For a group of people who are supportive of stop and frisk, civil forfeiture, asking any brown people you see for papers, answering some questions by the school cop is over the line? thats precious.
For a group of people who are against stop and frisk, against civil forfeiture, against asking any brown people you see for papers, answering some questions by the school cop when no ones rights have been violated is acceptable? thats precious.
The mistake is thinking that proving your innocence is no big deal when it's about something one agrees with. It's about the rights of the individual.
I can just see that Hogg kid doing a Major Hochstetter from " Hogan's Heroes" saying, " Let me see your papers."
Although I think he already dropped out of school to pursue his dream of being a fascist activist.
I suspect the questioning had little to do with his Constitutional rights to go to a shooting range with his dad (this isn't about defending himself -- he wasn't defending himself) and more to do with him posting it on social media.
If the school administration and police did not question the kid and then it turned out he did do something, everyone would scream that the school/police aren't doing their job.
Many of these mass shooters are law abiding citizens until the day they lose their ****.
I suspect the kid knew what he was doing when he posted about the firing range on Facebook.
No biggie -- all he had to do was answer the question. He wasn't stopped from doing anything.
And this isn't just some random kid. ....this kid has three twitter accounts -- one is verified (blue check). This kid was on a mission and purposely created the storm.
Law enforcement & school admin were doing their job. Nobody was denied any rights.
I see nothing wrong with that picture. He is clearly at a shooting range and with an adult. He is wearing ear protection and safety glasses. No stupid tough guy poses in a hoodie.

If he were a black kid who had a pic of himself holding an AR 15 on social media, I strongly doubt some of the posters would say anything other than, “the police were just doing their jobs.” Hell, if a black kid ended up dead over this, some people would have attitudes of, “he should have answers questions and kept his hands in full sight at all times and here’s a photo of him looking scary. One more thing off the street.”
Every picture of a black person holding a gun, has them in some thuggie gangsta pose. And never at a shooting range, wearing ear protection and safety glasses. And certainly not wearing a polo shirt.
May be perfectly legal, but this kid, and his Dad, are callous with no hearts. No respect for his dead classmates.
Please elaborate on the bolded.
