The officers issued him an official warning after determining his actions were not racially motivated.

    Can you only be racist at 18?

    Likewise being a teen doesn’t change the bullshit excuse by the courts.

      Wrong and wrong…

      If you really think there’s no different between 15 and 18, then give a 15yr old alcohol, give them a licence and let them vote.

      They’re a kid that a group of Nazi fuckwits marched past and they reacted with a Nazi salute, that it.

        Oh yes I remember all the times as a 15 year old I jokingly saluted neo Nazis. Classic childhood stuff, if this were 1935 Germany.

        This kid should be made to undergo some sort of community service or opportunity to learn and reflect on their actions. Not given a free pass and dismissal of racism.

            Yes they do and there should be some punishment, so they learn. Otherwise Tim will jump around on another kindergarten roof until it gives way and he falls in again, but this time someone might get hurt. Speaking from experience.

            A few hours community service will do the trick.

              Shitting your pants being taken for questioning and given an official warning… That’s not exactly getting away with it.

              And for the 50th time; they’re 15 years old, had not other issues, wasn’t known to the police and wasn’t part of the group.
