okay yes, I don't disagree with you but you're missing the whole point here.
he's 16 years old, brought up in a rich white conservative family, still many people still (blindly) follow the, mind you unfortunately U.S President.
in the eyes of these people, they are patriots because they support their president. they may be very foolish, very misguided, and whatever else you want to label them but the concepts still stand. doing all of this to him, making him a social pariah and doxxing/threatening him only will make him more conservative lol
Why on earth would you focus on the kid and not his environment? How can someone hope to make any sort of strong criticism of Trump's normalization of hateful rhetoric, when they don't seem to understand how normalization works in the first place?
I wonder if they'll go after that Maher bloke too. Pretty sure his wasn't just ignorant kneejerk outrage but he actually slandered the kid about a week after the evidence came out. Could be thinking of someone else though.
The dollar figures are a bit ridiculous but the kid and his family deserve compensation no question. Hopefully forces people to think before they start the outra- nah that isn't going to happen.
Uh, it's got it's similarities? I'd say that analogy stands
No matter how reprehensible his views, he still deserves the same protection from slander as anyone else. I didn't follow the story so I don't know the details but if he feels like the media twisted the truth and made him look like an aggressor when all he was doing was standing there then he is within his rights to sue, whether he gets anything out of it other than a bill for legal fees is a whole different matter.
Trump didn't normalise hateful rhetoric, Trump is just reactionary and a populist.
