Someone needs to be held accountable for this level of defamation of a murdered kid who can no longer defend himself against all accusations and assumptions.
I agree, but where should the blame be laid to make anything or anyone accountable? The media articles, social media, or just plain old public opinion?
Besides, this thread isn't about this incident but the pervasive "Us vs Them" mentality that divides everyone, a done deal IMO. You know what I'm saying, if you don't "bend the knee" then you are considered a racist-conservative Nazi, and if you do, then you are a socialist-liberal commie.
The problem in my eyes is that no matter what I say in the public arena, it is scrutinized and run through a formula based on judgemental assumptions to equal "Us or Them" regardless of the content of my statements. If I don't tow the line and echo the mantras, conservative or liberal, I'll get run through the meat grinder and turned into Dunderbeck's finest sausages. That is if I am not out right censored to begin with, even in the most "free speech" platform I can find.
It often gets so bad that I swear that people can't even read what I posted. They don't even twist words, all they see is what they anticipated you would write so they could shut you down with rhetoric. Pointing that out makes it worse every time and is useless.
