This is absolutely wrong, WTF is going on?

[kingjelly]

I don't know what it is. I do know as I dig deeper into the story there are legit questions to ask. The guy who took the picture, an adult retired teacher, says there is nothing malicious here. A little reasoning easily leads one to conclude that a "still photograph" where everyone is told to wave could be construed as something other than a wave, especially considering the poisoning of the well with the "apparent" Nazi salute captioning being done by all media outlets. Add in the single complaint by the politically active kid who has had issues with his classmates prior to this. Plenty of reasons to be skeptical.
I don't make investments on attention grabbing headlines. Yes, headlines can move a market. That's a trade. Investments require more investigation. The media is in the business of moving the herd one way and then another. We should not be committing our long term political perspectives based upon headlines anymore than we should invest that way. The unwashed masses are being manipulated. Both sides do it, and it's how they sway the votes in the short term which is all anyone thinks about these days.
Bottom line, this story doesn't add up to be what it's being presented to be, at least not at this point.

Yes, yes nothing malicious to see here...

let's cut the bullshit once and call it what it is.
here is what started the story:
"The image, which was first posted by the Twitter handle @GoBaraboo at 8:56 p.m. on Sunday, November 11, showed a group of over 50 young white males using the Nazi salute while posing for junior prom photos. The photo was posted with the caption “We even got the black kid to throw it up #barabooproud.” The tweet was reportedly deleted a short time later."
this is the screenshot from twitter

here are some pictures of people waving, for more just google pictures of people waving. those kids are not fucking waving.

Stupid kids doing stupid shit. They will all regret this as the picture will follow them for life.

The lib media of course loses its mind over this, but when other “youths” are playing the “knockout game”, flash mobbing and looting a convenience store, and shooting each other by the dozens every week in American cities the media couldn’t give a shit.

P.S.- it’s not MAGA you TDS toolbag. Trump isn’t to blame for everything you don’t like in the world.
Go find your blanky and take a nap snowflake

So whites are unfiarly protrayed by the media?

Look at this poor kid. Short fat and bald at 18.
I think he was the ringleader here (he looks 40'ish), cause he's definitely not makin waves with the cheerleading squad.
I wonder what his prom date looked like.

I agree, lets cut the bullshit and go straight to the chase. Let us say for the sake of argument that this group of young men did in fact display a Nazi salute. Offensive? Yes. Illegal? Not IMO. The real question is, do they, or do they not have the right to display such gestures? If they don't, then that's a problem. Is freedom of expression a one way street? If the Antifa/BLM punks can burn a flag, then these dopes can give the Nazi salute. Are we to determine what's legal and illegal based solely on what one group finds offensive. That's a bad path IMO.
I will still reserve judgment, although it's looking like these dumbasses were throwing some Nazi love. Is some full fledged investigation warranted? Why, to what end? Investigations seems to be all we can accomplish in this country. Coming to a conclusion that these kids were being stupid doesn't fix the potholes and crumbling infrastructure.

Hope is not lost for the youths. I know a guy from high school who showed up for his school year book picture dressed and groomed as Hitler. He is now a local politician.

Edited: After further research, he is facing a murder charge in a stand your ground case. Good luck with that photo boys!

This is so fucking funny.
High school kids make the Heil sign? Trump’s fault.
Forest fire in California?
Trump’s fault.

I think that you are mixing a few things here. the issue is that these morons are doing this on the school's dime. That is why an investigation is warranted. there is no freedom of the speech or expression at the school since you need to follow and adhere to the school's rules and policies, especially public schools that are funded by taxpayers money. They do not have the right to do a Nazi salute in school (same as many other things that kids can't do at school).
as for Antifa or BLM, I don't think there are any schools out there advocating for them.
What we're doing here is to determine if this crap happened supervised and why a public school allows such a behavior.

Agreed that this should not be happening under school supervision. We'll see what happens, but in the end it will just be confirmed that some people, especially young people, do stupid stuff. Again, I agree this kind of behavior being done at school under adult supervision should be addressed. Seems like we're in a race to the bottom in this country.
