  • I agree, but imagine a situation without race involved. If my wife has something taken and chased a child to get it back, then got charged for assault, it’d be laughed out of court.

    This could be classed as assault, depending on intention, I think the investigation is looking into her character to prove the intention. Obviously she has a shot character, but they may need subpoenas from judges etc to look at phone records for evidence. It all takes time. I’m sure she’s getting her just desserts eventually.




  • Possibly, it needs another source of evidence though. In the video the man asks: " Did you chase him? Did you try to hit him?" The woman replies “Yes”, but it’s a compound question and easily argued she was saying yes to chasing to get back whatever the child took.

    Threat of violence is a crime and in this case clearly racially motivated so would be a hate crime. But I think it’d be tough to prove in court with only the video evidence and something for the criminal court to discover, not the parents or the NAAPC.

    I’d like to again state this woman is pure garbage and the people that gave her money are probably worse.

    You need to look at the difference between a ‘hate crime’ and a ‘hate incident.’ They’re not the same thing. There could be eye witness evidence or other recordings of a crime too, but in that case it’d be a matter for the police rather than the family.

    Generally, when a person or group sues someone else, they’re seeking for damages. Such as loss of property, medical bills, reputation which causes loss of work etc. It’s hard to argue what the damages here would be.

    I believe the police are also looking into the matter though, so something could come of it, including money to the family.

    A hate crime needs a crime. Your example involving workplace is different due to worker protections. I don’t think just calling someone something is a crime though. You’d have to prove something like ‘intent to cause a riot’ or something, which is really hard to prove. Also the only damages you could sue for are emotional, which are really hard to prove; unlike your workplace example where damages would be a lot more tangible due to loss of work for example.

    Not sure what they hope to achieve, I’m not American and may be unfamiliar with specific laws, but isn’t it covered by freedom of speech? Would be very hard to argue and prove reparations for emotional damage to the child.

    Shaming her seems like the most likely outcome.

    I’d think the platform she used to raise funds may be more of a viable target. Can’t be rewarding this behavior, I imagine it could be breaking some laws against anti-minority organizing. Could be argued as an anti black gang by sourcing from so many people.



  • Just looking though some of my higher playtime games, here’s a few I haven’t seen mentioned: (I think they’re all indie or small studio)

    Gunfire Reborn - Roguelike fps with infinite replay.

    Troubleshooter Abandoned Children - XCOM style battle system with a really really fun way to customize how your character fight. Story is pretty lame though (I ended up skipping it) and it’s pretty grindy.

    Thronefall - Pretty challenging base defence.

    The last spell - Turn based base defence with lots of different ways to build your characters.

    Ratropolis - Roguelike real-time card strategy base defence. Pretty good, although not well balanced at highest difficulties.
