| What a mess. I actually feel sorry for the bonehead adult accomplice who has his name and photo out there like he’s the poster child for suburban white racism. |
Ya the race of the perp wasn't reported so safe to assume this is just propaganda. It's been clear segregation at the W's is the underlying cause. I sincerely hope the boundary study helps diversify these parts of the county. |
I think you totally missed the point. |
| I think we can be pretty confident in assuming the lawyer representing one of the boys is able to accurately report on their races. |
What a dip, and all the woke leftists who lapped it up with no diligence. Pathetic and cruel. Hope it goes on his record. |
| He’s a juvenile whose vandalism crime is a misdemeanor. There’s a reason our criminal justice system treats kids as kids. The real problem here is the adults in the media and school system who treated this as a white supremacy hate crime before we knew all of the facts and then failed to revisit when new information became available. |
Will wapo cover or update the new information ? I assume most whites and Jews in whitman hs are liberals. Aren't they tired of MSM labeling their kids as racist or white supremacy? |
These hate crimes keep happening at the W's because of the mass segregation. When will the county address this? |
| Please try to follow along. This was NOT a hate crime. Just a stupid attention-seeking stunt. |
A black kid spray painted anti-black graffiti because the country has mass segregation? Are you listening to yourself? |

"The day after the June 13 incident, police informed Whitman’s principal who the three boys were. At that point, county school authorities also knew the truth. For two months, everyone kept the secret from 2000 Whitman families, staff and students, and all Bethesdans. During this time, there were rallies and petitions calling for racial busing, hiring more African-American faculty, revising nationally-ranked Whitman’s curriculum and, of course, for the boys accused of the “lynching” graffiti to be summarily expelled without benefit of due process." |
| NP here. The quoted article is from the Washington Times, but it is not their coverage. It is an opinion piece written by Manuel Miranda, an attorney representing one of the students involved. It's important to take the source into account. |
| It’s unfortunate that the revelation of the facts of the hoax had to come through an opinion piece, but if none of the other news outlets who initially covered the story inaccurately haven’t issued an update, that’s the only way the truth is getting out to the community. |
