Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

[jayman3]

So, to get this straight:

- Kid makes video crying about bullies
- Video goes viral
- Pro athletes and celebrities start posting their support for Keaton
- Family starts a GoFund me page (60,000 raised in two days)
- Internet private-eye's start digging into who the family is
- Find out Keaton comes from a full blown, racist confederate-flag waving family
- Then find out Keaton was "bullied" because he called black kids n***** and they defended themselves

This is the most 2017 story of 2017.

Actually, I think it was a random person that started the GoFundMe page. The family obviously endorsed it though. And I'm not defending him saying the N word, but the bullies were probably saying some awful stuff at him for him to say the N word in the first place. We've all said stuff in the heat of the moment that we regret later on.

This is why we can't have nice things and why I personally rarely accept things at face value. I hope this family is prosecuted for this stunt.

I can see the anger at the mom. But, the kid is still clearly going through hell at school. So, I still hope he gets all those things that were promised to him by celebrities.

Agreed. It's not entirely the kids fault. What I hate is when parents exploit their kids misfortunes for fame and money.

And what exactly was the GoFundMe for? To somehow pay for this kids bullying? I didn't see a video about a family that had lost their source of income or couldn't afford food or housing.

College tuition fund I believe.

Sounds like the kid is a victim at home and at school to me.

I hope "Captain America" gets involved and the courts take this hurtful family to the cleaners.

The only way I could be more excited for this is if the superior "arrow guy" Yondu Udonta were still alive. Far superior character to Hawkeye.

Be very careful.

There's a lot of stories going around. One that a MMA fighter was interviewed and said that the mother was looking for money. The thing is, the DM messages couldn't be verified coming from the mother. Yet they still kept the article up.

GoFundMe was created by a "family friend".

I can't find any information that he actually did say the n word. Sister says he didn't.

The only confirmation is from the school that there was an incident however, it's not as bad as outlets are making it and it's been addressed.

Has it been confirmed that Ant-Man will be in this? I'm starting to wonder if Ant-Man and the Wasp takes place at the same time as this and are stuck/trying to get out of the quantum realm and that could be a possible reason why they won't be in this?

IW already looks like it's filled with way too many characters. I hope Ant-Man isn't in this

They've invited Keaton to the Infinity War premiere.

Keaton Jones "Why do they bully?" POWERFUL MESSAGE - YouTube

He's got people from The Walking Dead, Stranger Things, WWE stars, and pro athletes reaching out to him. Somebody started a gofundme college fund which has already doubled the 20K goal.

It's nice when a story like this breaks and catches fire. It's impossible not to feel that misery he is expressing in that video.

Their tweets:

https://twitter.com/MarkRuffalo/stat...32388926545920

I wonder if they will rescind their offer now it has come to light that he was using racial epithets against black people and his mother has been seen making insensitive racist remarks on her Facebook page.

And how do we know he was bullied? Oh thats right, because he said so. lol

By that logic, you should be willing to accept that he called black people the n word and got (justifiably) reprimanded. He comes from a woman who poses with the Confederate flag and has made several fb posts about black people kneeling during sport events. She's protesting a protest for equality. If you don't think she's filling his head with nonsense, you are in denial.
