@pardonmewithp @Quietnthechaos @CBSDetroit *my* criticism of their behavior has nothing to do with their race.

@RobertW013 @Quietnthechaos @CBSDetroit You fail to realize everything in this country is about race

Teenagers took over downtown Detroit on Friday night, marking the second time in two weeks of such a gathering. Business owners are worried that if the social media trend continues, fewer people will want to visit the area. cbsnews.com/detroit/news/d…

@Quietnthechaos @pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit literally nothing to do with race, if the planned takeover involved a bunch of teens just being loud that’s no issue. multiple group fights, jumping on cars, a shooting, and groups running through active traffic is obviously not acceptable?

@RobertW013 @pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit And if we’re honest it’s probably not wanting specific kids in public spaces. I doubt this would be framed as apocalyptic if it was 10 teams of yt lacrosse players for a conference walking around downtown being loud.

@Quietnthechaos @pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit you went from not showing *any* of what I claimed to saying it was only 1. the vids that came up on my fyp show 2 group fights and 2 more about to occur, along with a shooting lmao. again, just bc they didn’t post the full fights due to tiktok tos doesn’t mean they didn’t occur.

@RobertW013 @pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit By proving you wrong? There are hundreds of kids and you can only show one instance of the fighting. The articles written don’t mention any fights, shootings, vandalism, etc that people keep saying “could happen” you just don’t want kids in public spaces.

@Quietnthechaos @pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit you’re genuinely so dumb

@RobertW013 @pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit Posturing isn’t the same as fighting is it? One fight out of how many kids there? Describing kids walking on sidewalks downtown as a dangerous “takeover” is absurd.

@Quietnthechaos @pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit are you blind? 4 of them briefly show fighting/ about to fight. tiktok doesn’t allow violence so they’re keeping the clips brief on purpose. another video literally said “when they started shooting” and in the end of the full tiktok people start running away.

@RobertW013 @pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit This video doesn’t show any of the things you said other than the end with one car. Why do you care if kids are downtown memeing and doing dances and hanging out?

@finsmaga86 @pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit the world would be a better place if your racist ass dead

@pardonmewithp @RobertW013 @CBSDetroit LMAO Nig asks for specific gets them and chimps out. Its no wonder you clowns get some money and get as far away from other blacks as possible.

@pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit shiny bald ass man tryna talk about how I look is craaaazy

@RobertW013 @CBSDetroit You are quite exhausting. Go eat

@pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit Point out where I generalized or even spoke about an entire group of people? I’ve only spoken about what literally occurred at the takeover bc yall are pretending like it wasn’t outrageous behavior. Not once have I disparaged or generalized black teens 😐

@RobertW013 @CBSDetroit Yes you are. It’s literally a tactic of white supremacy to generalize an entire group of people based on a few examples. If thats the case whit people should be seen as the biggest danger to humanity, but they aren’t. It’s one thing to establish the places you listed…

@pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit i’m not justifying police brutality? you’re downplaying teens literally fighting each other, carrying guns, jumping on cars, & shooting in public. this should be a moment for adults to support these teens and help them live a better life and instead yall making excuses

@RobertW013 @CBSDetroit You’re white using Black lingo while inadvertently justifying police brutality against Black teens. That’s why you skinny as hell now, sick ass soul. Man y’all get on my nerves so bad. Go focus on gaining twenty more pounds, crackhead 🫩

@pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit teens downtown weren’t being detained for being black. they were detained for jumping on cars, multiple group fights, running through active traffic, and shooting. there’s an abundance of videos from the teens themselves documenting this lmfao. bffr

@RobertW013 @CBSDetroit Now say what happens when teens, specifically Black teens, attempt to occupy those spaces as well? And then name the options they had downtown closer to where the opening day festivities were going on?

@pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit centennial park along the riverfront has a huge pistons branded basketball court, the shepherd has a skatepark funded by tony hawk, DIA is free, the entire riverfront is free, pickleball court is downtown, newly renovated rec centers are all across the city, belle isle?

@RobertW013 @CBSDetroit Name the actual places in the city where these things are vs generic options…

@sceneboyfriend @CBSDetroit this ignorant reply would make more sense if the teens themselves weren’t all over the internet posting videos of fights, talking about how people were shooting, showing off jumping on cars, and running all through active traffic 🫶🏼

@RobertW013 @CBSDetroit Mass public violence where 😭 I live in Detroit i didn't see anything even resembling "mass public violence" just say you're afraid of black kids and go work on yourself 😭

@pardonmewithp @CBSDetroit public parks, skateparks, basketball courts, pickleball courts, a riverfront, free museums, recreation centers, an abundance of cheap food spots, etc counts as nowhere to go now?

@CBSDetroit I’ll beat you bitches ass. Write something that actually analyzes WHY teens have no where to fucking go

@sceneboyfriend @CBSDetroit they’re mad that they’re planning takeovers that have turned into mass public violence???? who tf wants to walk around while teens brawl in large groups tf

@CBSDetroit You're MAD that people wanna be in downtown Detroit ???? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 so backwards

@JENNontheRocks_ museums, an abundance of parks, recreation centers, the riverfront, cheap restaurants/ food trucks, their friends house, etc teens have places to go lol. trying to frame a planned teen takeover, that predictably turned to violence, as a lack of availabile options is insane.

Teens don’t have nowhere to go let’s write an article on how this impacts businesses. Yall playing too much.
