The family of Kaylee Gain, a Missouri girl who was critically injured during a fight 10 days ago near a St. Louis high school, said Monday she has suffered a fractured skull and hasn’t regained consciousness.

“The full scope and extent of Kaylee’s injuries and prognosis for recovery cannot be determined until, with God’s grace, she regains consciousness,” attorney Bryan Kaemmerer, a spokesperson for Gain’s family, said in a statement.

Video shows the 16-year-old was punched during an altercation near Hazelwood East High School on March 8.

Nearly nothing you said is true because it was predicated on the above situation and my comment you replied to.

Being called a racial slur is not a reason to us violence.

Further, my comment never implied anything inconsistent.

"Source? Or mods should remove misinformation.

If she did say it, violence is never right, nor is hate speech"

In this comment I called for information confirming a racial slur was used. Then, I state that even if it was, the victim of that hate speech was not in the right to use physical violence as a response. Lastly, I make clear I'm not giving a pass on hate speech, as it is always wrong.

Edit my statement "violence is never right" is specific to the situation of response to hate speech, essentially non self defense

The word never is not for singular occurrences lmao.

But whatever 5 page bullshit narrative you need to weave to feel better, have at it.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm speaking about a specific situation and clarify it in my statement. So basic critical thinking makes clear the scope of my discussion. Sorry this confused you.

Anyway, your hostility is super uncivil.

Sorry you expect people to read your mind instead of your words.

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?

Your comment is junk.

So basic critical thinking makes clear the scope of my discussion. Sorry this confused you.

Don't be a hostile prick if you don't want a hostile chat. Of course, you cry victim after being disrespectful to everything said to you.

🥱 cya

Edit you wanted to rant about stabbings and corporations rather than asking for clarification

[–] nac82@lemm.ee -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao, can't even stop changing the comments after saying bye.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Am I not free to do so? I used an edit catch, which is proper form on a message board.

Do you feel the urge to respond with violence to my words?
