let's cut the bullshit once and call it what it is. here is what started the story: "The image, which was first posted by the Twitter handle @GoBaraboo at 8:56 p.m. on Sunday, November 11, showed a group of over 50 young white males using the Nazi salute while posing for junior prom photos. The photo was posted with the caption “We even got the black kid to throw it up #barabooproud.” The tweet was reportedly deleted a short time later." this is the screenshot from twitter here are some pictures of people waving, for more just google pictures of people waving. those kids are not fucking waving.
Look at this poor kid. Short fat and bald at 18. I think he was the ringleader here (he looks 40'ish), cause he's definitely not makin waves with the cheerleading squad. I wonder what his prom date looked like.
I agree, lets cut the bullshit and go straight to the chase. Let us say for the sake of argument that this group of young men did in fact display a Nazi salute. Offensive? Yes. Illegal? Not IMO. The real question is, do they, or do they not have the right to display such gestures? If they don't, then that's a problem. Is freedom of expression a one way street? If the Antifa/BLM punks can burn a flag, then these dopes can give the Nazi salute. Are we to determine what's legal and illegal based solely on what one group finds offensive. That's a bad path IMO. I will still reserve judgment, although it's looking like these dumbasses were throwing some Nazi love. Is some full fledged investigation warranted? Why, to what end? Investigations seems to be all we can accomplish in this country. Coming to a conclusion that these kids were being stupid doesn't fix the potholes and crumbling infrastructure.
Hope is not lost for the youths. I know a guy from high school who showed up for his school year book picture dressed and groomed as Hitler. He is now a local politician. Edited: After further research, he is facing a murder charge in a stand your ground case. Good luck with that photo boys!
This is so fucking funny. High school kids make the Heil sign? Trump’s fault. Forest fire in California? Trump’s fault. You insane stupid fucking leftists realize you are all deranged fucking lunatics???
I think that you are mixing a few things here. the issue is that these morons are doing this on the school's dime. That is why an investigation is warranted. there is no freedom of the speech or expression at the school since you need to follow and adhere to the school's rules and policies, especially public schools that are funded by taxpayers money. They do not have the right to do a Nazi salute in school (same as many other things that kids can't do at school). as for Antifa or BLM, I don't think there are any schools out there advocating for them. What we're doing here is to determine if this crap happened supervised and why a public school allows such a behavior.
Agreed that this should not be happening under school supervision. We'll see what happens, but in the end it will just be confirmed that some people, especially young people, do stupid stuff. Again, I agree this kind of behavior being done at school under adult supervision should be addressed. Seems like we're in a race to the bottom in this country.
