The more important question is why are you claiming it didn't? There's zero evidence of your claims on one side, and a widely known and publicly documented trend of this "prank" on the other.
After I saw the tweet, I looked up the story to get more information. I found multiple sources discussing it, and every single one said that the kid rang the doorbell and ran away. None even seem to mention this ski mask tiktok trend that others are assuming happened.
Of course that isn't evidence, per se, but as far as the recount of events goes that is the current story.
The only people talking about the ski mask thing seem to be users on this forum, so that's what I'm looking to verify.
Both things can exist, where there is a viral dangerous "prank" happening in some places, and in this particular story it's a ding dong ditch.
It's a simple question: how are users here concluding that this kid did the viral trend when every story talks about it as ding dong ditch (which, arguably, is another viral trend, albeit much older)?
Your redirect seems to indicate that you're just assuming
Your entire premise is that the media doesn't leave things out for ulterior motives, therefore whatever the official story is must be true.
I reject that premise. Their silence, and collision towards a purpose, speaks volumes.
My entire premise is that the story of this boy wearing a ski mask, brandishing a fake gun, and kicking down the door of the shooter is discussed solely and entirely in this forum.
I'm not going to just believe that without any evidence.
Actions of people in other parts of the world don't have any bearing on the actions in this specific story.
You are wrong, frankly. It's not a matter of if the media is leaving something out, it's a matter of what.
And the what is obvious.
