Update: They’ve deleted the tweet, but screenshots are forever:

Got that, teens? “Respect” the laws or else!
LOL asshat magazine claims to be for teens and social justice. But endorses death sentence for alleged vandalism/petty theft by white males https://t.co/qy0uW5ajPo

Yeah, that’s not really what you’d expect from “social justice” experts. Let’s see how the mag feels about some other issues, shall we?
As awful as your take is, I'm sure it's compounded by the fact that you probably have no problem with illegal immigration. https://t.co/fw7mR9K3lv

Bingo! No “respect their laws” here:

Want to bet these folks referred to Michael Brown & Trayvon Martin as ‘kids’ or ‘innocent’? https://t.co/beGCsexpEI

We can do this all day:
The people responsible for #SandraBland's death will NOT be held accountable. This is setting the message that black lives don't matter.

She needed to take responsibility for her own actions. She should have cooperated with the cops. https://t.co/PVDLiXAIKg

Where’s the “respect their laws” advice now?
Keep in mind, the mag doubled-down on its stupidity:
Of course not, the punishment was harsh but also you have to respect the laws in other countries

There is a solution for this, via the Free Beacon’s Sonny Bunch:

Harsh, but fair?
Scientific fact: Youth highly correlated with stupidity and ignorance. Perfect correlation at birth but trend can hold for decades. https://t.co/c6ev5JYGYg
