He has autism. It affects the brain in very specific ways for each individual, but in general Executive function is the first thing to go when in stressful situations. You know, emotional regulation and self control? And I also guarantee that the cops and guards were treating him like shit. They LOVE picking on disabled people. I have no doubt most of the charges and incidents were exacerbated by the people in charge.
The dude committed crimes while on bail. Autism doesn't excuse that, and even if it did, it's still a problem that needs to be dealt with.
Nothing is being trumped up, here. The kid is just brazen about this.
Ah so he's a Lemmy user.
I get that, have it as well. Been arrested for it as well.
This kid wasn't arrested for having autism. It was for brazenly commiting crimes, and even when he was released on bail, he committed even more crimes in police protection.
This is not some poor autistic kid that's getting picked on by cops, he's a highly capable hacker expressing a explicit intent to continue to break the law and cause harm to both individuals and corporations.
Never said he was getting picked by cops on or arrested for having autism.
He is a hacker and a thief that has a lot of work to do psychologically
Umm..... look the fuck around? All cops are bastards. Mental health facilities aren't better. I was a kid in a couple, and worked at one myself. There are good staff, yeah, but there's also a 99% fucking chance that every kid will encounter a bad one. And there's a lot of bad ones. If youre lucky theyre lazy and just neglect you. Others have little patience and are likely to yell and chastise during an incident. They'll do vindictive little things to mentally ill children because theyve had to write an incident report. They'll taunt and goad kids into being aggressive. They'll ABSOLUTELY make all kinds of disparaging comments about the kids.
I have seen it all, far too often. Its absolutely rampant.
So zero evidence the cops and guards in this case did anything wrong. Thanks for being honest about lying =)
Going to be honest, I think you need to go back to reddit.
None of what you say seems to be in good faith whereas the person you're replying to is at least giving personal experiences from both being a kid in that system and having worked in it as an adult.
Downvote haraas and insult me all you want, won't change the fact that you aren't contributing to a better community or dialogue.
Or else what? You'll do something to me? You'll downvote me?
I'm not going to do anything, I'm just making a suggestion based on your overly aggressive and hostile comments.
I would say it's rather telling that you just assume someone is going to "do something to you" when they give you a suggestion though.
Might be worth taking a step back from the Internet and figuring out what's causing you to be such an angry person. Might even help lower your blood pressure.
Interesting, because that's exactly what you did.
Alright dude, whatever you say
Uh oh, you just broke Rule 1 That wasn't very civil of you.
Observing fact is civil behavior.
Don't be upset =)
I'd recommend that you both behave with more civility.
User: I guarantee abuse is happening
Me: Bullshit, there's no evidence for that
User: Bootlicker!
User2: Both of you behave
Guess Im a bootlicker who needs to behave. Sorry for having an opinion and keeping to the facts. My bad bro. I won't ever speak my mind again I've learned my lesson
The moderation team isn't here to pick a side. We're here to make sure fights (like this one) don't break out. You are both being combative. I don't mind discourse happening, but keep it civil is the only request. If you must be combative, move it to DMs
Which is why you removed my comment. You picked a side by removing my side from being able to speak. Hey they said they personally guarantee abuse is happening. There is no evidence to that from the article or anywhere. You have now erased that and the only conversation now is theirs. You picked a side.
I removed both offending (read: rule breaking) comments. Not just yours. The modlogs are free to view by everybody.
You never removed the one that is lying about abuse that never happened. You only removed mine where I pointed out there was no evidence. The reason given : "trolling". So it's trolling now to stick to the facts?
I removed rule breaking comments. If you can point to a rule that was broken with their comment, please report it. You can contest their comment, but all I ask is you do it in with some civility. I'm not saying you can't argue, but don't troll, bash, name call, or other things that are explicitly laid out in the rules.
I see, so if I state something as fact even though it isn't, in the "news" community of all places, that's not considered rule breaking? But my comment that pointed out that lie is infact rule breaking because I didn't do it in a friendlier manner. Is that correct?
Rather than arguing, I have requested that other moderators intervene, so there no semblance of me being heavy-handed in my actions regarding this. I have explained the rules, and the justifications of actions taken.
You're only proving the mods point by continuing to whinge about it. Move on.
From the modlog (trolling emphasized):
