My question is this writer that did the race baiting, what happened if that little boy and his family got killed because of his writing? Would he be facing hard prison time?

I slightly disagree. Having it "your way" can have bad consequences as well. Mistakes and misinterpretations happens. Should a writer be held accountable for that? I do not think so. I do however think that there is very little consequences for "hit pieces" and that should change.

[@hikeclimbsail]

Iconic image. This adorable child, this inspirational photo of a boy, a Chief's fan, a player himself, captured in time. That is how I see Holden. The racist journalist, who did not vet the image or circumstance needs to be sued. I hope this sets an example.

[@stephenclements5451]

Wasn't this game against the iconic "Black & Silver" Raiders? Maybe this five year old child was just happy to be at a game with his Dad and was showing his support for both teams? I mean he is five, so I'm sure that he must have analyzed the possible consequences before making his choice of costume. Is that so ridiculous? This is the same rationale that the left uses to explain why a five year old should be given full access to pornographic material and full autonomy to decide their gender.

[@stephenclements5451]

@@bigfrankfraser1391 I gave your reply a like Big Frank... and would be continually tapping that thumbs up if the platformed allowed me to. My "satire" isn't always that clear for everyone. Other than the "mistake" part, I agree with you 100%, I just don't believe this child made any mistake at all. The media sure did though. I posted this same comment on MSNBC to point out how absurd the comments on their platform were. You can't imagine how many people replied "HE is (9) years old, as if that was important. Those people understood what my intentions were and that was the most common rebuttal. The others showed complete support of my comment. Those people don't understand when you're simply insulting their lack of intelligence. Everyday since this "Racist" (9) year old, part Native American child was first brought to "National Headline" status through the MSM, again "satire"... each day has been like that proverbial gift that keeps on giving. I hope this child's parents sue Deadspin out of existence and those that amplified this farce with ZERO due diligence pay a heavy price as well!!!

[@robertbroughton1443]

I'd sue them for triple their net worth. If they want free speech, and they say this about people, then they deserve to be bankrupted. What needs to happen though if someone, or an organization is being sued for defamation, they should not be allowed to claim, or file for bankruptcy. They have to learn that there " ARE" consequences to their actions.
