He accepted the consequences. We all heard it. honor

Spud, who was recording on his Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses, walked down the hallway by the main entrance while stating his support for ICE and law enforcement.

Of course the bootlicker was wearing meta glasses.

Maybe they're not so bad if we get to see more fascists get hit in 4k.

Didn’t the kid (Spud) also spout off about “school code”?

I don’t know any schools that let you video record in a school without consent. Dude is wearing a recording device as glasses and did not get consent from anyone in the school. That’s against school code, bruuuuuuuuuuuh.

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 71 points 5 days ago

The article says Spud did get one day of in school suspension for recording in the school. He also complained others were also recording. Maybe if spud had not posted the video online he spills not have been caught.

"Student" is a funny way to spell "Absolute Gigachad Legend" but OK.

“I stand for my beliefs,” Spud said after the two were separated. “I’m going to peacefully stand here and support my beliefs. I support ICE and law enforcement,” Spud said.

“You can go peacefully f–k yourself!” the student who punched Spud yells.

What a legend.

“That’s against school code. No swearing in the school,” Spud responds.

And what a weasel.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 157 points 5 days ago (7 children)

It's funny how they always support rules and laws when they benefit them, but ICE breaking the constitution multiple times per day isn't an issue.

fascists don't believe in law, they believe in power

Weaponized decency, it’s a tool to them not an ideal.

Punch a nazi, get 2 days off going to school full of nazis. Nice.

Also: The nazi kid's name is Spud. Bro is a literal potato.

I was wondering what the other guys parents thought of their kid. Then I saw the guy is 18 and clearly trying to do the shit stirring influencer grift.

Went ahead a blocked him on all the platforms I had accounts for.

White privilage on full display

I got arrested and charged with "aggravated assault" and nearly expelled for self-defence against a racist bully. I'm not white.

We need more white kids to use their privilage for good

Spud, who has over 60,000 followers on Instagram, posted the 47-second video to his social media profiles on Instagram, X and TikTok later that evening.

This kid sounds like the ultimate little piece of shit. I hope he and his followers grow out of it, but he'll probably make a bunch of money and be offered a senior position in the federal government. Which won't prove him right, though he'll think it does.

The school also offered Spud a “safety plan” in response to online threats he has received, but Spud said he declined the plan.

Of course he has, if a troll behaves they cannot troll people!

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 76 points 5 days ago

More people should honour Punch a Nazi Day.

(In case of doubt, Punch a Nazi Day falls on any day that ends in ‘y’.)

[–] JustAGuy@lemmy.org 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well that was rude. don't know why they gave him 2 days.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 3 days ago

they almost never punish the bullies.

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 58 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (10 children)

Comic Sands had some background on this and I think it explains a lot:

Self-described content creator "Danny Spud" is known for producing ragebait video content. He frequently uses Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses to covertly film his "pranks."

Spuds "prank" videos routinely show him harassing strangers until they're forced to react. No one was buying his support of anything other than self-promotion. Danny Spud doesn't support ICE or law enforcement. Danny Spud only supports Danny Spud.

Spud got exactly what he was hoping for, in other words. This was his plan, his plan worked, so he should be happy, right? I had felt like an "I Love ICE" sign, in this day and age, was pretty much incitement, and it turns out, it was exactly that. In a perfect world, there would be consequences for doing that.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 48 points 4 days ago

Yeah, this take is BS.

If you hold a sign saying you’re pro-ICE, you’re pro-ICE. If you’re harassing people and pushing their buttons saying you’re pro-ICE, you are in fact pro-ICE. Anyone walking by will assume you are pro-ICE. It isn’t up to the viewer to perform a psychoanalysis of the person and calculate the odds of whether the person is lying, and if they're trolling… fuck ’em.

they should give the kid a award not suspension

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 42 points 4 days ago (4 children)

A kid getting two-day out of school suspension is like a cop getting paid leave. If I were his parent there would be no punishment at home and probably a new game (or Fortnite skins or whatever) of his choice to enjoy on his suspension.

“I thought to myself, how can so many people be against law enforcement and officials trying to make our country better and safer?”

'Thought' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there
