      Teddy also bathed nude in the Potomac in all weathers. Once he went with the French ambassador who insisted on keeping his gloves on in case they encountered any ladies.

    Comic Sands had some background on this and I think it explains a lot:

    Self-described content creator “Danny Spud” is known for producing ragebait video content. He frequently uses Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses to covertly film his “pranks.”

    Spuds “prank” videos routinely show him harassing strangers until they’re forced to react. No one was buying his support of anything other than self-promotion. Danny Spud doesn’t support ICE or law enforcement. Danny Spud only supports Danny Spud.

    Spud got exactly what he was hoping for, in other words. This was his plan, his plan worked, so he should be happy, right? I had felt like an “I Love ICE” sign, in this day and age, was pretty much incitement, and it turns out, it was exactly that. In a perfect world, there would be consequences for doing that.

        It’s a textbook example of chaotic good. He broke the rules to do the morally good thing.

        Yup, I think it’s appropriate. He punched someone at school. Actions have consequences no matter the reason behind it. I got suspended for a day because a bully had his hands around my throat and I cold cocked him in the side of the head.

        It’s what makes us better human beings than the right. We are perfectly okay with holding people we agree with accountable for their actions. I hope this kid has a great two day vacation from school. Sleep in and put your feet up, kid.

          You absolutely should not have been punished for defending yourself in that situation; strangulation is attempt at murder. Did anything happen to the other kid?

            Nope. Because schools and ‘zero tolerance’ policies protect abusers, not victims. by design. It’s easier to punish the person lashing out and throwing punches vs someone deliberately trying to get you to kill yourself.

            Just like we’re seeing here in 2026 when my incident happened in 2003. I’m more pissed he didn’t get anything rather than I got something. I happily took the suspension. I owned that with pride. It fell on a Friday so I had a 3 day weekend. My mom went into the school and tore the administration several new assholes. Fortunately after that I wasn’t abused by him or anyone anymore other than faint insults like being called a ‘fa**ot’ by 6 dudes who were pants fabric away from touching dicks while I walked down the road holding hands with my new girlfriend.

            I’m in my late 30s now. I’ve been married for 8 years and have two wonderful girlfriends in a poly relationship. He’s divorced and barely gets to see his kids last I heard from friends back in my hometown. A quick Facebook search shows her with a new last name an kids with the new guy. So regardless of the past, I guess I won the life lottery.

    All the hi5s when he got back prob packed some punch.

    Also, lmao, I know it’s a thing over there, but I still did not expect security & cops at the scene by default (def did expect them be quick about protecting the ICE enthusiast).

    (Also bonus funny double-take - it’s Lake Zurich, Illinois.)

      They keep anywhere from 4 to a dozen or so cops stationed at all the schools in my hometown. They are called Safety Resource Officers or something but they are usually state police. They’re billed as being there in case of emergency. Typically they just harrass minorities and shutdown and unsanctioned student movements like strikes or walk outs. As we’ve seen, they dont historically do much of anything in a real emergency.

      They’re there to stop kids from punching each other. But if someone shows up with a weapon, they’re out.

    More people should honour Punch a Nazi Day.

    (In case of doubt, Punch a Nazi Day falls on any day that ends in ‘y’.)

    “I stand for my beliefs,” Spud said after the two were separated. “I’m going to peacefully stand here and support my beliefs. I support ICE and law enforcement,” Spud said.

    “You can go peacefully f–k yourself!” the student who punched Spud yells.

    What a legend.

    “That’s against school code. No swearing in the school,” Spud responds.

    And what a weasel.

      It’s funny how they always support rules and laws when they benefit them, but ICE breaking the constitution multiple times per day isn’t an issue.

          This depends on the state laws. You have no reasonable right to privacy in a public setting in most states and schools are considered public locations. There is usually paperwork at the beginning of school that a parent signs that says something along those lines. Now when it comes to minor filming another minor, that adds another whole layer to it. But what could happen is someone could go on insta and request a takedown of the video if they felt they were filmed inappropriately.

            Schools aren’t full public settings, but limited public forums. First and Fourth Amendment protections are much lower, for example.

            And, yes, student expectations of privacy are lower, but a lot of things (like filming other students) are restricted for safety and to avoid “substantial disruption” of the learning environment. It isn’t legally justified by them being minors. Filming minors in public is generally legal.

            This kid would be in trouble for violating school rules around filming (or laws against stalking or something, but that doesn’t apply here).

            Legally, however, it could be argued that if his IG or tiktok or whatever is monetized, he’s filming for commerical purposes, which would require permits/releases, but that’s not what they’re focusing on here, either.

            And that’s not getting into potential FERPA violations and the like. Anyway, schools are an odd space, legally.

            On Tuesday – after the district’s four-day weekend – school officials spoke with Spud and gave him a one-day in-school suspension (ISS) for video recording in the school.

    Spud, who has over 60,000 followers on Instagram, posted the 47-second video to his social media profiles on Instagram, X and TikTok later that evening.

    This kid sounds like the ultimate little piece of shit. I hope he and his followers grow out of it, but he’ll probably make a bunch of money and be offered a senior position in the federal government. Which won’t prove him right, though he’ll think it does.

      I hope the cops are keeping an eye on him, because by the time he hits his college years he’s going to be trying to slip unidentified powders into women’s drinks at the bar.
