His life is potentially ruined before it ever started. Colleges will be less apt to admit him because they dont want the controversy. Maybe he wanted to be a doctor- who knows- but his choices are limited based on the manipulation of the coverage and the piling on of an innocent minor who was not a public figure. More than anything, thats not fair and offending outlets shouldnt be allowed this behavior.
I can see....He stood there and the two intimidated each other equally. He should have gone back with his group instead of getting stuck on stupid. Nice kid...and none of his choices have changed. Speculation is not grounds...
This kid kept his cool while under full assault by Chief Refridgerator Ranger, and cooly walked a minefield when interviewed by a hostile media.
In the days before internet and social media, he would have had a chance. Now, he’s screwed. Poor kid.
