Shenanigans, just like everyone expected.

The boy, from Atlantic County, was charged by Gloucester County authorities with bias and intimidation and harassment in connection with the episode last Sunday. If convicted, he could face up to a year in a juvenile detention center, officials said.

And this right here is why were f*cked. As a country I mean. Sure, the kid was a jerk. And yeah, he was out of line. But a possible jail term?

All this does is drive home the point others have made - the cops are not our friends. say NOTHING to a cop. Don't give your name, don't nod, don't agree, don't shake hands...nothing. walk away from them, and if they persist, then ask for a lawyer. Say. NOTHING.

WTF is this shiat? Making a single fake announcement equates to harassment? And were people actually intimidated by this?

Not that this kid did anything right or good, but these charges are specious

I wonder if the local DA is up for re-election or something. the only way this makes sense is if someone is looking to use this incident to further their political career.

While no concrete evidence, this case and other like it make me suspect that 1. There is a back door to every face book profile out there, and its searchable.

2. The cops will use this backdoor in every case that involves people stupid enough to brag on face book about it. Which is 90% of them.
 
2010-03-20 07:41:11 PM
Let me put this crime in its proper context.

THAT SOCIAL DEVIANT IS WORSE THAN HITLER! HE SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT, KILLED, CHOPPED INTO LITTLE BITS AND FED TO THE WOLVES!

I can't wait until Al Sharpton gets involved.
 
2010-03-20 07:41:13 PM
Wow, some kid can get more media outrage at doing some assholeish prank like that than he would get by killing a bunch of people.

Britney Spear's Speculum: Shenanigans, just like everyone expected.

Yeah, I posted in the original thread that the instructions on how to use the paging system are taped next to all the phones in the store. I used to go to WalMart to buy fabric but there'd never be anyone at the cutting table, so would have to page for someone every time.

Wal Mart kindly informed the city council that they would greatly appreciate it if the police would prove it wasn't one of their employees.

All kneel before Wal Mart...

That's it.

ATTENTION FARKERS, ALL BLACKS MUST LEAVE THE INTERNET NOW! THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

/will be waiting for the cops
 
2010-03-20 07:44:44 PM
So to review: Locking overnight cleaning staff in the store in violation of fire codes and general sanity = no charges.

Being a dumbass racist punk kid = 1 year in Juvi

Glad to see our courts work.

you say nothing until the cop blocks you from leaving and says he's gonna arrest you. then you say 'I want a lawyer' and STFU 'till you get one.

How about instead of jail, they just tell the kid not to do it anymore. Teenagers are dumbasses, we don't need to jail them over it.

Just morans trying to capitalize on fake-outrage, this story has sounded like a non-incident from day one.

/Shouldn't he be being charged for trespassing/abusing Walmart property? Certainly sounds more like a real crime than "bias intimidation"
 
2010-03-20 07:49:19 PM
Whew I feel safer already now that the kid will be off the streets for a year.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. That's just the maximum penalty the dumb little shiat could receive. If taking Criminal Justice has taught me anything, it's that people usually get off a lot more easily than they should. The media just likes to announce the harshest possible punishment to 1.) get a rise out of people like you and 2.) make other people feel like justice will be served. I, for one, think they just just stab him. Nowhere fatal, mind you, just somewhere that will cause enough pain to teach him a lesson, but will still allow him to remain functional. Perhaps in his non-dominant shoulder. Quick, (not unbearably) painful, and easily treated.

voodoowizard: Whew I feel safer already now that the kid will be off the streets for a year.

Gee. let's hope there won't be any racial bias in the prison system. I mean...we wouldn't want the kid to learn the wrong thing about integration.
 
2010-03-20 07:51:14 PM
Awesome to see that "bias" is now a crime. Can't wait for them to start rounding up and incarcerating the Fark Independents.

I'd wager $500 that the 16 year old sounded like a complete idiot while making the announcement and didn't sound like any employee of the store. Everyone probably shrugged their shoulders because of his idiocy except one "justice crusader" that was outraged because he felt that others might be outraged.

Funny how 'say nothing' is so conditional. But then again, if you really distrust them that much, how will asking for a lawyer help?

As much as I agree with keeping your claptrap shut when the cops are around how in the f*ck does your rant relate to this story?
 
2010-03-20 07:55:14 PM
I wonder what would have happened if a white kid said "all white people kindly leave the store." Would he receive the same punishment? Isn't the system that deems his actions racist racist? Meh. Who cares.
 
2010-03-20 07:55:34 PM

If a black kid did that they'd call in the amber lamps after the cops found him on YouTube.

How about instead of jail, they just tell the kid not to do it anymore. Teenagers are dumbasses, we don't need to jail them over it.

Problem is how many "mental anguish" lawsuits have already been filed over this.

I say Wal-Mart settles out of court on these and make the little bastard work there until they aew fully paid.

That would never happen though. Black people can't be racist.

There's no way that the black customer's didn't laugh when they heard that.

And there's no way he would be charged with the same thing if he had asked white customer's to leave the store.

i'm sorry, but you misplaced a comma. that obviously invalidates your entire argument. you must now commit ritual suicide in order to regain your family honor.

/seriously dude. WTF.

shadowself: I wonder what would have happened if he had told all white people to leave. I bet the outcome would have been substantially different.

Feeling whiny and oppressed today, are you, honkie? Well tough luck, ofay, you ain't in charge anymore.
 
2010-03-20 07:58:35 PM
What a great way to spend all the extra tax money we have laying around in this country. I'm glad the police and court systems have nothing else to do.
 
2010-03-20 07:59:18 PM
If he'd had kept his mouth shut, none of this would have been a problem. Posting it on Facebook was just as stupid. Are you noticing a theme with this kid? It's not the Police fault, it's not the Blacks fault. Heck, you can't even blame his parents, but...sometimes being cute isn't pretty or funny. Sometimes mouthing off can get you killed. Blaming everyone but that the sillya** is...stupid.

They should probably make him do community service in a poorer neighborhood populated by a large community of black people. Or, perhaps they could let Wal-Mart have him and make him stand out front of the store with a sandwich board saying he was the one that made the announcement. Keep a security guard near by and let people have their way with him verbally. Also, please don't take away his internet access because he is obviously stupid and if he does something like this or worse, he is sure to announce it on his Facebook page. Hurray for stupid people.
 
2010-03-20 08:02:29 PM
Would be better for everybody if he gotten raped and tossed into ring of 20 big black men ready to beat on him.

He punched the entire black community in the face. With his words. That's much worse.
