The most common dictionary definition is a filthy or contemptible person.
Dictionary.com says it's slang, but not that those who use it are hateful.
Merriam-Webster doesn't even say it's slang, and makes no mention of those who use it as hateful. Looks like it's a garden variety word to me.
So, unless this guy is not accurately described as contemptible, I don't see how it's hateful. He punched a guy so hard he killed him, over a traffic dispute. He then continued the same behavior, apparently unrepentent for his deeds. Is that not contemptible?
The guy was a dirtbag. A piece of shit. A low life scum bag murdering rageaholic asshole. And now he's none of those things, and that's good.
