People are so disproportionately angry at the little shit responsible for the milk incident. They're baying for blood.
I wonder why this has hit such a nerve.
Theres a certain sense of entertainment now at watching him suffer. I have very little empathy for the little shit, but also it does feel like a Two Minutes Hate. All the pent up frustration from recent stressors, resentment towards the entitled and wealthy
yeah, the papers are pushing the private school/elite/capitalist angle for clicks
I’m in the he’s a little shit camp. The cherry on top was when he whinged that people had identified him to his school, and therefore there might be consequences for him. He complaint was ‘how could you do this to a minor’. What a turd. And I bet his parents are entitled turds too.
Because it's all fun and dandy to prank your friends or act the clown and record it but don't involve innocent people in your stupidity.
I think it’s the intersection of obnoxious teenager, elite private school, and TikTok prankster. It’s a uniquely irritating combo where any one factor makes people want the person to be punished, but all three together incite particular rage.
