When I was studying Japanese in Japan, almost all of my fellow students were from China. It was discreetly explained to me at one point that they cannot talk about the government or politics for fear of being brought back to China or something happening to their families, something I had not previously understood at the time (I was a young American). I had naively wanted to discuss these things and all they would ever really say when around other Chinese people was how Mao was the greatest Chinese person in history.

It’s real and it’s been going on for decades.

Why would people even want to hunt doves? They’re tiny–not exactly much of a food source. And their plumage is unremarkable.

This is a really sad story, but it’s also a story of parental neglect. Why did this kid with mental health issues have unrestricted internet access? Why did he have access to his stepfather’s gun?

Those aren’t the fault of some chatbot.
