Tim mocks the New York Post for putting a photo of "Mr. Fantastic," one of the only black members of the mostly white Gilbert goons, on its front page instead of any of the white suspects.

In this bit6 moments
  • New York Post puts the one Black guy from an affluent Arizona gang on the front page, ignoring the white members of the group.
  • The Black suspect's name is Mr. Fantastic, which Tim says doesn't help the situation.
  • Tim notes the gang attacks are more of a white thing than a Black thing, but the Post ran with the afro anyway.
  • Reddit and Nextdoor are full of lurid theories about the gang, the parents allegedly in Costa Rica, and which kid is actually involved.
  • One of the suspects' mothers showed up in threads claiming she doesn't even know him and demanding proof he killed anyone.
  • Tim finds the weird mom energy on Reddit threads defending her son from murder charges genuinely funny and timing-appropriate.
