"With this I intend to be very clear: Hatred and racism have no place in this community, and where this behavior becomes criminal, I will ensure that we act -- and act with swift resolve, as we did here -- to uncover it and bring it to the light of justice,"
If this were true they'd have already prosecuted at least as many black kids (if not ~600% more, like with other criminal patterns) for brazenly plotting online which white kid to jump next.
If the law were enforced objectively in this country three fourths of the black population would be perpetually in prison, and more than half of them would be born there.
There's no law being broken, but they'll drag you through the court system to arrive at that conclusion, at which point you've already been punished by having your life disrupted and your coffers emptied.
A friend got a DUI once, and he described it as "if you get a lawyer the DA will make sure you pay your lawyer $10k. If you don't get a lawyer the fines and everything will end up being about $10k. Regardless of what you do, it will cost you $10k".
The laws that are written down mostly only matter to a specific segment of boomers who are in their 60-70s and dying off. Millennials and especially zoomers are going to be extremely different when they're fully in charge.
Several students "expressed hateful and racist comments, including notions of violence toward people of color, racial slurs, derogatory pictures and videos, and a mock slave auction directed at two juveniles known to them," Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni said at a press briefing on Thursday announcing the charges following a monthlong investigation.
MY GOD! Such a tragedy.
I can't believe people here didn't think me valuable enough to stage a mock slave auction for me. "Nononononononononono, don't buy Antonio, he would only wreck your home." So hurtful. Racist bastards, the lot of you, I'm reporting you to Mr. Gullini.

Are we sure they weren't just playing Stellaris? 🤔
I chuckled when I found it had already been archived an hour before I tried. From the page:
Governor Baker also appointed him to his state-wide Taskforce on Hate Crimes.
The Hampden District Attorney’s Office has engaged with many community-based organizations, including Roca, the Healing Racism Institute of Pioneer Valley, and the YWCA to broaden its reach and provide equitable services to all communities in need. His office has also initiated many of its own programs to engage youth, prevent crime, help people overcome addiction, and promote social and racial equity in criminal justice.
A classic example of "Racism!? In my district!? Not on my watch!" Curiously, persecuting children and young adults tends to have negative effects and outcomes rather than positive ones, but the crusade against bigotry takes no prisoners.
In theory you are free to be as racist or as “mean/hateful” as you want. 1st amendment. In theory of course. Sadly we are seeing otherwise. I guess “I may hate what you are saying but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it” is a quant forgotten line from my high school civics class
So where do you guys think they'll build the internment camp for the .win network gang? I hope it's in the Falklands. I bet I could write some great poetry about it.
At the very least, use services where pseudonyms are the norm. Won't protect against the FBI with a warrant, but at least gives a chance against the robots in school administrations. Probably too much to expect regular teens and pre-teens to use messengers that don't archive by default and aren't run off a Silicon Valley VC business model.
The charge they've been given is based around threats, which I think is a rough area for first amendment arguments.
All six have been charged with threat to commit a crime, according to the district attorney's office. One has additionally been charged with interference with civil rights and witness interference, while another has also been charged with interference with civil rights, the district attorney said.
Private jokes aren't threats. Sounds like it was a private chat in which case what threats could have been made? This is reaching. People are allow d to be racist and say racist shit. It's not illegal.
But only some people's words though.

BASED EIGHT GRADERS.
I still don’t know what law was broken here, but I guess it’s naive to think that matters these days
Process as punishment.

Same idea.

Shitposting is not a crime and any government that says otherwise needs to be overthrown.
This will only teach them to not be as blunt about noticing problems with specific groups in the future.
Keep going baby. Wake more people up it's the only way for us to win.

Wonder how long those "resources and conversation starters" have been up there?
too based for this gay world
Their real crime is not being outspoken gay commies. I guarantee you they are all White.
Sounds like they were playing Stellaris 👽

show us the messages or you're lying.

A nigger can run a crowd of children over and walk away but the system will crush the white child that calls that man a nigger.
It's a cultural revolution. Start calling it what it is.
Two nannies and some lawn equipment?

They were doing a mock slave auction, obviously a joke, so this is BS and HOPEFULLY won't go anywhere.
