Shaun King is getting destroyed on Twitter rn
- Thread starter SHØGVN
- Start date
If I rob every house on your street except yours, should I get angry when people accuse me of robbing your house?
A lot of people have had issues with him for various reasons that aren't rooted in bad faith. Him having a "tweet first ask questions later" strategy to engagement/clicks rather than actually following through with basic journalistic practices (which backfired spectacularly with that case that turned out to be a false accusation) has been an issue, as well as other grievances along different lines coming from people generally aligned with him politically.
That's weird. wonder why he's not threatening legal action against washingtonpost and daily beast for their accusations? but he's going all in on some rando on twitter with 11k followers.
Like I said. This isn't the first time I've heard of controversy surrounding King and money. I mean I hope it isn't true, but way too many people have spoken up about this shit.
Media organizations have a lot more money that would drag a lawsuit out.
Here's Shaun's Medium article about the accusations from three years ago: https://medium.com/@ShaunKing/a-com...hroughout-the-black-lives-matter-fba726f6d8af
The whole thing was a bit weird. First he spread the info of the falsely accused guy but then also provided the police with crucial information that led to the real shooter. https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/06/us/jazmine-barnes-shaun-king-tip/index.html
Probably has something to do with neither of them accusing him of stealing funds from Cyntonia Brown, someone he never raised any money for?
I mean, that was the answer you were looking for, right?
You would be angry if people accused you of desiring my tacky shit
Nobody knows it's the real shooter(s) because the eye witnesses described a white male perp that also matched the description of another case months prior. and then police somehow ended up with two black men who supposedly confessed, but then plead not guilty and one's attorney is saying their constitutional rights were violated.
It's blatantly obvious you didn't even read the article
yeah that's true. I just saw the headline. should've read it
Stephen King deserves better than being compared to Shaun King
The Dark Tower deserved a better movie :'[ fuck Hollywood
no Steve King lol that republican rep in the news for being too blatently racist
I see defense where the OP points to bullying...
I mean if someone accused me of stealing money from charity or fund raiser, I'd point it out and reject it too. That's not a call for doxing.

Because the article doesn't accuse him of anything? It reports that a right-wing blogger accused King of stealing the money, which then resulted in a legal shit storm that fucked up the family's direct access to the money. It also reports that after that debacle, King started a second fund-raiser that they were then more careful about how they legally set it up, that resulted them receiving $25,000 directly. Nowhere does it accuse King of stealing anything.
Y'all need to actually read through shit sometimes, I swear. People jumping to a conclusions based on a title of a thread or an article is half the damn problem we have with misinformation these days.
Yeeeaaahhhhhhh.
He tweeted about some stuff that happened in my neck of the woods last year in regards to a killing. Once the correct news came out about it Shaun didn't follow up from it so the narrative looks different.
I haven't been following this case recently but as an attorney I want to point out that you should never, in any case, read anything into someone pleading not guilty. Like, if you plead guilty the next step is you get sentenced...you have no real opportunity to defend yourself or try to negotiate some kind of deal or whatever (since you've already admitted to the court that you're guilty).
Again, not following that specific case now but wanted to point this out.
Even if this chick is a liar I'm still giving Shaun King the side-eye since King hasn't been transparent about fundraisers he's held in the past. He comes off as a fraud and ambulance chaser to me.
User Warned: Peddling conspiracies. There are plenty of ways to critique Shaun King without regurgitating unfounded Breitbart "Not black!" rumors.
Rachel Dolezal brother.
is there any actual follow up to this that actually elaborates on who he exploited specifically because a lot of this stuff seems to be vague allegations and it'd be neat to see some concrete information
There's tons of reasons to dislike him (the politicians he pushed in 15-16 for one) but this aint a good reason for me.
Why did you only include the tweets that followed the narrative you were spinning? OP should be updated.
Sure, call him out on transparency, but if you draw a straight line asserting he's not being honest and taking money he (didn't) raise , the burden of proof is on you. She fucked up big time. I don't think it's malicious but ignorance around how to frame a topic of debate.
This is the thing that I always can't wrap my head around when I hear this stuff. Its never anything concrete just conjecture.
Didn't know about that development. If his tip possibly led to the wrong guys... Oh boy
Don't know who this Shaun chump is, never interacted with him on twitter, and yet I'm blocked.
So, damn right, fuck blockbot users.
You can do good while still having moments of being a shithead, Shaun King has had more than a few of those moments.
This appears to be something where both parties are wrong, and it's just a cluster fuck of a situation that everyone is using the dog pile.
Even the people not involved speaking out for one side or the other I'd probably tell them just sit this one out.

Shaun King gets regularly called out by BLM members for posting black trauma "porn" on his timeline. It's no wonder his second wave of popularity after his race drama is with the white liberals of Twitter and the Intercept crew.
Clarissa is full of shit. She made a false allegation that Shaun stole money which legally can get her on the hook. She got a letter from lawyers, deleted her tweet and refused to apologise. Then she's playing victim because Shaun got lawyers involved?
This isn't the first time stuff has arisen about Shaun King. Being the most visible person allows you to escape criticism a lot.
Twitter is a weird platform when simply commenting on something somebody said publicly on their own non-locked Twitter profile constitutes doxxing and/or harassment simply because you have a lot of followers.
Like, get over yourselves. Your mentions will recover, they are not sacred.
