I won't speak on his behalf, as I don't know what his intentions were. You claim to know, and I think it'll be fairly evident by now that nothing I say will change your mind, and I have no desire to do that anyway so....ok. Whatever you say. I would point out that the person wearing the MAGA hat knows exactly what he's doing as well. Just because you guys deny that there is anything negative about wearing that hat and it's just supporting the POTUS is complete ******** that anyone can see through in a heartbeat.
Kind of like characterizing a guy softly hitting a drum and singing as walking up to everyone and beating a drum in their face? Tell me more. They're making blatantly racist actions towards a Native American. Again, I get that you're trying your ******* damndest to minimize that but it's right there in the video. I saw you downplay it as "I've seen worse watching a Braves or Chiefs game". Which, again, fine. That's how you want to play it, play it that way but don't expect me to buy that same ******** excuse. In my world. As I've said before now, a couple times. They're both doing deplorable, stupid, ignorant **** to each other. One is not better than the other. I get that to you they are because you've got an obvious bias in this. No, I shouldn't. I don't need to. There is no benefit to me if I have to defend a groups actions. I don't agree with any of them. |

Oh come on. They reacted to a man walking, singing a song and banging a drum like he was approaching with a megaphone saying their school sucks and their father smelt of elderberries. That...is problematic. What about the fact that this was a school trip to a forced birth rally? How freaking weird is that? |

Resistance filth are doxxing 16 year olds on Twitter, not the actual hate group that kicked this whole thing off.
Race grifters do not recognize actual racism. |

Been called a terrorist for being brown and a communist for what he preached. I mean,
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." That's some hippy ****. |

Members of the Resistance are openly doxxing the Covington kids, and offering free stuff to assault them.

Pretty clear that The Resistance's entire story is a blatant lie:
And because the MSM bought the grift hook line and sinker, the kids are getting death threats Big win for the actual hate group that started it all, tho. |

Then how can you say he's as bad as anybody else? You don't half talk some rot. First you claim each group is as bad as the next, then you admit you haven't a clue what their intentions were.
Suddenly, the man who's unable to assign motive to a guy he actually sees performing on video is an expert on the motives of tens of millions of hat-wearing people across the 52 states. When you're in a hole... You equate the racism of a bunch of school kids reacting to provocation by doing a stupid dance to a group of adults shouting words like 'coon', 'cracker' and '******', deriding homosexuals as deviant sodomites and encouraging violence, then you have the globes to tell me that I'm biased? Well I don't agree with calling people racist names and I also don't agree with gassing Jews, but at least I'm honest enough to distinguish between their severity. |

Democrat John Yarmuth swallows the grift, wants to gut the First Amendment and prohibit people from wearing MAGA hats.
Typical totalitarianism and contempt for free speech from the idiot left. |

It's very divisive right now. That said, I suspect that.. certain.. people refuse to condemn the teens for their actions, and only point out how the leftists are doing all the damage. That said, if people want to wear MAGA hats, let them. It lets me know who the idiots are. |

This thread has been an interesting read. It exemplifies the extreme partisanship that this country is experiencing.
As an ex-teacher who has take many, many field trips with my students, I have to wonder about the school chaperones and their failure to control and direct their charges. The Black Israelites were despicable but the chaperones should have moved the students away from them and instructed them not to interact with or react to them. As the adults, they should have recognized a potentially explosive situation and avoided it. Teen boys are going to be teen boys: get a bunch of them together and they're going to feed off each other's stupidity and immaturity as the video shows they did. If the chaperones had done their job responsibly, none of what ensued would have occurred. |

It is not clear at all that it is a "lie." I mean we do have video of Smarmy Smarmism staring down a man that is just trying to perform a song. You do accept that is real, right? Oh my goodness. That is clearly a parody of Trump's call to stop immigration for Muslims. |

“Just trying to play a song.” Total lie. He also claimed he was surrounded and could not retreat. Liar.
The claim that the tweet from the frantic anti free speech democrat is parody is likelwise a total lie. Although the suggestion that he is using a news report quoting the Native American as saying it was scary and racism, and accusing kids from his state of racism is just the sort of sick ******* twist a scumbag Congress critter like this democrat would think is funny. |

I can't get the audio on the tweet in the OP and really have no interest in looking at the longer version (at least right now). Watching that brief snippet without audio was interesting. My impression is that kid was nervous. The fixed grin looked like bravado to me, not contempt. I was kind of triggered by the body language all around. Not in a pro-Trump or anti-Trump way - more like general dismay at the high level of emotionalism I picked up on. IMO we need a way to pull back from the brink.

And the school appears to have responded...
"Kentucky Catholic high school is considering expelling students who were captured in viral videos taunting a Native American veteran on Friday. In the videos, a large group of teenage boys – including several wearing Covington Catholic High School sweatshirts – are seen chanting and surrounding a small group of Native Americans, who were attending the Indigenous Peoples March in Washington, D.C. One of the boys, wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, smirks and stands close to an elderly Native American man, who was later identified as Vietnam veteran Nathan Phillips." No investigation necessary, its obvious what they did. Expel all of them now! The Catholic Church, and every donor should be reviewing or removing their funding from this school if they don't permanently expel all of the boys involved. This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable - punishment needs to be swift and without mercy. |

If you watch the rest of the video I'd submit that the restraint and good behaviour by the kids in the face of that constant barrage of aggressive, racist, homophobic abuse from the black preachers, or whatever they are, should be roundly commended. Certainly if someone spoke like that to me I'd do more than shrug or move away, I'd flatten them.
