    Has this case presented itself in this thread?

    It's awful.

    Unbelievable.

    I wish you had not beat me to posting that though, now some obsessive leftist is going to accuse me of complaining about white genocide or how gun laws only apply to non-whites.
    It's on you to show you think differently than what you post in here. At least you're thinking about it.

    All you have to do is go back to page 1 of this thread.  It is pretty easy to find.

    Links to police abuse don't reference what you said about white genocide.

    What's he supposed to see?
  • Unsung may have made some off-hand comment- I didn't review the thread to find it and I don't care to. I've read 1000 of his posts. I know where he's at. He's different than me, but that's okay. His perspective is important and I don't see him hurting anyone on any level.

    If anyone has followed his posting history, they'll know that Unsung is not of the unsavoury ilk that views minorities with disdain unless that minority is an individual worthy of disdain (or if any form of government could be considered one).

    His blunt nature does not make him part of the problem as much as some want to make him out to be.

    If openly stating the you fear elimination of the white race and then follow it up with how you don't want to subsidize it doesn't reveal your true character, then I don't know what does. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and flies like a duck, by golly, it's a duck.

    In the first 18 pages of this thread, Unsung expressed more outrage and disgust for the police killing of dogs than he did for minority victims of police brutality, of any kind. His bias is clear for anyone wishing to see it.

    He's been pretty consistent bashing cops regardless of who the victims were.

    He loves dogs and posted photos of them. 

    I still haven't seen that post. It doesn't sound fantastic standing by itself, but in what context was it offered?

    There are people who are blatantly racist that have been in these parts. As kooky as he can get, I'm not convinced Unsung is one of those people. He speaks to accountability and personal responsibility versus hatred and disdain.

    Anyways... I'm done defending him. I think he has a legitimate point re: liberal extremism demonstrating itself poorly though.

    A follow up story with some nice photos of the suspect out of control and then being arrested. What a great guy. This is the type of person that low life giraffe killer should be allowed to hunt and then be hunted himself to close the circle of life.

    Agreed.

    A low life that not only deserved, but needed a serious beat down: killing people, punching police, and running around like an animal.

    I used to debate the DP with a good buddy who opposed it. His suggestion was an island like the one of Ray Liotta's movie, No Escape. Just dump all dirtbags on to the island and let them be free to run around like the animals they are. Seemed fair to me.

    Harass a kid?

    He had an audio of him having sex with a classmate and was showing it to his friends. I'm pretty sure the classmate was unaware of the audio and reported it- looking for the damaging clip to be controlled so that it didn't ruin her socially (at least to some degree). 

    This case represents why authorities are necessary, Unsung.

    The kid seems fine, but as I'm well aware of in incidents such a situation these... the media portrays the offender as an angel. He likely was a good kid, but don't hook, line and sinker buy the persona the story wishes to sell you. Ultimately, he produced child pornography and was showing it to his friends. If I'm the parent of the girl (assuming it was a girl)... I want something done about that.

    Nobody wished for the kid to go jump off a parkade, but geezuz... authorities can't even question a kid at school without an attorney or parents there? You are the one demanding less bureaucracy in our lives, yet here you're insisting on more.

    all of it.  is this really a question? the kid produced child porn and the threat by the school and authorities was real. 
  • oftenreadingoftenreading Posts: 12,845
    I absolutely agree that there was no justification for the police to interview the kid without his parents present. There was no emergency that necessitated that, and absent an emergency they legally have to at least make efforts to contact the parents prior to a police interview. This was an abuse. The outcome, of course, was unpredictable and completely unexpected, but even if the kid had done nothing afterward and was still alive and walking around, it would still have been an abuse.

    If you guys had any idea the depth of research on false confessions and manipulated evidence when police deal with minors or other vulnerable individuals, I'm guessing you would also be concerned.

    Except in this case, there was no false confession.

    The kid turned his phone over to the authorities and the damaging audio was seize dead before it was transferred to someone else or erased- saving the kid from facing the consequences of his actions which were nothing outside of some stern words.

    It is challenging to control events such as these so that people involved are not hurt (see any number of the teen suicide cases where girls have killed themselves for the shame and abuse they receive having been the subject of such material). So, sorry for not jumping on board with a lengthy legal process to procure a phone and stop a kid from sharing a sexual encounter with his buddies.

    Don't turn my comments into something they are not, Thirty.

    I am fine with the kid being called to the office. I'm fine with him being told he is going to be questioned by police.  I'm fine with him being told to hand over the phone. All of that stops any further sharing in its tracks. What I am absolutely not fine with is him being questioned and threatened by police without his parents' knowledge and without then being given the opportunity to be present to help deal with this.

    Some of you are so awfully cavalier about the authority of police.
