was more personal than racial?
This makes me sick to my stomach, he thinks he is a super person ? Piece of sh….. Nothing wrong with native dance or culture, just enjoy all of it, learn, experience….
Arizona has an ugly history of murder native people and land stealing . my brother works for the US FOREST DEPT in Northeast Arizona near the apache reservation , the native people never come into Springerville to shop , ,
Another Karen who thinks they're entitled to treat others like dirt. No respect for anyone or anything, not even himself. I'd hate to be a member of his family, and I hope this incident causes him to miss the Superbowl. GO CHIEFS!
What is personal about Ortega Jr. , he absorbed racism into his Being growing up in a racist border town, Gallop NM. He consumed too many old Hollywood westerns growing up. But how do you extricate racist forces from your life when the business established by your father is fixed in a racist town and by law the business and property goes to you if your the only kid? I knew people who had more and still left their racist home towns.
Who says? Did you ever see the old man ripping the Trans city council member in his store? His business quadrupled. A small percentage will not shop there but they didn't plan on shopping there regardless.
Any person who openly taunts any one else over their race or heritage, is so morally bereft, they don't deserve any form of respect! Do your thing, AZ!
Hardly any context and the stuff we can see looks like the defendant was being antagonized to "come on to the street". So we got mocking a culture vs threats of violence, i wonder what people will consider worse?
apparently he was also saying some pretty nasty things in the navaho language during his mock dance. and he had no business interring with the performance at all. he obviously has a grudge against natives.
an that's a shame in America the America people think is so great it is a great land but the inhabitants the trash ones the ole thieves, rapers, genocidal inbreeds war mongers those types make it look farce
He is not native, he said he grew up near the tribe and his family have been involved in native arts trading. Not a good idea to mock the people who’s art you are trying to sell
Lmao ima assume you're white with no clue nor any native friends. Because i do. And they dont care. At all. You're offended for them because you just love being offended.
So did he actually harm anyone? I'm talking physical harm. Emotional harm is your own snowflake problem. Also, He does have the right to make himself look like a fool.
What CONGRESSMAN ken buck said about the Native America Indian Howdy I believe you misspoke we didn't slaughter. We conquered. Hence the same winner-takes-all. Was no different from what tribes did to other tribes concurred for land.
So the Hispanic art gallery owner got upset because a musician who happens to be Native American was performing outside his business, and they wanted to make it about race. I am guessing since it was in front of his business, he would have acted the same way if the musician was Hispanic.
Arizona and Texas Hispanics so desperately want to be white they are willing to do anything to prove themselves. I've seen them do it. It's so sad it's kind of funny.
Apparently you didn't catch the part about him saying really offensive things while talking (poorly) in a Native language. That sounds very targeted to me. Nice try at covering for him though.
He's been charged with three counts of disorderly conduct ! When the native Americans were the ones threatening him ! You're joking right ! What did the native Americans get charged with ?
Nothing. Hate speech isn't protected under the first amendment and never was. Not all speech is protected speech, which is why people can also sue for slander. You're not allowed to say just anything all the time if it's untrue or harmful or intended to provoke harm. Nobody is.
@@tracychristenson177 Who gets to define "hate" speach? Does this apply to everyone or just to whites? I see black people a using racial slurs against Asians and whites, but nothing is done. Is that part of reparations? Hate speech may be offensive and hurtful; however, it is generally protected by the First Amendment. One common definition of hate speech is “any form of expression through which speakers intend to vilify, humiliate or incite hatred against a group or a class of persons on the basis of race, religion, skin color, sexual identity, gender identity, ethnicity, disability or national origin.” Courts have ruled that restrictions on hate speech would conflict with the First Amendment’s protection of the freedom of expression. With these considerations in mind, courts in the United States have found that expression generally cannot be punished based on its content or viewpoint. Thus, although hate speech, alone, receives constitutional protection, any expression that constitutes a true threat, incitement to imminent lawless action is unlawful. Slander lawsuits is a civil matter, nothing to do with police arresting someone and the burdern of proof that you lost your reputation and suffered emotional harm is hard to prove. Doesn't look like any "slander" here. Good luck finding a lwayer willing to take up your case from a guy that probably doesn't have much to sue for. Google is your friend, not woke emotions.
@@greeneyedlady5580 Disorderly conduct is just a BS generic charge they use to arrest someone. The charges are usually dropped and the person may pay a fine. Obvious no crime was committed here. The only crime might have been the person telling him to step out into the street which can be interpreted as inciting violence.
His actions are now being talked about in the Native American population. I don't think Ortega will ever be trusted again and besides I hear that his store in Gallup does real low bidding when buying from Native artists and resells them at a huge price and it's frown upon.
He apologized because he was filmed. If he wasn't filmed he would be denying he said it. He knows he needs to keep a job and for future jobs, so if it's brought up he can say he apologized for it.
His apology is 100% bullsh*t. Hopefully there is something in his lease that he violated and the landlord serves him with eviction. Would be better yet if the landlord has native blood!

A native getting mad at a native? I’m confused..
He is not native, he said he grew up near the tribe and his family have been involved in native arts trading. Not a good idea to mock the people who’s art you are trying to sell
Pretty sure Ortega is not a Native American name
@@CrazyTrainUSA Some hispanics are native (Mexicans). I guess that's why he said a native mad at a native.
He's not Native he's of conquistador decent .
Rude disrespectful
Everyone go and egg his store... 😋
😂😂😂😂😂
The price and availability of eggs these days might be a problem.
@@tracychristenson177 Not if you smuggle'em in from Mexico 😋
Lord God Please Forgive People Who Have So Much Hatred in Their Heart
That's got to be tough with the Chiefs name of football team...and they do the tomahawk chop...so disgusting
Lmao ima assume you're white with no clue nor any native friends. Because i do. And they dont care. At all. You're offended for them because you just love being offended.
Hate crime. Period.
So did he actually harm anyone? I'm talking physical harm. Emotional harm is your own snowflake problem. Also, He does have the right to make himself look like a fool.
It’s B.Kayyy have it YOUR WAY, YOU RULE 👑
What CONGRESSMAN ken buck said about the Native America Indian
Howdy I believe you misspoke we didn't slaughter. We conquered. Hence the same winner-takes-all. Was no different from what tribes did to other tribes concurred for land.
So the Hispanic art gallery owner got upset because a musician who happens to be Native American was performing outside his business, and they wanted to make it about race. I am guessing since it was in front of his business, he would have acted the same way if the musician was Hispanic.
Arizona and Texas Hispanics so desperately want to be white they are willing to do anything to prove themselves. I've seen them do it. It's so sad it's kind of funny.
Apparently you didn't catch the part about him saying really offensive things while talking (poorly) in a Native language. That sounds very targeted to me. Nice try at covering for him though.
HE will be out of business soon , no one wants to be seen buying from a racist , he should go back to TJ
Would've been so funny if he finds out that the ancestry DNA test and say he is 1.1% Native American 😂
@@MissCleo24 Ortega is a Spanish last name. Spanish comes from Spain in Europe not native to America.
His face when I first saw him he looks like a mestizo he has indigenous features and European
Well, bye, bye art gallery.
Step into the street my friend...
And he is likely selling Native American goods - what a hypocrite! 🙄
ORTEGA being racist? Wow no excuse
He's been charged with three counts of disorderly conduct ! When the native Americans were the ones threatening him ! You're joking right ! What did the native Americans get charged with ?
He's gotta be on drugs.
So he’s Mexican? Aren’t we going to talk about Latino privilege?
Hopefully no one goes to this art gallery. This guy acted like an immature jerk.
How dare he mock them while they exploit their own heritage.
Read my handle 👆👍
USA does it all the time 🤣
Envelope people have been showing out a whole lot lately! It’s getting worst and worst and tired of people getting tired of excuses
Poor Uncle Ruckus just couldn't control himself.
Some europeans never learn do they
Charged? Lord, how soft is this country now.
Offending someone is not illegal ! But threatening someone with physical violence is illegal !
I am not condoning his actions, but what happened to the first amendment and freedom of speech?
Nothing. Hate speech isn't protected under the first amendment and never was. Not all speech is protected speech, which is why people can also sue for slander. You're not allowed to say just anything all the time if it's untrue or harmful or intended to provoke harm. Nobody is.
@@tracychristenson177 Who gets to define "hate" speach? Does this apply to everyone or just to whites? I see black people a using racial slurs against Asians and whites, but nothing is done. Is that part of reparations?
Hate speech may be offensive and hurtful; however, it is generally protected by the First Amendment. One common definition of hate speech is “any form of expression through which speakers intend to vilify, humiliate or incite hatred against a group or a class of persons on the basis of race, religion, skin color, sexual identity, gender identity, ethnicity, disability or national origin.” Courts have ruled that restrictions on hate speech would conflict with the First Amendment’s protection of the freedom of expression.
With these considerations in mind, courts in the United States have found that expression generally cannot be punished based on its content or viewpoint. Thus, although hate speech, alone, receives constitutional protection, any expression that constitutes a true threat, incitement to imminent lawless action is unlawful.
Slander lawsuits is a civil matter, nothing to do with police arresting someone and the burdern of proof that you lost your reputation and suffered emotional harm is hard to prove. Doesn't look like any "slander" here. Good luck finding a lwayer willing to take up your case from a guy that probably doesn't have much to sue for.
Google is your friend, not woke emotions.
He wasn't charged for speaking.
@@greeneyedlady5580 Disorderly conduct is just a BS generic charge they use to arrest someone. The charges are usually dropped and the person may pay a fine.
Obvious no crime was committed here. The only crime might have been the person telling him to step out into the street which can be interpreted as inciting violence.
Insult to injury, sorry dude wrong peace pipe. Apology not accepted!
Have respect sir. You did wrong . Very rude.
A Trump supporter....
Good!!!! He deserves what he gets.
He’s Hispanic, Hispanics have Native American.
JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE .AMEN. ✝️😇🙏👍💚💜💛💙
I seen the other and he was saying he was going to f$&@ them
His actions are now being talked about in the Native American population. I don't think Ortega will ever be trusted again and besides I hear that his store in Gallup does real low bidding when buying from Native artists and resells them at a huge price and it's frown upon.
Navajos treat other navajo even worst.
Step into the street my friend.
That's the most polite way to tell someone you are about to rock his jaw I've ever heard.
Like he yelled, he's maga, that type of behavior defines these people.
None of this seems offensive. I'm super confused.
Wow. So comfortable showing racism n hate.
He apologized because he was filmed. If he wasn't filmed he would be denying he said it. He knows he needs to keep a job and for future jobs, so if it's brought up he can say he apologized for it.
I couldn't get a make on what happened because I was completely mesmerized by the beauty of the reporter.
