Is there evidence that this is a racially motivated crime? I don't really want to see the pics.
Nothing conclusive that we know of yet...mostly circumstantial
It's a mostly white school and the girl was bullied by some of the other kids for being different...and there have been other instances of bullying like that in the school. Nothing directly saying she was being bullied because she was black though. At least one of the kids that bullied her previously was in on the rope attack.
I think you overestimate people particularly young children. Most don't understand consequence of actions until it is experienced or witnessed.

When playing the game in the 80s and 90s no one associated queer with homosexual when playing that game.
That school is done.
I would defend it and say punish those stupid ass kids. But let's face it. They basically did nothing and kept it from the parent.
I am not for schools being shut down. But if this school district goes under , and all administrators aware of this goes to jail, id be quite glad.
This is the kinda shit that demands action. Not stupid pop tart guns.
Mostly because it leads to negotiation and bargaining power. Almost never do the initial sums actually remain the same. I literally worked on a case where someone was suing for 100 million for about 2 million in damages to real estate (it was a whole contractor thing, times, dates, cancellations, etc, not like explosions or tornado damage)
needless to say they did not get 100 million.

literally and mentally
Well times change and just because you could get away with horrible stuff in the past doesn't mean a slap on the write is fine today.
This is what annoys me when people complain about PC, they use a argument like ''it was fine 20 years ago'', but the fact is it wasn't fine 20 or 30 years ago. Just because you could get away with it back then doesn't make it right.
Well this sucks.
trying to get 3 millions for a small rope burn?
thats some expensive treatment
