“Why let facts get in the way of a good story?” - most of the internet

"I have no reason to lie. That is wack and stupid. Now go donateeeee."

I don't blame the internet though, making a GoFundMe after correcting a statement on your viral post, is very fishy.

It’s not that weird to refer to someone who’s acting immature as a “12 year old”.

u/CantRenameThis Aug 10 '24

With a correct/complete context, it's not. But on a clip as serious as this one, anyone would rarely assume "12 year old" was figurative and not literal.

Besides, if I recall correctly, the entire narrative was being corrected not just the semantics of it.

That isn't confirmed either because the person who supposedly talked to the lady than set up a gofundme and asked for money. I don't believe her at all.

I didn't see a single one. Learn to use the web. Use an ad blocker. Yes, they are available for mobile. Yes, even for iOS.

I know and I'm not trying to have a background app running all the time and some websites will make you turn off Adblock

Either way, the whooping this led to will be talked about in that neighborhood for generations.

i feel like what mental illness this boy has specifically is really important regarding how they would even move forward from this. because ill or not, this is a 6 foot almost 300 lb child, and something needs to be done to protect him and his family. if he threw that piece of marble (that he's strong enough to BREAK) and it accidentally hit someones head that poor kid might get a murder charge. as far as how this behavior is addressed, its important (for them and their doctors not us fr) to know what he deals with. so i dont really like that it doesnt say lol
