Sheesh, this thread...

To be clear, understanding the reasons a bully acts the way they do does not give permission to do so or a lack of consequences for their actions. That would excuse the behavior, and that simply cannot happen anymore.

Also, I get a kick out of people being outraged about the race here, and I understand the concern with everything that's happened over the last few months, but the real tragedy here is taking advantage of a person with mental challenges/disabilities. The reason he was able to trick him into doing disgusting and degrading things is because of those mental challenges, and to me, that's purposeful targeting of a victim because of a notable difference. That is where this gets into despicable territory for me. He took advantage of that young man in a way that showed zero empathy for his situation, and zero compassion for his struggles.

That's just ####ing disgusting. Only the lowest of the low do that. Add in the lack of contrition and I don't see any reason to give this player any leeway and goodwill. Again, he broke a social contract, a pretty big one at that. Whatever happens to him now is on him and really nobody else.
