This is a lie, and the account posting it knows it's a lie because they have disabled replies, disabled quote tweets, and are blocking anyone who points out that it's a lie.

 ‪Thomas Payne‬ ‪@thomaspayne.bsky.social‬ · 2d And while the right wing story was constantly changing, the police report and the story from the teenagers both remained consistent. The teenagers say that big balls was harassing and trying to pick up the 15-year-old girl, and when he wouldn't leave her alone the boy jumped in to defend her.

The claims about the attackers framing the story are not supported by the story or the police report.

Just coming online this weekend now. Can you someone link why this is a lie and why it matters? I feel like I'm missing something.

It's a lie because it's not true. It matters, because telling the truth is important.

I feel like we're in agreement about this. I'm just not sure what the untruth is. Was Big Balls not assaulted? Was he not harassing someone? Was he in a different city when he got wounded? Was there only one assailant instead of two? I'm seriously just a bit lost.

You know, I was genuinely in the realm of 'Well, maybe they have real information about this' or 'Maybe they haven't looked into it and got mislead by something' up to like, 2 hours ago. It's, uh, difficult to model a reasonable thing where they don't post anything, but block (manually) hundreds.

Something like 1500 people over five minutes. That was done via script. Looks like the account did something similar back in January, but only blocked a couple hundred that time.

Oggie @oggie.bsky.social

Fair enough, I wasn't entirely clear on how many, I scrolled back to the start and saw it at a rate of a few every minute or so starting over an hour ago, I had just assumed that rate was constant, but you're right, apparently they jumped an order of magnitude later.

And they're just posting other things now, which is certainly a Choice (nothing you likely haven't seen elsewhere, not worth looking at, was just shutting down windows). Still no actual things said about this whole situation.

It is true. What isn’t true is that he was sexually harassing a teenager (well, aside from his own self-abuse).

So the kids have been released in that they've been stepped down from juvenile confinement to being allowed to go home pending additional proceedings. But that's typical with juvenile defendants.

I respectfully disagree that his blocking people is an admission that he's lying. To me, it reads like an unwillingness to admit that his favored narrative is wrong. Something you do see occasionally on social media.

I'm more impressed that he's gotten nearly 8,000 people to block him, mostly in the last half hour! Mind you, I don't fault him for falling for the "BB is a sexual harasser" story — I fell for it too. His sin is not admitting that he did.
