      You think people with a limited verbal filter who speak their mind shouldn’t be allowed to go out at night or drink alcohol?

      I think ableists shouldn’t be allowed on the internet.

      I’m sorry what?

      You clearly read the article to know she was intoxicated, so you must have also seen the kids words quoted as "you look like my Nana, she’s a lesbian.

      That’s oversharing, people do that on a normal day, let alone that she was an intoxicated neurodiverse child having a panic attack. Without context it’s not an insult, with context its a child being manhandled while in distress.

      It seems like you have a problem with her as a person for either being a drunk teenager, neurodivergent or possibly something else? Kids fuck about, the consequences in this instance should be a hangover and a stern talking to, not assault and arrest.

      Saying someone looks like someone else who happens to be gay is not homophobic… You’re homophobic for thinking it is.

        Honestly, I don’t think it is.
        From an outside perspective, someone might genuinely have that opinion. It might be up for debate (and ratio), however.
        From another, you could understand how someone was willing to take the risk to experience a more normal life.

            Also, if a 16-year-old in the UK wants to go out and get pissed, stopping them is no easy feat.
