Except the comment is absolute horseshit. Vrt is the public broadcasting and news service and absolutely not a tabloid, furthermore this story is well documented and has been all over Belgian news for a week so it’s absolutely uncalled for to call the veracity of this story into question.
Feel free to cross reference with the article and point out inaccuracies. As far as I can tell, the article is factual but perhaps a bit short on details and context. Nevertheless, this story has been covered extensively and much more in depth in Dutch on the same website. In fact, I retrieved the link to the verdict from an article on vrt.be.
That is the litteral definition of rage bait. Leaving out details and context to just tell people what they should feel. It doesen’t matter if it’s on a subject matter I would otherwise be in support of or not. It’s fucked up.
If you have a good point to make, you can make it proper. Doing it with rage bait is a fucked up way to profit from a tragedy while undermining real progress on solving the underlying problem by fucking with people’s trust. This is performative bullshit that grand standers do to make a buck off something, while causing more harm in the long term.
And I did read the PDF you linked after translating it, and that only verified how rage baity that article was written (at least their English version in the op link). Here it is in English for anyone else who wants to see: https://imgur.com/a/CeM1VDi
