For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
This kid:
Spud, who was recording on his Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses, walked down the hallway by the main entrance while stating his support for ICE and law enforcement.
Of course the bootlicker was wearing meta glasses.
Maybe they're not so bad if we get to see more fascists get hit in 4k.
Didn’t the kid also spout off about “school code”?
I don’t know any schools that let you video record in a school without consent. Dude is wearing a recording device as glasses and did not get consent from anyone in the school. That’s against school code, bruuuuuuuuuuuh.
The article says Spud did get one day of in school suspension for recording in the school. He also complained others were also recording. Maybe if spud had not posted the video online he spills not have been caught.
They gave my hero a couple of days off school as a reward, gotta love it.
Hopefully he got ~~paid~~ free 100s for those days off
Punching a Nazi should be able to get you at least passing grade for history classes.
Punch a nazi, get 2 days off going to school full of nazis. Nice.
Also: The nazi kid's name is Spud. Bro is a literal potato.
I was wondering what the other guys parents thought of their kid. Then I saw the guy is 18 and clearly trying to do the shit stirring influencer grift.
Went ahead a blocked him on all the platforms I had accounts for.
Went ahead a blocked him on all the platforms I had accounts for.
We must not look at goblin men,
We must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed
Their hungry thirsty roots?
Spud also has a blue Twitter checkmark. If it walks holding signs like a Nazi and quacks on a Nazi-owned platform it pays to use...
“I stand for my beliefs,” Spud said after the two were separated. “I’m going to peacefully stand here and support my beliefs. I support ICE and law enforcement,” Spud said.
“You can go peacefully f–k yourself!” the student who punched Spud yells.
What a legend.
“That’s against school code. No swearing in the school,” Spud responds.
And what a weasel.
It's funny how they always support rules and laws when they benefit them, but ICE breaking the constitution multiple times per day isn't an issue.
fascists don't believe in law, they believe in power
Weaponized decency, it’s a tool to them not an ideal.
Worth
Becoming a living "punch the nazis" meme.
No other prize can top that.
If I was duders parents that'd be two days of pizza and soda and a informative talk qbout how permanent records are bullshit.
I got banned from Reddit for saying punching nazis is a form of self-defense.
We as a society should not tolerate the intolerant.
Punch a Nazi and get two days off of school. Sounds like a clear win.
The school also offered Spud a “safety plan” in response to online threats he has received, but Spud said he declined the plan.
Of course he has, if a troll behaves they cannot troll people!
Administration: "Okay, potato... err... Spud. Here's our suggestion: Don't support murder and internment of minority groups. Especially publicly. It's likely to make people angry at you and may be dangerous."
Potato: "No that's my only hobby"
He accepted the consequences. We all heard it.
Spud, who has over 60,000 followers on Instagram, posted the 47-second video to his social media profiles on Instagram, X and TikTok later that evening.
This kid sounds like the ultimate little piece of shit. I hope he and his followers grow out of it, but he'll probably make a bunch of money and be offered a senior position in the federal government. Which won't prove him right, though he'll think it does.
I hope the cops are keeping an eye on him, because by the time he hits his college years he's going to be trying to slip unidentified powders into women's drinks at the bar.
This is exactly the kind of person who becomes a cop. ACAB.
And a lifetime of cred.
Fucking legend.
More people should honour Punch a Nazi Day.
(In case of doubt, Punch a Nazi Day falls on any day that ends in ‘y’.)
That kid is a fucking hero. I said so on Reddit when it happened, and I'm saying it here now as well. I condone his actions and, if more people did what he did, we would stand a better fighting chance against this loathsome menace currently destroying everything good in the USA and abroad.
I can only hope I succeed in raising my kid to be as awesome as this kid.
White privilage on full display
I got arrested and charged with "aggravated assault" and nearly expelled for self-defence against a racist bully. I'm not white.
We need more white kids to use their privilage for good
“I thought to myself, how can so many people be against law enforcement and officials trying to make our country better and safer?”
'Thought' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there
Comic Sands had some background on this and I think it explains a lot:
Self-described content creator "Danny Spud" is known for producing ragebait video content. He frequently uses Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses to covertly film his "pranks."
Spuds "prank" videos routinely show him harassing strangers until they're forced to react. No one was buying his support of anything other than self-promotion. Danny Spud doesn't support ICE or law enforcement. Danny Spud only supports Danny Spud.
Spud got exactly what he was hoping for, in other words. This was his plan, his plan worked, so he should be happy, right? I had felt like an "I Love ICE" sign, in this day and age, was pretty much incitement, and it turns out, it was exactly that. In a perfect world, there would be consequences for doing that.
Yeah, this take is BS.
If you hold a sign saying you’re pro-ICE, you’re pro-ICE. If you’re harassing people and pushing their buttons saying you’re pro-ICE, you are in fact pro-ICE. Anyone walking by will assume you are pro-ICE. It isn’t up to the viewer to perform a psychoanalysis of the person and calculate the odds of whether the person is lying, and if they're trolling… fuck ’em.
“I was surprised to be the only one in the detention/ISS room, because I saw many other students record the protest as well,” Spud said.
Of course the ICEhole is a narc. Deserved.
"you'll get in trouble" "you should have complied" evil men only succeed when good men let them.
This kid has done more for his country than most of us here combined. Respect.
Spud, who was recording on his Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses,
Ahhh OK, yea dude is gonna get a ton more of this reaction in his future.
For me it was the little clap he did before swinging. Gets me every time.
"Student" is a funny way to spell "Absolute Gigachad Legend" but OK.
I hope that kid gets punched every time he "peacefully protests". This should be the next tiktok challenge.
