NOT THE SAME GUY
I've deleted a bunch of comments that were based on the assumption he was the same guy arrested during the incident involving the filming of a video, but a Boston Police spokesperson says they are, in fact, two different people.
Do we need a standard for when to "dox"?
It's happened a lot in the UH comments over the years. Sometimes it's relevant, sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's the wrong person. Sometimes it's posted like "here's someone with the same name... no idea whether it's the same person... but let's drag them through the dirt, just in case."
Yes, I should have been more careful in approving anon messages
More specifically, the first one, especially given that we're talking about somebody who has just died When I saw the name, I figured I'd contact BPD in the morning to see if there was a connection (as noted, it's two different people); I should have applied the same caution to the initial anon comment I let through.
My bad. Thanks for nuking me.
