black kids don’t get to be kids, unfortunately. the whole thing is heartbreaking and frustrating.

it me. When i read that teacher’s reaction my head tilted all the way to the side.

Trust me... The thought crosses my mind every time I have to do this. I usually listen to the audio without watching the video first as I’m a very visual person but.. It’s still the worst

I really don’t know HOW those jurors looked at this and....I just can’t.

Yeah. I relistened again after taking a mental break and heard that too. So I’m going to update the story in a second. It’s really hard to watch.

my hands are still shaking from having watched the video. It’s so much worse than I imagined. And what I imagined was pretty bad.

because the system wasn’t built to protect us.

eeyyy. That’s great news. Making an update now!

wow. Thanks! updated the story.

Currently the reports are still that the motorist confronted the girls in some manner, though precise details are scarce.

Bahahaha. I feeeeeell you on a deep and personal level. I love me some Spotify. I’ve never had Sprint and will never have Sprint, so that’s that.

right? even a reckless discharge, but nope. zilch. Nada. Insane.

fucking ay, c’mon man. I don’t even know what to expect anymore. (That’s a lie. I know exactly what to expect)

Did you hear his mother speak? It just ripped me apart.

entirely, just screw it all.

My heart is truly aching right now. This is such utter bullshit.

Thank you for sharing your story again and again, Hachi. I’m sorry you went through that and that you didn’t feel safe or supported enough to come forward. This is exactly what a lot of people need to know when they ask “why didnt’ she/he/they come forward”. Sometimes it feels like shouting into a void but one can

LOL. In the face of all this crap I appreciate the laugh.
