The chat was allegedly created by a group of 8th-grade students and involved some of the juveniles expressing “hateful and racist comments" and a mock slave auction.
Six juveniles in Massachusetts were charged in a racial online bullying incident that involved “heinous” language, threats of “violence toward people of color” and a mock slave auction, the district attorney for Hampden County said.
Students from Southwick, about 104 miles southwest of Boston, allegedly participated in a “hateful, racist online” Snapchat discussion between Feb. 8 and Feb. 9, Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni said in a statement on Facebook.
Gulluni said he became aware of the incident on Feb. 15 and immediately called on the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit to investigate.
On Thursday, at the conclusion of the investigation, the district attorney authorized members of the Detective Unit and the Chief of the Juvenile Court Unit to pursue criminal charges against the juveniles.
Who were they pretending to auction and threatening violence against? Pretty sure those are the victims.
There are three possibilities, presupposing the threats are real:
So any way you slice it, this article is hot garbage.
Are you one of those people that say girls aren’t victims when fake porn is made of them and distributed so long as it’s never distributed directly to them?
No. Are you?
No, but I also haven’t made comments like yours that display a profound lack of understanding for what constitutes a victim.
Point 2 is incredibly flawed.
I’d ask “in what way?”, but you already refused to elaborate, so it feels counterproductive.
I did not refuse to elaborate. You’re arguing in bad faith consistently.
Yeah dude, those are literally the only three possible scenarios 🙄
Name a fourth.
Logic isn’t your strong suit, is it?
