This proves the article is garbage - if there are victims, the original described conduct of some racists having a group chat about racism can't possibly be true. There has to be more to the real story.
Who were they pretending to auction and threatening violence against? Pretty sure those are the victims.
There are three possibilities, presupposing the threats are real:
So any way you slice it, this article is hot garbage.
Are you one of those people that say girls aren't victims when fake porn is made of them and distributed so long as it's never distributed directly to them?
No. Are you?
No, but I also haven't made comments like yours that display a profound lack of understanding for what constitutes a victim.
Point 2 is incredibly flawed.
I'd ask "in what way?", but you already refused to elaborate, so it feels counterproductive.
I did not refuse to elaborate. You're arguing in bad faith consistently.
Yeah dude, those are literally the only three possible scenarios 🙄
Name a fourth.
Logic isn't your strong suit, is it?
Had this exact thought as well. The article is so vague that it doesn't actually describe what they seem to be getting charged with, so unless the DA is completely overstepping bounds (possible but unlikely) there has to be more to it.
From the article.
Sorry, I phrased my comment poorly. What I meant was that the article doesn't describe what specifically led to those charges, apart from a racist group chat of some kind.
