A 13-year-old student was expelled from a Louisiana middle school after hitting a male classmate who she said created and shared a deepfake pornographic image of her, according to her family’s lawyers.

    What else was she supposed to do.

    Sue the school, get the police involved, go to the press, etc. The authorities in her life were failing.

      If we were talking about adults, I might agree with you; but that’s a lot to ask of a 13 year old.

      Perhaps she should have waited until she could get home and speak to her parents; but she did reach out to the adults responsible for taking care of her and was repeatedly turned away without a solution.

      With that, I can’t really blame her for her actions here. I’d educate her on how to reach out further for help in the future, but I definitely wouldn’t punish her for this one.

        Not of her parents, though.

        While her actions are understandable, violent force without imminent danger is still difficult to justify. In practical terms, though, that kid needed a severe beatdown & the shitty administrators need to face consequences.

          stop trying to argue both sides.

          “She should of done xyz instead” in one sentence “that boy deserved it” the next.

            Principles like nonviolence & justifiability aren’t really negotiable. Maybe you should try morality sometime.

              I love how you keep trying to gloss over the fact that you are arguing both sides - How the fuck is that “moral”?

              Oh becaue you are doing it and you can do no wrong from up on your high horse.

              Either you are a troll or you have legitimate brain damage - either way -blocked.

              The moral thing here is for that sexual assaulting scum to be expelled and criminally charged, and the girl defended.

              That didn’t happen, the girl was punished the boy protected.

              She did the right thing, pussyhole lad should’ve been beat far worse for his crime, if he wasn’t going to be properly punished.

              There’s no morality in non-violence that allows violence to go unchecked. It was her last resort and it still isn’t good enough for you.

              If she didn’t do that it would have continued and probably even gotten worse.

                Right.

                She did the right thing

                Nope: see violence.

                There’s no morality in non-violence that allows violence to go unchecked.

                There was no violence until she performed it. Maybe you need a dictionary.

                It was her last resort and it still isn’t good enough for you.

                Far from it: there were higher authorities, the press, lawsuits, shaming & embarrassing the school administration publicly until they cave. They weren’t exhausted.

                Violence is only justified in imminent danger. In civilized society, we only authorize lawful force. I think you know that. Lacking integrity by corrupting & bending moral principles when challenged isn’t moral: learn morality.
