Multiple people who messaged Kadri racist comments found and punished

Nazem Kadri received a multitude of racist messages and threats through his Instagram and Twitter account. Yesterday his wife revealed some of those messages and much to the surprise of some of those people, the internet went to work uncovering their identities.

While some of these messages were sent from anonymous accounts others were sent from personal accounts with links to people's personal information. While the thought process for some is that the internet remains anonymous that's really not the case.


Today it was announced that some of these individuals had received punishments for their actions.

Drew Bauman sent Kadri the following message:


Bauman also included in his bio that he played for a local St. Louis soccer team, who were promptly contacted about his behavior. The club was quick to act sending out the following statement.

This is another example of how your internet activity can impact your everyday life. How your actions have consequences and why it's important to be a good person.
