Situations like this is why I don’t even bother with Google Docs written to expose people anymore. I don’t even waste my time. I’m just going to be blunt here but you’ll notice that almost every Google Doc is written by a child or someone chronically online. That’s because grown ass adults have enough life experience to realize that if you truly want justice, then you’ll call a lawyer and handle the situation in a court of law. Nobody has ever been arrested or convicted because someone released a Google Doc on them. Any grown adult also knows that the very last thing you should do if you’re serious about delivering justice is post about it online. The very first thing any lawyer will tell you is to shut up and let them do their job. Don’t say anything. Because anything you say and do can and will be used in court. And if even one single detail is out of place or out of line you could be screwed. I don’t think kids in this community realize how much potential legal trouble they’re putting themselves in by doing stuff like this. In the MiniToon situation, he could have easily just had his lawyers subpoena Twitter, get the burner accounts personal info, then send them a lawsuit in the mail suing them and forcing a court battle. A lot of people like to use the minor card on Twitter, but that doesn’t matter in the real world. Whoever wrote and publicized that document would have been publicly named in a public lawsuit and forced to defend their position in court. If they’re underage, then their parents get pulled into it as well. And if you lose then not only are you paying thousands and thousands of dollars but it’s also permanently on your record and any potential employers will find it in a background check. Basically you just screwed yourself, and if you’re a minor, you screwed your family too. And all it takes to lose is a few details being wrong in a 100 page Google Doc. A lot of people say well ‘lawyers are expensive’, but they don’t realize that if the situation goes to court then you’re going to be paying for a lawyer either way and also even more should you lose the case. And I’m not defending anyone. This is just the reality of how the real world works. If someone did something bad and you have evidence of it, then you need to contact the proper authorities. Unfortunately the Google Doc method has become a charade and mockery of itself. Call me when someone gets convicted, but until then, don’t waste my time with Google Docs.
