What are you talking about? People were really mad about it.

I’m guessing those were different people.

I think that there was a group of people who automatically believed the girl (she wouldn't lie about that!) and there was a group that thought that something seemed fishy about her story and weren't quite buying it. If security footage had confirmed the girl's story, then that would have been appalling to everyone. As it is, the security footage discounted the girl's claim and vindicated the boys.

Not much attention has been paid to what those boys and their parents must have been going through. No reporters are apologizing to the boys and those parents. The grandparents and the girl have suddenly stopped talking to the press. It's like....."Oh, you all can just move on now. Nothing to see here."

+ a million.

What a disgrace of a family and of a "news media"

In case you missed it...here is what happened:

There were those who were appalled by something that was ALLEGED...which turned out to be false. They didn't wait for the facts.

Then, there were those who were appalled by something that ACTUALLY HAPPENED. They waited for the facts.

Do we know what actually happened though? Maybe they were bought off or threatened so she recanted.

Did you watch Unbelievable? It happens.

You must be a troll. Or, you are horribly uninformed.
Cameras, friend, cameras.
You think the police didn't view the footage?

SEE??!?!??!!?

I didn’t say I believed her initial story. Or her recantation.

Just saying we don’t really know what happened here.

So WUSA's Mikea Turner isn't going to be reprimanded in any way for breaking this fake viral story she was personally tied to? It only took two days for that Iowa newspaper to sack the reporter who went after the fundraising kid for his teenage tweets.

Your the kind of juror who doesn’t apply a reasonable doubt standard. What would it take to know “what really happened here?” How about the girl was on camera all of recess playing elsewhere? How about the boys were playing elsewhere all recess? Or a teacher gave a statement that one of the boys was kept in for extra work? Or something else?

Really? That's what you're going with?
She made a claim. Then, she and her grandparents went on TV (national news too) and reiterated the claim.
Police were involved.
Turns out, cameras showed that what she claimed didn't happen at all. She recanted. And, the grandparents apologized to the boys who were accused.

What, exactly, do you think is missing from the coverage of this story?

Maybe her memory was fuzzy on when it happened.
Maybe they bullied her so much she imagined them doing it and then eventually believed it happened.

We don’t know.

Somehow I think if her original story turned out to be true that the APPALLED posters wouldn’t be so appalled. Not as appalled as they are about the reported lie.

We don’t know.

We know she is a proven liar. Absolutely nothing she says can EVER be believed again without solid corroborating evidence.

. Even worse Ch 9 has now decided it’s not going to name the girl and her family because she’s a minor.

Yes, I think a hate crime is worse than lying.

It should a hate crime to falsely accuse someone else of committing a hate crime. Which would mean she lied while committing a hate crime. And her pants may be on fire.
