Is Jimmy Galligan a hero, or a psychopath?

Kid gets a snapchat of a high school freshman girl singing along to a rap song that has the n-word. He then decides to hold onto the video for 3 years, and post it with the expressed goal of preventing her from getting into college.

NYT writes an article calling him a hero, and the act a racial comeuppance.

Sounds like he had a personal vendetta so I’m going to go with psychopath that was probably rejected by her.

Anybody who spends time and effort tracking what teenagers do, other than their parents, has something wrong with them.

This includes the people who dug up Kavanaugh’s yearbooks.

She wouldn’t give him sexual favors so he tried to blackmail her but she still didn’t do it.

Not reading the NYT article, but what is the problem if she was just singing the lyrics of a song someone else wrote? It is a fricked up world we are living in.

If she is singing along to a rap song and that N word is part of the lyrics, what is the problem?

The problem would be with the song.

Probably was his last name and all the teasing he likely got that led to the "psycho path".

That’s not what the article says.

quote:

Ms. Groves said the video began as a private Snapchat message to a friend. “At the time, I didn’t understand the severity of the word, or the history and context behind it because I was so young,” she said in a recent interview, adding that the slur was in “all the songs we listened to, and I’m not using that as an excuse.”

I was feeling bad for her until reading this...
quote:

The next month, as protests were sweeping the nation after the police killing of George Floyd, Ms. Groves, in a public Instagram post, urged people to “protest, donate, sign a petition, rally, do something” in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.


...now I’m thinking “let them fight”.
Fuq her.

She was singing along with a song, and sent it to a friend. Friend shared it

The video was out there, supposedly.

I haven't seen it, going off 2nd hand descriptions.
