Pissy kid was arrested for posting a gun threat.
If only we could arrest clickbait headline writers.

on brief digging, you might see an article about rumored gun threat, but further digging says that was false, and he was actually arrested for the racist video.

He was arrested for the "racist" video which implied a threat of violence. From the school's letter to parents:
The clickbait is the pernicious suggestion that "racism" is an arrestable offence, based on the authorities' virtue signalling, wailing, and chest thumping.
"Implied support of violence" is extremely weak, but that's an arrestable offence when it's a public safety issue, and that's why he's in juvenile custody.

Yep. I read the headline,automatically think we’ve reached Great Britain’s level of lunacy, discover otherwise. Idiots.
