    This is in extremely poor taste considering what happened to the kid in the picture. That’s what is terrifying, not a vandalism arrest.

    We should oppose fascism without belittling its victims, regardless of which state they’re under.

      I don’t think this is belittling the kid at all. Just pointing out that we’re now doing approximately the same thing at home.

        The kid returned home with brain damage, IIRC. Has that happened to anyone accused of vandalizing the pool?

      The only actual evidence was a blurry video which probably wasn’t even him. He was just a convenient political tool. I remember reading a very detailed breakdown of how the suspect in the video was the wrong height and walked differently.
