I mean nobody here brought up Trump, that’s on you. The rest of us are just having a civil conversation. You decided to get salty about politics.

Meanwhile, the African-American group are apparently the Black Hebrew Israelites, a nutty fringe sect who, I have read, show up at every major DC event and insult everybody, like a black pseudo-Jewish version of the Westboro Baptist Church. People who attend a lot of marches and protests know to ignore them, but the Covington kids likely did not.

Unless I’m confusing them, I’ve watched a couple of their YouTube videos. Whereas what they say is at time unintentionally comical, and they obviously set out to offend as many people as possible and cross as many lines as possible, I don’t think they are actually dangerous. More a mix of deranged and absurd.

But I can imagine that young and inexperienced boys could have misinterpreted the situation, or indeed Philpps could have.
 
BTW, this is the fifth thread on this topic. The active thread is at:

Their parents must be so proud?: Controversy about Kentucky pro-life marchers DC Catholic News
And in the last 75 posts or so the tone of it has definitely switched to the intentions of this thread.
 
I have to be honest and admit my own bias and say that, my disgust at the boys was merely because of their MAGA hats (and the media spin) at first.

After looking over more video footage myself, I actually favor the high schoolers! They seemed mostly calm and confused.

When one of the Black Israelites yelled “FA**OTS!” and ranted about homosexuality, one of the boys replied: “They’re still humans!” That’s not a reply you’d expect if you followed the media narrative of who these students “really” are.

Will the media give the whole story? Will we see more video of the real instigators? No idea.

Having said all this, the MAGA hats were a poor choice for the context.

Covington Catholic and how social justice is the death of real justice - Washington Examiner

It had all the makings of the perfect 21st century crime. A seemingly incriminating social media video. That red hat. A victim from perhaps the single most oppressed class in American history, a Native American. A villain from its most privileged, a white male. And most damning, that...

They were waiting for a bus … for two hours?

I’d take it to mean that they were waiting for the bus that had been chartered to take them to the March. And yeah… like @(name removed by moderator) mentioned, it can take ages for your bus to get to the pre-defined pick-up spot (especially if they pick a spot right in the middle of things).

That would also explain why they didn’t “just walk away.” They had been instructed to wait at that spot for their bus, and they were waiting for it to show up.
 
Where were the chaperones?

No matter who was doing what in terms of the students, there should have been adults present and ready to take action if needed to either keep the students safe or keep them under control. They certainly don’t appear in the videos.

If you put all the stories together, you can see how the whole thing happened even if we credit both Phillips and the main kid with sincerely peaceful intentions. But it’s important we not just cling to the version we like best and jump wholeheartedly behind “our side,” whichever side that is.

The perfect storm. Here’s hoping lessons will be learned.
 
And Mr. Phillips is a known leftwing activist. His claim was that he was protecting the prey (the Black Israelite Group) from the beasts (the kids). Can’t get any sillier than this. It’s almost as if grown men can’t argue with adults, so they have to resort to harassing teenagers.
 
The students are apparently going to respond legally to the defamation. Whatever one thinks about both sides, I think it’s clear from the greater video showing the entire scene that the students may have a case. Including against their own administration. Be interesting to see how this shakes out.

And just as appalling, woman who did a caricature of the president or his son as dead [I can’t remember which] has called for the doxting of the boy that is in this news story. Doxting [mining information about someone, and publishing that information for the use of harassment ] is illegal.
 
Kathy Griffin is a comedian who called for their names and held a decapitated head of Trump. In my opinion, she’s completely unhinged and something’s definitely not right with her.
 
Exactly. And people will immediately find fault with the kids in any way, shape or form (claiming it was a racist mob) and find little to no fault with the Native American man and the Hebrew Israelite men.
 
Apparently, according to the statement released by Nicholas Sandmann (the boy who was in front of the Native Vet and smiling), they obtained permission from their chaperone to sing their school chants in order to counteract the other group who were yelling at them.
