Wanna know a great way to prevent this from happening to you? Don’t say racist shite

I'm sorry, but this isn't North Korea. One shouldn't fear that a controversial or offensive statement made to another person will be published over a year after the fact and ruin your life. We as a society encourage this kind of Stasi-like behavior with social media. This girl should be ashamed of herself for doing this.

North Korea publicly executes its citizens with anti aircraft guns for wanting freedom. Jake Fromm is getting yelled at on twitter for being racist. I don’t think those things equate.

Whatever happened to actions and consequences? You’re completely free to make the statement, but you’re completely free to face whatever fallout the statements might bring

Or even talk to the media at all. Just avoid it. You’re always gonna make someone mad.

Unfortunately that’s gonna become more normal I think. If I were an athlete of that stature I wouldn’t have social media period and keep who I interact with pretty tight

This girl waited 15 months to publish this. She did it to score virtue signaling points with the BLM crowd. He's going to likely lose his job because of an off-the-cuff statement, because corporate decisions are now dictated by social media mobs full of self-absorbed and semi-literate people. I don't like the idea of cultural excommunication because you said something offensive.

The guy said something stupid and wrong. Probably thought it was funny and didn’t give it much thought, obviously not the case.

Still whoever ratted him out looks just as bad.

I honestly cant imagine Fromm with a gun. Do his bullets fall 5 yards short of the target?

Yep

Hell I’ve considered doing it as a regular citizen. It’s so easy to get raked over the coals these days.

No he's not

People will forget about this in 2-3 weeks. What he said wasn't derogatory towards other people but it was stupid as hell. If he doesn't have a job its because he sucks.

I think it’s a lot easier not to worry about how someone might perceive a statement in which one suggests only elite whites should have access to suppressors if you simply don’t make the statement in the first place. It’s also not like Fromm was a high school edgelord when he sent those texts. He was in the spring going into his senior year of college.

But sure, getting called out for dumb shite you say a year after you’ve said it is the same as North Korea, the USSR, Nazi Germany, etc.

The truth is, young people today need to be aware there is a permanent record of their own making.

Don't tweet, text or whatever else you do without the expectation that everyone will eventually see it.

Sad commentary on our society, but it is what it is.

From texts a girl in private conversation trying to sound like Mr Cool.

She posts it on Twitter and now he’s ruined forever.

Must be fun to be a liberal.

So you would perfectly fine with someone publicly displaying the worst most fricked up thing you've ever texted, or said to a friend in confidence?
