Logan Paul: Outrage over YouTuber's Japan dead man video - BBC News

Dude shouldn't have apologized.

i guess i get the outrage but i feel like if it was someone else who people didn't already hate so much the reaction would be different. especially if he played it off as a joke rather than apologizing.

If anybody can find a link to the vid please post it. Especially if it’s not censored.

That park must be a mother****er to maintain. They get suicides and people looking for corpses. Let’s face it. If you want to look at trees you’re not going to hike and camp in a park that has a suicide every three days.

So, those bakers that refused to bake a wedding cake for some homosexuals got fined like $135,000. What a crock of shit. A bar owner has the right to refuse service to a customer if he thinks they've have had too much to drink. That is a personal opinion, is it not? Can't a bakery owner refuse service based on their personal opinions as well?

Again, I'm not saying it's a good practice, but as the owner, it is your right to refuse service. If you are wet and covered in mud, a restaurant will refuse to let you come sit in their booth. If you lack shoes and a shirt, a grocery store won't let you come in. If you wear a ski mask and hoodie, you aren't welcome in a convenience store.

Let's just keep chipping away at personal liberties until they're all gone.
