There is a FB pic of the kid next to the car, but that wasn't him in the arrest photo.

I checked into it - its coming from a white supremacist news site called "Got News". Only white supremacists are posting this.

I think it was likely fake but the photo wasn't of a teen.

Good delete though. I do try not to jump the gun but get caught sometimes.

The author already responded to me.

This has been a really emotionally draining day.

We cannot forget that we have the numbers and the morally/ethically correct stance.

Really, I would like to know what does testosterone do, especially when it is when mixed with hate and/or alcohol? I have asked this for many, many years and no one can answer this question. Terrorists, criminals, etc are usually men. The jails are filled with mostly male prisoners. Why?
