Some pussies in this thread. If he’s white, that matters to some. If he’s black it matters to others. Toughen up. Your feaux outrage is silly.

Looks like she's going nuts on twitter trying to track down and hound ANY STUDENT from the school who posts about it. That seems about as skeezy to me as you can get in and of itself. frick her.

You can't edit Tweets. Make a Twitter account yourself, make a Tweet, try to edit it. You can't. You can only delete them.

I think the reporter was in a rush and didn't think through the order of her sentences. My guess is her goal was to ask "was he white?" just to get any kind of description. Then the bigger question was "Did you see the shooter? Do you have a description? If so I have questions for you."

Yeah she was in a rush to use traumatized (from a few hours ago) high school kids to get her scoop. Regardless of whether the white part was used or not she’s still a monster.

could she have deleted the tweet and sent a new one? I'm not sure how the twitter thing works but sounds like she could do that

I read that as I don’t have any questions if he was not white.


More like, we're not going to cover this at all if he was black, Muslim or Latino.

So they edited 30 minute old tweet with 1 RT and 0 likes from a reporter with 2,500 followers?

Right.

Sure. You can believe "a massive heretofore undisclosed conspiracy requiring Twitter to micromanage the feeds of every single beat reporter for every single newspaper and bail them out for embarrassing Tweets" is more likely than "some troll edited a screenshot." I'm not here to bash anyone's religion.

Within a minute? The screenshot and the tweet referenced have the same timestamp. It's possible but unlikely.

it's almost like the whole platform isnt run using by accessing a database with multiple linkages that can be sorted and edited using code.

I mean, what is this, computers! Right Losh!

She clearly edited when she started getting backlash.
Both tweets appear to be at 5:26 Eastern, 2:26 Pacific.

To be fair, the kid isn’t too traumatized to run to twitter to let everyone know they were there.
