I BEG YOU - do not repost, screenshot, or otherwise repeat the outrageous statements, lies, misinformation, and discriminatory language used by others. Reams of research proves that reposting it, even to refute it or express outrage, serves to effectively spread it. PLEASE STOP.

They CANNOT have this boy living a long life of martyrdom.
