edit: By the way he also lied on his first account of the situation before the full video came out too. Urggh.

While a popular take on some conservative news sites, this is not, in fact, true:

I do find it strange that you are outraged over “internet keyboard warriors” piling on someone for doing ‘nothing wrong’ but you yourself are advocating someone be charged for stolen valour, when there’s no evidence he committed any such crime. If this situation has taught us anything, it’s that fact checking should come before calls for “justice.” Seems to be that this lesson isn’t limited to those jumping to attack the 16 year old.
