Which is not the point I specifically asked.

The poster I replied to seems to be implying they have all the facts that this was a malicious event by the teenagers to cry wolf just because the woman provided a receipt after the fact. If that is the only facts being brought to the table, then that fact alone proves no such thing.

Them weaponizing something is irrelevant to if this was a misunderstanding where they thought they were in the right that it was their bike. So the question is what are ALL of the facts, not just the facts that conveniently paint a narrative. A receipt after the fact in hindsight is not all of the facts to suggest or imply the teenagers were faking in the moment.

Social media tends to do this a lot. For example some and their initial responses to the event. Often social media and news sites cherry picks information and conveniently omit key details to paint a villain and victim to often a misunderstanding blown out of proportion. A phenomenon that often causes unnecessary divide because it fuels division.

I mean, he's definitely concluding this was a theft attempt without sufficient evidence, but whether men who were objectively in the wrong should be scorned for trying to wrongfully ruin a woman's life doesn't really matter if the men genuinely thought they were in the right or not.

You can argue that we can't be certain it was an attempted robbery and could have "just been a misunderstanding", but you have to accept that the men's actions to try and slander the woman as a thief on social media are inexcusable.

We have enough evidence to say, without a doubt, that the woman was not a thief and those accusing her of being one are in the wrong with no exception. We don't need any more evidence to clear that point up. If you were somehow attempting to communicate that you accept the men were in the wrong but didn't think we should label them as thieves, you failed to communicate that intent when you attacked the concept of the receipt as being definitive evidence of anything.
