Tl:dr summary

Guy in Iowa uses a sign at a college football game to raise over a million dollars for a children's hospital via Venmo.

Busch beer offers to match

Douchebag reporter from Des Moines Register thinks it is newsworthy to dig up tweets from 2011 when viral star was 16 (what would you have on your tweets at that age?)

Smug asshole douchebag reporter thinks he has a huge scoop, brags about it, Busch drops plans to further match donations, and when backlash starts, reporter claims these tweets were a "routine background check" of the fundraising hero

Internet, which is always undefeated, digs up tons of tweets from douchebag reporter. Reporter locks account, Des Moines Register says they are "investigating." This won't shock you, but the reporter in question is an ex-BuzzFeed staffer

I think it's well known that I'm no Trumpian, but is he really wrong when he calls the media the "enemy of the people?"

I read a good point . We seal juvenile records in criminal / court cases ( with some truly heinous shit they committed ) once they’re adults because they shouldn’t be held responsible for things they did as a....16 yr old but there’s no standard at all for “ tweets “ . Nail them to the cross !!!

I'm struggling to think of how I might defend myself if any of the shit I say here ever went public. You can't take me saying that someone likes to have cum slurped out of their asshole by their dad at face value. You're missing much needed context!

kids are stupid. kids say stupid things. Hopefully its becoming increasingly clear to children that this stuff will stick with you where ever you go. I just don't know how anyone is going to be president in 20 years.

the reality though is that this newspaper, reporter and even Anheiser Busch just need to let the dust settle, wait it out until the lynch mob has moved on to something else.

They were 2 stupid tweets, not class x felonies.

As one who was once 16 himself and raised 2 boys who both somehow made it through their teen years I can safely say that MANY 16 year olds are incapable of looking much past 10 minutes in the future, let alone 10 years.

Between social media and the idiot media passing dumb social media postings off as 'news' this country in many ways has gone off the deep end.

That's also a solution to this.

I think the reporter is definitely a douchebag but it's wild to me how many people have posted blatantly racist shit. I've been on social media since 2005. I've said a lot of dumb shit. You'll never find anything racist though. I don't even share those dumb Mexican Word of the Day memes!

The "cancel culture" stuff is obviously a problem, but I sort of understand it as it pertains to celebrities. You really have to just be an awful human being to pull it on some random guy trying to raise money for charity though.

Not necessarily excusing anything racist but you have to really be scum to dig through the thoughts of a 16 year old in order to hurt him when he's doing something positive. We've all said or done things as a kid that we regret even if it weren't racist.

Even then, it sounds like the 2011 tweets in question were just repeating jokes from a comedy special. God help anyone who would've repeated a joke from Eddie Murphy's "Delirious" had social media been a thing then.

It's always interesting to see that when someone goes through old Tweets that they almost always have something as bad or worse in their own timeline.

It's pretty unfair to say repeating a joke is "racist". With most of these re-surfaced Tweets it's usually quoting rap lyrics or repeating some comedy act.

Cancel culture and hypocrites is exactly why I fear Trump is gonna win 2020. This is a perfect example.

There is a reason there is juvie and kids under a certain age dont have records, they are freakin kids. Also everyone is imperfect and has said/done stupid things.

Anyone listen to Stern in the 90s......the theory was all his racist schtick he could say was because he had Robin at his side.

Again, I think this cancel cutlure, find eveything everyone has done bad has reached its point. That said, I think it is good and people are now fighting back against it.

Economic precarity has played a big part in everyone becoming such repulsive little hall monitors. Everything's a race that you gotta kneecap the other people out of.

The thing that he posted I heard was a repeat of what was said on television which brings up several questions regarding what the standards are? IF a joke is said on television and is repeated as a joke by someone else, what the hell is the harm leveled at a 16 year old kid.

This is why you post all your nonsensical thoughts on websites like this where it cannot be verifiably traced back to you even if someone tried!
