I was sort of onboard with the apology ... right up until the "colored" comment. That right there tells me a whole lot about what she really thinks. *very angry face*

Still SMDH.
I'm sorry Steph. I don't blame you for wanting to get the hell out of that kind of environment. I live around way too much of this BS, too.

I would talk to the school again and see if athletes have a morality clause? And if him being in this costume could make him sit out the season. Not to mention it'll be a distraction at the games with his family there.
Did anyone comment on her use of the word colored before it was deleted?

I'm going to see if things play out before I talk to the coaching staff...it's long winter still. I will research the code of conduct for athletes though. I'm not sure about the response. her page was always private, my kids were friends with her so they accessed it to it, but i'm not sure how far it's spread. |

Oh, and dh just went to pick the youngest up from work and Giovannis is closed. They are usually open until 9. People have been calling Giovannis asking them to pull the franchise, they apparently advised them to close while it's all sorted out and they refused.
It's hard to tell if they closed b/c the phone was ringing off the hook, because of the news being there, or because of franchise pressure. I'm sure people will be talking about it tomorrow.

Wait the girl in the picture used the word "colored" I thought it was the mother of the boy? I don't expect a teenager to use that word!
I think this might all blow over in a week.

There must be something messing because all I see is the mother response. I have no idea what she's posting abou the second picture is the costumes. He is wearing a 'black lives matter' t-shirt, blackface and has a noose around his neck. His girlfriend is dressed as a clown and they acted out a lynching at their families Halloween party. 2nd pic not showing .... strange! |

Looks like a lot of people are searching Facebook for the mother (yes, I did too!). Incorrect spelling on the third options though.  And about 63,000 searching the son. |

From the posts you are making Steph, they obviously don't get it and think they did nothing wrong. THAT is the scariest part!

I dropped him off and he's going to text me if he feels uncomfortable at all.
Looked like one cop on duty in an unmarked car, those two students still aren't in school

Hope today is calmer and those kids start to u detest and what they did was wrong. It doesn't sound like their families will be the ones explaining it though.
FWIW I think there's something wrong with telling a teen they don't deserve to live. Especially when they've gotten to this place via disadvantage, i.e. Ignorant hateful parents.
It would be nice if there was an outlet in your community that could show them a better way, not react with another version of hatred. StephD, I mean that for all kids in narrow minded limited homes, not just about your town.
ETA that was supposed to be "understand", but autofill choose "detest". I'm leaving it because that's even better!

It was 4 & 6. So probably fox too Because this is so upsetting to me, I went looking for the news stories and found this one:
story
Seriously, out of all the footage they probably took, the best clip they can find is one of a kid scratching himself?

From the posts you are making Steph, they obviously don't get it and think they did nothing wrong. THAT is the scariest part! I think it's a typical defense mechanism when someone is attacked by many, claim they are misunderstood and deflect attention. Hillary Duff and her boyfriend dressed up as a pilgrim and red faced Indian for halloween, they quickly apologized. Remember when Julianne Hough wore a black face for halloween? |

Quick update: Not much is happening around here. The two kids in the picture arent' back in school yet, and there is a cop on duty each day but the hoopla seems to have gone away. We had news vans in town for a few days, apparently there was a shot of my house and my neighbors house blasted across the news for their shot of a 'peaceful quiet community" and the interest went back to the election pretty quickly.
The shop opened the next day and then closed early but has been open since then. A few cars here and there but not like before. Rumor today is that Giovannis pulled their franchise name and they'll have to change it to something else if they stay open. Still hoping they go out of business. The biggest problem has been that there is a Gio's in two other small towns close to us and they've had a sales decrease...guilty by association or confusion I guess.
Locals have been gossiping about the new name once Gio's pulls the sign out front. That's been entertaining.
