(19,477 posts)Do we know that the young white oafs menacing the black man have paid for what they did?
I like that Photoshop, but putting red hats on them doesn't constitute karma.

Some might call that karma, but you can call it whatever you want.

As for those red hat kids, their photos are already all over the internet, and many of their names will be there too. Employers and college admission offices routinely check social media nowadays.

(19,477 posts)because it will happen to an entirely different group of young men who are decades younger? That makes no sense.
What I'm asking is how the men in that old photograph suffered any kind of retribution.

(53,778 posts)retribution. I said it doesn't always happen quickly. I also said their photos are already all over the internet and their names will probably soon follow.
In fact, the name of the smirking kid is here on this link, along with his lawyer-written explanation for his alleged side of the event, which is also online for eternity now too, as are many videos of the disturbing incident.

(19,477 posts)Karma means nothing if those who commit an act don't suffer for it themselves.

(53,778 posts)acknowledge. With all that info on the internet on the red hat kid's disgusting treatment of a native American elder and veteran, it's foolish to think that kid won't sufffer some repercussions in the future. It may not be tomorrow but it'll happen as it has to the Pool Patrol Pattys, whether it be punishment from the school, on a job search or college admission or some other unforseen situation in the future.

(19,477 posts)Show me that karma was visited on the men in that photograph.
And as for the schoolboy in the MAGA hat smirking at the Indian, there is no guarantee that he'll suffer. It's not inevitable. Even with the Pool Patrol Pattys, we only know of a few well-publicized incidents. I'm sure that such things happen all the time and the vast majority of perpetrators do not suffer any consequences.
