Yes. It’s against the law to racially abuse someone.
Definitely. But I question the intelligence of a 12-year-old to use the drunk excuse. Doens't make sense to me.
No but the minimum age for arrest is 10. They have been child criminals though such as John Venables and Robert Thompson.
I believe the UK has strict laws about this kind of thing on social media, so being arrested is de rigueur.
Yes. Otherwise what’s going to stop people.
Ok boomer
Please consider reading what @patty123 posted again. No comparison between a 12 year old and an 82 year old is being made. Regardless, I do agree that parants should police their childrens use of social media, even though they shouldn't be on it.
Apologies. I misread his post. Edited mine.
Has the misfortune to spend a year commuting to work using buses that served about 4 different schools. My opinion of kids nosedived considerably in that period.
Bit of a long haul flight to do that. But still minorities are not excluded from immigration, regardless of how people interpret what is said by any politician.
Not aiming this at you specifically, but people really need to get it through their heads that saying something to someone on the internet is the same as saying it to them in person, or calling them over the phone and saying it. People have twisted it to try to make it out as if posting something online is lesser than doing so in person, but it's really not the case considering the internet is the major communication medium these days. Saying things on the internet should carry the same weight as saying something in person, and all the consequences that come along with it.
What a load of nonsense
Did you get that from Suits?'Its only the internet' stopped being a thing many years ago. Commenting on the internet is the same as speaking verbally to someone in person.
It sounds nice and all that, but then every kid will do this sort of thing, just to meet famous footballers / their idols.
Yeah that'll go well.
I can see Pogba would be top of their list as well.Yeah, I'm sure that will really improve his development...
Scared straight! Sometimes works.
Good riddance
If twitter, facebook and instagram all agreed then people would have no choice
That's incredible. I remember watching Homeland where there was like this 'data farm' ......a company that employed hundreds of people just for posting stuff from thousands of fake accounts in order to influence opinions and ultimately elections. Its probably not that far from the truth.
This!
At least on instagrams in Asia, it's common for a "nobody" to have followers of 100,000s.
Agree with this. I am white British, but was born with a bit of completion, So I generally look like I have always just got back from a tanning holiday. Throught out all my school life, any disagreements with other similarly age people would end with remarks about being a fake White, my dad ran off back to Pakistan ect.Thinking back to my own Year 7/8 class, I can easily imagine a decent percentage of the kids taking the opportunity to be an edgy little shithead like this if social media existed in its current form and they thought they could get away with it. It's not a case of this one devil child.
Social media allows any fecker with an undeveloped brain and sense of empathy (often but not always age-related - see: current White House incumbent) to fling any kind of shit that pops into their heads far and wide. It's not just what 12 year old edgelords broadcast to the world that they think is going to get the biggest reaction, either. The shit the relatively 'normal' little scrotes are sending to and about each other is, measurably, fecking them all up:
The solid red line is the self-harm rate for teenage girls. Shoots all the way the feck up after around 2010. This graph represents the UK, but this is repeated across all countries in the developed world. Social media is just fecking cancer.
Reading about this story here at first was shocking. But, honestly what other method is there to curb racism in general than to make it known once and for all that decent society is over it? And if you insist in being an antagonistic racist. Or pretending to be in order to wind up a player or, be a bully etc. There are consequences.
There's a fecking huge difference between criticizing the government and racially abuse someone.
Haha, is that so?
You can practically just search for the moderate-left politician Nancy Pelosi for this material. She annoys them more than any right-winger.
Is actually making progress in this regard. That shit has always been going on, the public (and that's all of us) just didn't care enough collectively.2020
