Its like finding a new playground instead of fighting for access to the one you always used or have a right to. My parents were definitely of the 'be a bigger person/walk away stripe' but with age I realize that only serves the bullies & sociopaths of the world. Call a spade a spade & let them answer for their behavior. I'm sure they are simply misunderstood> or they will find an excuse for why they are in fact the real victims...
I completely agree. It would be unfair to the real fans of hers who follow her on social media to do that, anyway. Should we tell our kids to just stop going to school if they don't like what the bullies are saying to them?

That's nothing more than victim blaming. It's time people were made accountable for being vile a**holes.

Nice video. As Bomani said on Highly Questionable yesterday, whenever Gerald Henderson is around, someone's nose is getting broken.... [He's the one who let the pass go through his hands before it hit the fan].

One could also make the joke that if you were at a Hornets game you would feel the need to tweet as well....

Stomach turning without question, but prosecutable?

She can't press charges. That's what a prosecutor does. She can file a police report and hope that charges are filed, but they won't be. What prosecutor is going to waste their time on this?

Are stupid social media comments truly threatening? If people don't like the ride they shouldn't get on board; easy peasy.

I dont agree with absolute free speech. People should be held accountable for what they say regardless if on a keyboard or in person. You cannot and should not be able to say anything to anything just because you feel like it.
