Seems like he should sue for libel and slander, for sure. There's a mountain of evidence that the media caused him, his classmates, and his family legit harm. He will win. The amount, however, is up in the air.It's finally happening: the character assassination and dishonest partisan "news" reporting is catching up to the corrupt leftist MM institutions. 🙂
I hope more things like this happen.
Agreed, it's about time the media and others get held responsible for their actions.
Don't follow US media, are we talking about the grinning kid? Is he suing media outlets for defamation? If so and they told lies about him, then they deserve to be sued and he deserves to win. Yes he may become 'that guy' everywhere he goes for the next 20+ years but that should in no way deter him or anyone else from pursuing justice/compensation or clearing his name.

That's literally the opposite of what I wrote.
Also, if you claim to not know which shite country I live in, how do you know you don't already live there?

I doubt that suing them would make him anymore “that guy” than the media already made him. Damage done. He (and tbh, the rest of society) has far more to gain than lose here.

See, this is where he ****ed up. He should have never released a statement or gone on television. He should have kept his head down, and let the story fall out of the news cycle, and it would have been forgotten. Years from now, people would vaguely remember the incident, but they would not remember his name, and as an adult, he would certainly look different than the face everyone around the world wants to slap. Instead, he is going on a course that will ensure that he never escapes this.
Oh so his smirking isn't where he f*cked up? Good! You're not acting like a lunatic over these kids.
