S17E2
Is it just me or does this episode seem gaslighting? why were they shocked that the DA wanted to charge this case as a hate crime, the only reason they attacked that person was because she was trans. (what else could it possibly be but a hate crime?) why do Darius and the mom find it unfair that the friends just get probation? hes literally the one that first approached (there was no peer pressure even needed) and the one that pushed them off the bridge. Their excuse is that he's a good kid.
A "good kid" would never physically attack someone else unprovoked, and if he felt he needed to prove a point, why didn't he just yell an insult. how is he so different from a "bad kid"? what, because he draws, goes to the library and has a kind mother.
They say it's unfair that he is being tried in court because "he is just a kid", but the person that lost their life was also just a kid, that was just minding their business doing photography. the only good kid was the trans victim and family that wanted to protect darius's future despite the tragedy.
I don't get it, help me understand what I'm missing please.
