Describing an 18 year old as a "teen" certainly is a choice. And not one commonly made when the person accused of a crime is black.

14-year-old man posthumously charged with assaulting an officer and resisting arrest
wat? Last time I checked, a number that ends in "teen" is a "teen".
Their point is that standard is only applied to white people.
Yeah I can read, but all I see is the claim.
The media seems to have no standard on using terms and switches them willy-nilly to net the better headline.
It's not switched willy-nilly though, it's strongly correlated with race. The "better headline" is "dangerous black perpetrator prone to crime" and "foolish white boy that looks like you and just made a mistake of youth". Appealing to the racism is what makes the headline "better" (i.e., more affirming to the majority readership).

MAGA is a cult and a terrorist group.
A teen who understood what Trump meant by "fair" elections
Agreed. This is expected and desired.
Preview of Tuesday.
Vote early if you can.
Each and everyone one of these people deserves the bed they shit in.
The issue is that they make terrible Dutch Ovens and the smells waft.
So... terrorism?
(checks)
No, he's white.
From an outsider point of view, the next week is going to be fucking wild.
Key displayed a photo taken by a witness of a smiling Williams “brandishing a machete in an aggressive, threatening posture over his head.” The Harris supporters he allegedly threatened are women aged 71 and 54.
As opposed to just calmly carrying a machete, below one's head, to a polling place?
And to a 71 year old woman... just can't imagine the colossal failures as human beings that this guy's parents must be as well.
gonna break out my most hick outfit when it's time to vote. don't need anyone getting funny ideas.
My wife and I are Southern socialist libtards and usually vote in camo. We've debated open carrying but decided it wasn't worth the hassle.
If you go too far you might actually dissuade some delta-cuck soyboy libtards from voting.
So less spoiler effect for Stein? Sounds pretty win-win to me.
haha.
I don't think voting works like that, unless Stein is actually expected to win some EC votes.
I think if USA actually had some form of PR it'd be a very different kettle of fish.
PR?
This checks as being just the sort of 18 year old who would support Trump. They probably have a long list of right-wing podcasts on repeat.
people already wishing we could go back to drop box fires.
Fucking boomers amirite?
