[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article is being over-hyped for something that it is not. All because they used the word "hung" in the title, which worked perfectly as click-bait. Hung implies someone died of asphyxiation by a noose--which leads people to also think it had something to do with race.

But a kid was bullied by a larger kid and hung him on top of something in a bathroom by his jacket (probably the hood), which made him choke. It doesn't matter that they both were black, just like it doesn't matter that white bullies tend to bully white kids and Asian bullies tend to bully Asian kids, etc.

Bad kids are physically violent, and they do it all the time in numerous ways that don't lead to news headlines. Bullying is horrible, but this is no worse than the usual, which needs to be addressed with the same energy we have towards these click-bait articles.

I hate sensationalist articles, but moreso hate the ridiculous over-responses to them. [/quote]

Are you insane? The child was hung, strangled, by his jacket and almost killed. Murdered. I think that is "worse than the usual".

People like you who constantly want to sweep violence under the rug are definitely part of the problem.[/quote]
