I just dove into the enormous rabbit hole of Reckless Ben's Stolen Lego video and holy fucking cow there's so much to this story. ö_ö
The company in question is doing everything to get these videos taken down so if you're considering watching it do it while you still easily can
Basically this whole story, while incredibly brazen in its obvious criminality, is also what PoC & Black people have been telling everyone is happening to them all the time. Especially all the police crap. In that regard I feel kinda like "of course it had to happen to a bunch of white people for the public to notice".
Which doesn't make it less of an injustice and I hope everyone involved in this scheme ends up in jail and the family that got their stuff stolen gets justice! But right now it looks like B&M still have the relevant parts of the authorities on their side. And many of the victims still seem pretty trustful in the establishment (even cops) doing the right thing if they just learn about the misunderstanding. Idk if that's a good horse to bet on.
I don't usually like this kind of sensationalist coverage... in this case it might help shine light on some pretty grim stuff that's been happening
That's so true, I'm watching the whole thing and it's basically the average white bullying minority trick but have been technically reduced because Ben is a white guy.
If one of Brian's friend be doing this it would be way worse.
