For goodness sake, teens get married, have jobs, serve their country, have babies, drive vehicles and no end of other things at that age. Of course they are capable of thinking those things through. They're old enough to be responsible for their own actions at that age, if my two DD's at 16 & 19 didn't have the ability to do so I would feel that I failed as mother. Science disagrees with you. www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=1&ContentID=3051It’s interesting that when it’s these kids, it’s their brains haven’t developed, but when it’s black teenage boys the standard reaction is to treat them as adults and put them in the adult criminal justice system or Kill them for walking home with skittles after stalking them through the neighborhood

I'm so done with all pitchforky attacks on people. Of all kinds.
Everyone is so prickly and attacky these days. I've stopped watching the news and am on a break from social media because of shit like this. Honestly, my opinion is 'whatever' at this point.
Everyone has their own reasons and justifications for doing what they want to do.

In this case it really does NOT matter whether their brains have matured enough or not. In this case there were adults -- ADULTS -- who helped them plan, who encouraged them, and who cheered for them as they marched. Those adults are responsible for it. Or maybe the adults knew their kids would participate and wanted to support them. Graduation was the last time I ever saw most of the people I went to high school with. Granted some of them I might have an opportunity to see again, but others have died from car accidents, suicide, and illnesses like cancer. How dare people want to say goodbye. 🙄 This was FAR from the only way to say goodbye. But keep justifying a bunch of spoiled kids who equate marching for their lives to marching to show off their outfits. It's fun to watch.

And what happened to Trayvon Martin was wrong. Black juveniles are disproportionately tried as adults, particularly in many southern states. www.theroot.com/minor-damage-the-criminal-injustice-of-black-youth-tri-1829311474

Actually, I'm done arguing on this topic. I think if most peas were honest with themselves, they would realize they would have been there too. It's not about "showing off outfits," it's about marking the end of one chapter of life and moving on to the next. Nope. I walked out of High School on the last day and didn't look back. It was not the favourite time of my life, and I was just glad to be done with it.

I must be missing something. The school marched for graduation?
Either COVID-19 is so dangerous that mass gatherings can't happen, or it's okay to gather in mass. The cause of the gathering doesn't make the current dangerousness of COVID less dangerous.
EDIT: Mask-less yes, I see that being a major issue. Is that the white privilege part of this?

This is a tone deaf end run around and pouty reaction to the parent and student disappointment at not getting the graduation moment they wanted or "deserved". Look at all the challenges these enormously privileged kids have overcome in their life. It's kind of sad they haven't seemed to learn anything from it all.

There is no fucking way every single peaceful protestor was wearing a mask at every.single.protest. I know this because I myself can see with my own eyes the news coverage. Those that wear them, some wear them correctly and some wear them under their nose or under the chin. The 100% compliance narrative is bullshit. One thing for sure--NYC won't know if any of the new cases could have come from and spread from protestors. Why? Because Blowhard Di Blasio won't have contact tracers even ask. I never said 100% compliance. But there's been a lot of compliance. And it's helping.

I'm glad someone has a back bone to stand up and fight for what they believe is right. We as Americans can determine what is safe for our families and if they chose to have a graduation, god forbid, san masks etc...WHO GIVES A SHIT!! All of you OVER privileged women need to get several hobbies and focus on those instead of what everyone else is doing wrong in your mind! NOT everyone thinks like you hoity toitee goodee goodee gossipers who lick everyone's ass, and then immediately talk shit behind their backs!!! You fucking liberal bitches are what's wrong with society. I hope you choke on that!

This is either Erin herself or one of her minions who has been going around on news articles, posts, and videos about this telling everyone to shut up and who gives a shit. Nice try. We don't fall for that here.

The marches in Pittsburgh started over 2 weeks ago. The new Covid count in Allegheny County (where Pittsburgh is located) was 0 yesterday. You know why? Every single person at those marches wore a mask. Those graduating kids didn't even bother with that one small thing. Our Pittsburgh area is doing very well with keeping the numbers low. I live north of Pgh., and most everyone is wearing a mask. I feel very fortunate to live in an area where people seem to care.

I am 100% positive my kid would not have participated in that graduation march. Too many people, too much risk for me and my family. Yesterday we went and participated in a graduation parade for our high schools graduates. The kids all stood on the sidewalk in front of the school, arms width apart in all their regalia. Their parents stood on the opposite sidewalk, also apart. The rest of us drove by, honked the horn, shook the cowbells and maracas and shouted “Congratulations!!!” through the windows at them as we drove slowly by. It was great, people were able to maintain socially distant, and the kids had a graduation send off. It for sure was not the same nor as great as an actual ceremony. But that’s not a possibility right now. This was a good compromise.

I think the white privilege part of this is 1. Being inspired by BLM to come up with a way to celebrate themselves 2. Coming up with ways to circumvent policing knowing this did not put them at personal risk 3. Justifying their own celebration which was previously denied to them by citing BLM protests I see no hypocrisy in saying it’s okay to take to the streets to protest police brutality but not to hold large parties.

And did you catch the part about how they thought about going to the beach with hula hoops so if questioned they could start hooping and say it was an exercise class? Yeah, the mindset was to find a way to get what they wanted and lie if needed.

hoity toitee goodee goodee If you are going to hang out here I feel obliged to warn you about the grammar and spelling police. For future reference, "hoity" and "toitee" are spelled the same except for the first letter, so should be "hoity-toity" (note a hyphen is needed). As to "goodee goodee", that should be "goody-goody" (again, requires a hyphen).

The hypocrisy is saying it's not a public health issue to protest. But it's a public health issue for everything else that involves a mass gathering. Oddly enough, the public health issue that is an issue for anything other than the protests is actually more deadly to black people. I totally support the right to protest, provided people follow the guidelines. But my point is if it's not a PH issue to protest with masks, then you should be able to have outdoor concerts now and other things that are currently not happening and is killing our economy. EDIT: What they did was wrong.
