Austin Criminal Defense Lawyer Claims Responsibility For ‘Exclusively For White People’ Stickers

Font Size:

The source of mysterious “Exclusively For White People” stickers plastered on Austin storefronts in recent days is an Austin-based criminal defense lawyer.

On Wednesday, some businesses in Austin found themselves at the center of controversy when individuals noticed the stores were sporting stickers that read “Exclusively For White People with a “maximum of 5 colored customers” allowed and “colored BOH [back of house] staff accepted” in their windows. The stickers also displayed the official seal of the Austin government, claiming they were sponsored by the city.

The owners of the targeted businesses were quick to denounce the stickers. The government of Austin denied involvement with the stickers. Local civil rights leaders decried the stickers as racist. A Texas state representative urged people not to shop at stores with the stickers until there was “some explaining.”

Now, a criminal defense attorney, Adam Reposa, is claiming he is responsible for the stickers.

In a YouTube video, a shirtless Reposa appears to be explaining why he placed the stickers on the windows of stores in front of one of the stores he vandalized. In the video, Reposa says the reason why he put the stickers in the store is “pretty clear”: “this area of town is turning into whites only.”

Reposa also reveals that he is upset that people focused on the use of the word “colored” rather than the message of his stickers.

In another video, Reposa says he was calling out “white hipsters” for their gentrification. To his detractors, he states that pointing out racism isn’t racism.

This isn’t Reposa’s first time making headlines. Previously, VICE chronicled Reposa’s edgy legal advertisements. The advertisements include Reposa destroying a car, repeating the phrase, “I’m a lawyer” continuously, and rubbing his body down with oil while making erotic poses and taking close-up crotch shots.

According to information listed on the State Bar of Texas website, the State Bar of Texas licensed Reposa on Sept. 23, 2003.

In 2008, Reposa made a “masturbatory gesture” towards the court while defending a client. The Austin American-Statesman later reported Reposa completed a 90-day sentence for contempt.

As a result of his display in the courtroom, Reposa received a three-year probation of his law license. According to his disciplinary history on the Texas bar website, Reposa received a public reprimand of a fully probated license in 2010 that expired in 2013.

This new stunt could make the criminal defense lawyer face more criminal charges. Austin police say they are looking into the matter.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
