[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teenagers don’t listen to that song for fun these days. It’s an old song. They knew what they were doing.[/quote]

There’s zero basis to make that accusation, and I hope these kids’ parents get lawyers to fight the false accusation of racism.

The song is frequently played at baseball games to this day. It’s entirely possible that there is some movement to tag it as offensive in retrospect but zero evidence that it was a racist act here.

And of course, making this incident into a circus does the exact opposite of what’s intended. If people genuinely take offense at the song now, then what should happen is education about it to change norms. Not a witch hunt with extreme consequences- no doubt some people want to threaten these kids with explusion, loss of college admissions, etc. [/quote]

And I hope that any parents of the accused who decide to lawyer up over this incident are bankrupted in the process.  Raise your children better and stop trying to defend their poor behavior![/quote]

That's DCUM's answer to everything BUT never pursues anything. No reason to involve a lawyer. No identities have been released and no privacy laws broken. The punishment is what it is and if you wanna fight, go for it. I doubt that a family wants to go thru the "discovery" process? That alone could be devastating-all media posts are fair game! Just apologize, learn, and listen to others. [/quote]
