The Kid who smiled...

Has this hit the rest of the world yet? Or was it declared a
non-story before Europe and Asia jumped on it?

This is crazy. Why everyone is so crazy about that?. Despite
that annoying smirk and maga hat you might want to wipe that
smirk with a good punch nothing happening they're just staying
there was no violence or something there was nothing
interesting.

The press took the video and compressed it from the natives and
the "Black Hebrews" harassing the school kids and the indian guy
getting in the kids face to what looks like the kid making fun
of the Indians.
The US Press had a field day with this kid, and he became the
outrage of the moment. His family and the school got death
threats, there was a ton of Tweets from all sorts of famous
people, it really went viral. But when you watch the whole
video WHICH THE PRESS SHOULD HAVE DONE BEFORE REPORTING, you see
the kid is remarkably restrained for a 16 year old. Also you
find the charges the Indian guy made are entirely false, and he
might not even be the "Vietnam Veteran" he claims he is.

I read the news in Japanese when it released for the first time.
The video was not available. He is so religious that he bullied
the man, right? My understanding might be wrong, but I think
that originally, religion help people and never attack people.
The world always doesn't follow a core, simple, pure mind of
religion. Very sad. Who taught this young boy? Who did his brain
washed?
And there seem to be another truth too. It looks complicated.
Fake story, threatening, discrimination. Living in the diversity
is hard.
Like Neal says, press(mess media) should have moral
responsibilities. Sadly they often agitate people to make their
profits.

Every time I see some news like that, I ask myself, "Which story
is true? What do I believe?" One thing that I know is that
people are likely to defame someone without certain reasons.
They just attack the weak to cope with their stress. I'm not
sure about the whole story, but the young boy might be the
weakest in this case.

When you watch the snippet the press first reported it looks
like a "smart bass" white kid, Trump supporter is making fun of
the Indians. The Indian guy also made accusations against the
kid and his school mates that they were chanting things at the
Indians and being insulting.
When you watch the whole video you see the Indian man was lying,
and the kids were being harassed.
It is a symbol of what is going on in this country. The news
drags us from "outrage" to outrage, with no regard for the
truth, especially when the false narrative reflects poorly on
the President or his supporters.

That's exactly what I read in Japanses newspaper. But they
haven't published about the following stuation.

I see. I think it is a result of practicing freedom of speech.
If so, they can do anything unless they break the law in the
country. Freedom, it is a great sprit that Americans have
desired since they become independent, isn't it? Everything
should be simple but humans always make it complicated. I just
think that maybe human's cannot see simplicity due to their
intelligence.

And the internet makes the world complicated too. I think you
know what I mean, Neal, our generation. We didn't have many news
resources. We just had a view from one side. If realible news
paper 'A' says it is an accident, we think it's so. Compared to
those days, now the world has changed significantly. Everyone
can write comments and record videos, so you can see it from
various perspectives. And the result is everone easily gets
crazy and you are annoyed.

It's stories such as this that foments the distrust so many
people have of the media. Too many sites wanted to get the scoop
and didn't bother to look more into this situation. They saw the
short clip of a smirking white boy wearing a MAGA hat and
decided that's all they needed.
