Since these four are accused of a “racially motivated” offense, they are almost certainly white Brits, and the driver was Asian or African or whatever.

If this was a dangerous, mixed-race neighborhood or school, the kid may have been carrying the stunner to protect himself.

Or, of course, they could simply be up and coming gangsters. But I don’t think they’d accuse a Muslim or a Pakistani of being “racist.”

it’d be funny if it wasn’t a real stun gun, but just a stun-gun ap!

I’m sure you could sell one, and clueless people would buy it ;-)
