Remember that alleged lynching of a bi-racial kid in New Hampshire? Periodically I’ve been Googling for new information, because you may recall I applied my superpowers of skepticism to that story and found it didn’t pass the smell test.
I’m not sure I consider Newsweek to be the most journalistic of sources, but here’s an interview with the parents of one of the alleged attackers. And here’s an ABC News story with more detailed information from all sides (the photograph did indeed come from Facebook).
To me it’s still inconclusive. We are only hearing the parents’ interpretation of events that they did not personally witness.
The only thing we know for sure is that you still can’t trust anything you read on the Internet, and viral sharing is dangerous to human lives.
