"So I can’t posit a theory just like all the TV commentators do?"

I read the article that you linked to, and the author of the article seemed to lack a basic knowledge of reporting. Nothing was explained or put into context; the races of the protesters and the "perp" were not identified. There were insufficient facts on which to base a theory.

As for what I take was a critique of my screen name, the first part is my actual name, the second part is where I live. Something like that is a common approach in FR.

Oh, actually, I wasn’t looking at your name at all. But you proved my point - Seattle really is what you are!

No, I was referring to the “racist” in the story who posted about himself, apparently.

I appreciate the “nothing to base theory”, but again, I’m using some suppositions based on those 2 things, including my close knowledge of this place.

Update, but still no clarification on who this “racist” student was or the exact nature of it.

I find this real rich, coming from a school known for all kinds of “mischief” which has much more serious “threats” than alleged “racism”.

As to how snowflakey these people are - or hypocritical:

“modified lockdown after receiving what school officials said was a threatening phone call from someone who said they were a parent and did not want their child participating.”

So saying you don’t want your kid involved is a THREAT!

Absurdistan. That’s where we live.
