My daughter was very troubled during her teen years. Thankfully, through medication and therapy, she is WAY better than she was. During one of her episodes, we actually had to call the police. The whole time I wondered if it could somehow escalate to a shooting. As a parent with a kid that's out of control and a danger to themselves and others, what do you do? You need help, but the police aren't necessarily the best medium to provide that help. Not sure what the answer is.

Sad deal. Feel terrible for the parents.

uch a BS diagnosis. If you are a super a-hole in real life go to the shrink once to get diagnosed with this and get a free pass for being a dick to absolutely everyone. I knew a guy who was supposedly diagnosed with Asperger's. I am still convinced it's not a condition, it's just a bad fricking attitude that goes unchecked.


I work with a woman that has Aspergers. She been with us for over 20 years. Hard working, never complains. She is a bit socially awkward but not unpleasant and mostly just keeps to herself. I also have an autistic family member that is a lazy loud mouthed shite head and is a complete a-hole that no one wants to be around.

Kid is white so of course no national news stations are covering this story. Move along people... Nothing to see here.
Well this is just flat out wrong. It’s been widely covered.

That's good to hear. So, not just Fox News? I've obviously been avoiding the news lately.

Yes it has. Just because it doesn’t perpetuate your conceived narrative doesn’t mean it hasn’t.

Excuse me, Mr. Salad, but I believe you misspoke.


It sounds like you're talking about a MOSTLY peaceful protest if things are going to be burned down. That word is key to make it okay in the eyes of the media.




My deepest apologies. I wont make that mistake again.

And why hasn’t any news channel spoken about it on their programs?
You’d think this would be a huge one in the fight against police brutality, no?

Utah police have already released bodycam footage.

Policeman unloads clip on kid then says ‘Show me your hands’

Kid ‘I don’t feel good’

Kid did not have a weapon and was running from cops.

They did. The second link I posted had video from their telecast. There is a ton of video from newscasts if you go through the pages and pages of links on a simple search.

It's being covered by news outlets but there is ZERO interest from the general public. No outrage, no protests, no burning shite or blocking interstates.
But Oh look, he has ONE Facebook page to honor him. 65 whole followers.
