Describing an 18 year old as a "teen" certainly is a choice. And not one commonly made when the person accused of a crime is black.
wat? Last time I checked, a number that ends in "teen" is a "teen".
Their point is that standard is only applied to white people.
Yeah I can read, but all I see is the claim.
14-year-old man posthumously charged with assaulting an officer and resisting arrest
The media seems to have no standard on using terms and switches them willy-nilly to net the better headline.
It's not switched willy-nilly though, it's strongly correlated with race. The "better headline" is "dangerous black perpetrator prone to crime" and "foolish white boy that looks like you and just made a mistake of youth". Appealing to the racism is what makes the headline "better" (i.e., more affirming to the majority readership).

As opposed to just calmly carrying a machete, below one's head, to a polling place?
And to a 71 year old woman... just can't imagine the colossal failures as human beings that this guy's parents must be as well.
Each and everyone one of these people deserves the bed they shit in.
The issue is that they make terrible Dutch Ovens and the smells waft.

This checks as being just the sort of 18 year old who would support Trump. They probably have a long list of right-wing podcasts on repeat.
Fucking boomers amirite?
