Reporting news is being treated as hate speech now? And it's worth 500 points??

My original post:

They can be successful and wealthy, but apparently, they need blood on the streets to feel satisfied.

He scored a hat trick against Barcelona and then shocked everyone with death threats—now there's video evidence!

Last night, Kylian Mbappé pulled off an incredible feat, scoring three goals against Barcelona to lead Paris Saint-Germain to a 4-1 victory at the Camp Nou during the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16.

However, a video has surfaced that pays a rather dark tribute to the brilliant Frenchman of the match. Right in the middle of the game, he allegedly threatened Jordi Alba with his life.

"When I see you on the street, I'm going to kill you," Mbappé Alba reportedly told him.
"Who exactly are you planning to kill?" Gerard Piqué interjected.
"I'll kill him on the street," Mbappé repeated.

A sick society.

So, we get 500 points for this? As someone who has been on this forum for a long time without any history of trolling, I find this hard to swallow. I know you distribute points and bans quite selectively, but isn't this a bit much, even for a site like this? Honestly, it’s embarrassing for you all. You can go ahead and issue me a permanent ban if you like, but I wanted to leave this here. Could lonebadger6 please step forward and explain the reasoning behind this?

Reporting the news, are we? :D

it’s pretty obvious to them that street killings are just business as usual

Just three quick, easy questions, and you’ll probably figure out exactly why this qualifies as hate speech on your own...

1. Who exactly are they?

2. How many of them are there?

3. How many of them are actually out there killing people in the streets?

Maybe if you ask yourself these three simple questions, you'll find the answer as to why this isn't hate speech:

1. Who are they?

2. How many of them are there?

3. How many of them are out killing people in the streets?

You handed out 500 points without even knowing for sure, since you're just asking questions. If you weren't certain, why didn't you ask me to explain instead of just slapping me with 500 points?

Why did you cut out the first part of my post where I wrote, "They can be successful and wealthy, but they clearly enjoy killing people in the streets.
"
Of course, I was speaking generally about sociopaths and lunatics, who, unfortunately, exist everywhere around us. Being rich or successful doesn't stop a sociopath or a madman from killing someone if they feel slighted. We've seen it happen plenty of times. That was my sole intention. So, could you please tell me how you interpreted it otherwise? (I think I know, but I'd love to hear it). You can't put words in my mouth that I never said.

As for my comment about a "sick society," I was referring broadly to the situation in FR, where we've seen a massive rise in violence over the last few years—everything from street shootings and attacks in cafes, newsrooms, or concert halls to mass killings and decapitations. I truly believe my critique isn't misplaced. I really hope things improve there.

I'm sorry, but I think you've missed the mark here. Honestly, I'd just like to hear an apology so we can move past this.

Come on, please, let's not pretend we're all playing dumb here...
