Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

The teenager, who is unnamed in court documents because he is a minor, is charged with inducing panic and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors. He’s accused of posting a “detailed plan to complete a mass shooting” at Temple Israel in Canton, a city south of Akron, on the live streaming platform Discord.

The charges come amid a rise of antisemitism in the United States and worldwide. In the U.S. alone, antisemitic incidents rose 35% from 2021 to 2022.

According to documents released by the Stark County Sherriff’s Office Thursday, an FBI agent alerted the department to the Discord posts on Sept. 7. The plans were initially posted on Sept. 1, and contained maps of the synagogue allegedly drawn by the boy and another individual in Washington state. They also included plans to burn down and “shoot up” the building.

When confronted by law enforcement, the boy admitted to being a part of multiple antisemitic and political groups on the platform, according to the documents. He was then arrested, and a trial hearing is set for Dec. 20.

Horrible how this hate seeps into these kids.

[–] PoliticalAgitator@lemm.ee 47 points 2 years ago (4 children)

It doesn't seep in, it's cultivated by far-right groups that intentionally target children and openly groom them for extremism.

The whole fucking world needs to rewatch American History X like once every 4 years or so.

I'm glad I watched that movie in 7th grade because it fucked me up a little, but like, righteously.

And Higher Learning.

The indoctrination scenes really drive the point home: find a vulnerable somebody and preach the hate over and over>

"You have to be carefully taught to hate before you are 6, or 7, or 8, to hate all the people your relatives hate you have to be carefully taught"

It's Marxists and Socialists and their anti-West allies pushing the recent Jew hate on social media.

Glad this boy has been charged. I have noticed more young people doing this.

I fail to undsrstand why a child is being charged when the parents raising the child are clearly not doing a good job.

Why are parents not being charged instead?

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Because parenting isn't as influential as many people seem to assume. At least when you believe scientists.

I hated Torah study when I was a kid too but never quite enough to shoot up the synagogue.

This kid and his parents need help. You don't get this far down the hate hole without some major help at home.
