What is the problem with "blog posts"? It's unforunate, but that is the main source of "real news" today.
Any town crackhead can make a blog post buddy. It's no wonder you're so miserably ill-informed on every political subject.
That source I gave was not a "blog"
It's literally called "Powerline blog," is structured as a blog, and it links to a Breitbart video at the end. Sources hardly get any sketchier than that.
I never said I hated social media. I hate that it's been overrun by hateful, racist, xenophobic, left leaning individuals who only want to let people with the same way of thinking use the services while shutting down everybody else.
Yeah, 8chan, Voat, and Stormfront are totally full of conservatives with messages of unity and love to spread. I could've mistook any of the posters there for Marianne Williamson.
Your gaslighting is cute, but I'm not sure who you think it's fooling.
It's odd how people with your mindset always attack the real victim in these stories because they're not on "your side" of politics.
Did you expect this teen to post a disclaimer video explaining that he was about to post a innocent gun video? "Hey guys, this video I'm about to post is not suggestive, in any way, of a threat for violence to anybody or to promote gun violence. Please understand."
He's a "victim" of temporary inconvenience. Most high school kids would welcome a two-week break from school anyway. Innocent, unarmed people get killed by police near-daily, so I'm sorry if my sympathy in this case is lacking. Also, leftists buy guns too, his political affiliations were not the issue here.
And yeah, it doesn't need to be that long-winded, but any sort of disclaimer would've prevented the entire misunderstanding.
Oh, cry me a river. He posted a video of him shooting a gun and didn't put it into context that you approved of? It's not like he was shooting pictures of his teachers and other students. Then he gets accused of being a possible dangerous individual which causes his school to ban him, and you think he was in the wrong?
The school certainly bares some of the responsibility for a slight overreaction, but when a student/teacher/parent reports something like this, they can't exactly ignore it either.
You cannot assume that this will not ruin his life either as he will always have this situation follow him. He will be known in his community as that "likely school shooter who got caught beforehand".
I think you underestimate how many stupid teens do stupid stuff on a daily basis. It'll follow him for a couple months at most, and then another kid at the school will get in deep shit for something else, or there will be an actual mass shooting on the news, and he'll be forgotten about.
This whole situation of people on social media being the judge, jury, and executioner needs to stop. Leave punishments to the court system where they belong. Social Credit Systems are not good for anyone even for the people who run them because the system they create will eventually turn on them, too.
Social media has no power on its own, it was the school that wielded the power in this case, and in most cases it's the police that wield the power. It falls to them to determine what is and isn't a credible threat.
