I've seen nothing but an effort to show full context to the story for maybe the last 48 hrs on networks, but here we are stuck on the same outrage narrative. You wanna make instant news..hold your phone up and watch the networks clamour to keep up. Funny thing about instant 'news'..it develops and unfolds from multiple views. The young man put himself in a position to be center focus. He maintained an almost defiant position but I don't think he had a clue what he was standing for. Another man thought he was moving to defuse a potential situation and voiced his opinions. Young dude should not be vilified but he should also not be cast as some cap wearing singular victim. He's just another viral media event counting off 15 minutes. I heard racial slurs lobbed at 4 different ethnicities on that vid. If anything it was a generational learning opportunity but all there was cemented defiance and judgement.
