Are you fricking kidding me, DEATH THREATS! To a kid! That is absolutely insane. And being encouraged by nutjob adults! People should be ashamed of themselves.



Oh I agree. People are idiots. And it's situations like this that shows exactly how dangerous social media can be.

As for as the death threats, anyone who takes something that doesn't involve them specifically, so personal that they decide to send death threats are useless. People send death threats to players if they cost their team a game, to coaches, etc, etc.

But as for as this situation, whatever media outlet first reported it should take responsibility for reporting it, but that's the world we live in. It's not about what actually happened, it's about what can get more clicks, retweets, likes, etc.

Something else that is lost in all this is the original video. It was obviously edited to make it look like the kid was the one completely in the wrong. So whoever made that video intentionally misled the viewer.

If anything happens to this kid, the person that made the video should be held accountable.

When you have a group of Catholic school teenage males, it is hard to think that they are completely innocent.


Why?




Because they are teenagers. Come on man, I have no idea about these kids in this situation, but in general, you know if you put a group of teenage males together they are likely to get into something. Were you and all of your friends well behaved teenagers when yall were together?

As i said before, where is the outrage???? I think we ALL know why there isn't a peep about it from MSM, libtards


That video is the typical mindset of some, if not most democrats. Constantly the man filming the video calls the kids racist for wearing MAGA hats, yet he repeatedly spews racist slangs at them, makes fun of their skin color, while saying they are probably going to shoot up a shcool one day. A grown adult bullying high school students only to make himself feel better......go figure.

Maybe they are investigating like they, and everyone involved, should have done in the first place. You are a person that is full of hate. The division in this country is fueled by people like you. And I mean on both sides of the political divide. It is unreal how people beg for moments of hate, just to fuel their own agenda. And then, come to find out, you were wrong. And made the world a little worse off. Good job!

Wow you have gleaned a lot from brief snippets on an anonymous online forum. That would be like me assuming you are an aggrieved, smug, entitled white person.

Having looked at additional info, there were several bad actors. In fact, perhaps these tomahawking students weren’t the worst. Never said they should be expelled, denied college admission, or receive death threats. Yes there are sick people of all political stripes. While I have an inexpressible amount of sadness in my heart at the sight of young, presumably Christ-seeking youth wearing Donald Trump hats, I don’t want to see these students’ lives permanently affected. There is a lesson to be learned. Of course, in this age of banal social media, there is overreaction on both sides.

Not what everything you have linked indicates. People all trying to ruin this kid's life and you support these articles. A kid stood and didn't react to being confronted by an ADULT and people are calling for his murder. How can you even think that is ok? You should stop.

I didn’t realize providing information implied endorsement.

I said the students looked like smug little pricks and I didn’t like a Native American elder, and war veteran much less, mocked. That opinion hasn’t changed.

No expulsion, no death threats. (I don’t think anyone should ever receive death threats for anything, ... even NFL refs.)

I agree that this whole thing got out of hand, people with an agenda used this to push their own preconceived narrative.

Only way to keep it from happening again is for Chicken to ban everyone with the names Jeff in their username.

To really be safe he should just ban every one with the word Tiger in their username as well.

That way free speech wont interrupt our fun

Yes, people with multiple agendas have pushed multiple narratives, including the woe is me, nobody’s seen the troubles I’ve seen, aggrieved, put upon, angry white male.
