When a story has already had major attention on HN (which this one has: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10226196), we treat follow-up posts as dupes unless they add significant new information.

Maybe the original article has expanded, but this seems to have more information to me: his invitation to the whitehouse, the fact that the mayor stands by the police, and that he is still suspended and will change school.

While interesting, I wouldn't consider those things "significant", especially as they have been covered in the comments in linked thread anyways.

I guess your first point's fair, but not everyone reads the comments. (Oh, who am I kidding! ;))

For the first few months I used HN I didn't read the comments. Now, occasionally I just read the comments and don't read the article, if there's an interesting thread that sidetracks me that doesn't really require knowledge of the article.

My apologies; I submitted this one because there was a press conference with a lot of new info that came out, not covered in the other story or in the comments: Specifically that he wasn't going to go back to the school, that he was suspended, and that he had been interrogated without his parents present.

I didn't know that he needed to change school for no reason before this article...
