Absolutely beautiful, props to the person that is behind it

BS... the FBI doesn't take this long to digitally track unless a service provider is blocking them. How far was the origin tracked so far? Who isn't cooperating?

[SidewalkCitizenLA]

Follow the money because that kind of detailed information isn't cheap...

[pinoygal]

It's hard to block a number -said no-one.

[TanyaOsterman-hwwv]

Has Trump spoken out against this? Come on.

[CheekyBird]

Sounds like a state actor (Russia, China, NK etc) who has access to student registration databases or federal census data.

[birdgangswoop]

You'd think it was an employee with access to school records, those records having students' numbers. 🤔

When you can’t find one, you create one

[nannerz]

What government agency has been hacked or something cuz I don't know anyone else who knows stuff like that besides that like what was it the US census

[Bob-pqq]

And they can't find this person why?

[BaseballPlayer]

Not cool to do that to Hispanix. Still support TRUMP

[ImRAYDEVIL]

I bet you was it's just a couple of edgy teenagers cuz I don't think no adult would do this you would have to be frankly an immature adult

If you want a better sense of how people feel about this story, sort by "Newest first" and you'll see all the messages that didn't make it to the comment section.

It's starting up and January 20, 2025 is still two months away.

I condemn this hateful behavior. But I question the authenticity. Since Jesse Smollit showed us they will resort to any act like this to make some screwy point!

[Surfboard]

Trump is 80, he'll be gone soon.

[cesarsalgadosalgado]

So texts are more dangerous than a gun really bruh yall are paying more attention to feelings rather than violent attacks

[MariaWaters-cb]

It hasn't been since the election. It's been worse since our country allowed the antisemitism protest at college campuses. The hate only got worse in the last few years. Hate needs to stop at all levels. We need peace 🕊️

The FBI is investigating themselves again.

[teresabell]

They voted for Trump and should endure the consequences
