Today, Scott Castaneda was Twitter's main character.
Seems very likely now that the post was either a troll, satire, or a bot trying to rile people up for some kind of purpose. If so, the joke is on the people laughing at him, isn't it?

I looked through his tweet history and nothing indicates he's a bot or a troll. He looks like a pretty bog standard Trump-supporting Republican to me.
Edit: a 5-second Google search of his name turns up a Scott Castaneda from Rochester Hills, MI, on Facebook whose photos appear to be the same guy. There's also a Scott Castaneda with the same profile photo from the "Greater Detroit Area" on LinkedIn. Is it typical that Russian Trump-supporting bots on Twitter also have matching Facebook and LinkedIn accounts? That's not a snarky question; I genuinely don't know.

I guess he won't rob a pregnant woman at gunpoint ever again
So it is okay to kill unarmed people if they don’t have a squeaky clean past? I mean I guess it would be good population control as I am sure the vast majority of people have skeletons in their closet.
I think its a great time to rewatch the 92 Riots, the best documentary I've seen is the one by Nat Geo on it, they focus on just showing the actual footage and the timeline of the whole thing.
What's most fascinating for us that watched it all live especially, is how hostile the riots were to white and Asian bystanders. Watching all the protests these days, much of the crowds are very diverse and supported by everyone, no longer is it just hatred towards white people and in the case of LA the Asian community (especially Koreans), so that is a positive step forward.
It feels like these protests are finally gaining actual traction, because its never felt like things would change wholesale, but we might finally be at a point where congress and states act to demilitarize the police, change training and requirements to even become a cop which in too many states is far too little.
My fiance which is pretty young, she was blown away by this documentary, its a good primer for anyone who wasn't alive then or too young to appreciate the magnitude of the Rodney King trial.

If Pulp Fiction taught us anything, it's that Gimps love the taste of leather, but dude you gotta stop licking boots in the thread.
It's getting weird.
He just wants attention and doesn't care if it's negative. His ego gets a stroke either way. In the end he's just a pitiful dork and it's probably best to ignore him.

So we put on our detective hat and did some sleuthing (aka we kept scrolling down his twitter feed). His very first post, from 2015, linked to a Facebook business page that had a 586 area code. We called it.
Incredibly, Castaneda picked up.
When told his tweet went viral, Castaneda says he was unaware.
"I'm just tired of hearing political stuff from these bands, even Pink, everybody else," he says. "It's one of those things where, can we just listen to music and we just enjoy life? EDM, techno, rock, I get all kinds of different stuff and that's my safe haven. I don't want to listen to political stuff. And once someone taints that for me, it just kills the mood."

It's also possible he's just not a "thinker" if you know what I mean.
Dumb question maybe, but when did it become ok to call African American PoC "blacks" again?
I know #blacklivesmatter etc etc. But I thought we were being taught, even a decade ago, that calling all darker skin people in our society "black" is insensitive?

I don't know that it is. One of my friends told me that "Black people/person/etc" is ok (capital B) but "blacks" or "black people" is definitely not. I assume it's the difference between referring to them as a people vs a colour of people. In the same way you would say "Canadian people" and not "canadian people".
