The WORST kind of shithead is the one who does shitty things because they're technically legal.

The kid in the original video didn't need to walk around school 'protesting' his support of the status quo. He didn't need to act like he was some kind of fucking minority. Then as soon as his actions met any kind of negative (to him) repercussions he was all like "THAT'S ILLEGAL".

And I don't wish pain or injury on him. I just wish him to fuck off. I nothing him. I wish him a future where he can look back upon this episode with shame that he was such a piece of shit at this stage in his life.

But he won't.

The usual shitehawks and grifters will champion him for their own gain, they'll inflate him and make him feel important, and at worst he'll end up becoming a figurehead for the oppressed, silent, majority. A silent majority who I wish would shut the fuck up once in a while.

I'd add to this sentiment-- we must find the state actors behind the epstein operation and do them some violent harm. We need to start standing up for ourselves and our childrens safety without exceptions or cowardice. No one else will demand this for us-- our justice and political systems-- even our party system is breaking down. We're down to pitchforks, media shame, protest signs, and the new black panthers.

Eh, he's just a stupid, edgy kid.
