    The article makes it appear as if she called the child a slur for no reason at all.

    She basically did. I don’t see a reason for taking her motives into account whatsoever. If she was a kindergartner you’d say something like “I don’t wanna hear it! You don’t call people that.” and that would be the end of it.

      Whatever happened to “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”?

        Shut the fuck up and kill yourself.

        …did that feel good to be on the receiving end of, or did it hurt?

          Yawn. I’ve heard this so often before it’s lost all impact.

          I already said it’s not an excuse for her behavior but it is important context for the story. The article makes it seem like she called him a slur without any provocation whatsoever. Whether the allegation is true or not is a different story, but it’s definitely leaving out an important detail from the video.

            You could have stopped at “not an excuse”. She used a socially sanctioned word against a child, she revelled in repeating it when questioned, she played victim, claimed doxxing and grifted.

            I wouldn’t care whatever inconvenience she may run into.

            The allegation of theft came from the same person verbally abusing the kid. What possible reason is there to believe her? It’s more likely she was just fabricating an excuse.

              Yeah that’s certainly possible but it’s still unfair reporting to just leave out that part of her story.

          It’s not the words that are hurting you in that case, it’s the people with guns who are enforcing them.
