The boys simply joined in on the chant. I doubt their intentions were negative
 
Really? Is respect for elders so dead that people should know that it is not longer a part of American culture?
Respect isn’t one way. The whole point of the march is RESPECT LIFE, whether in the womb or born. Mr. Phillips was extremely disrespectful to the student Nick. Do grown ups really think it is respectful to bang a drum in some poor kid’s face and blame him for everything whitey has done over the past 500 years?

I’m amazed at the meanness and nastiness of some of the people who come to these pro-life marches to simply cause trouble for those peacefully demonstrating right to life. Especially vulnerable children.
 
And the rest?
The rest did nothing wrong either. They were told to wait there for their bus. There were adults horribly insulting them with words I would never want to repeat and adults beating a drum in their face, without even telling them why or what they were doing. The Native Americans marched slowly up to these young people beating a drum and not saying why and got right in their face. We are talking about youth here. Young people who in all reality probably never had anything like this happen to them before. This would be pretty scarey, especially after hearing all the hateful comments from the Black Israelites.

These young men are being forced to suffer the consequences brought on by inconsiderate adults, not acting like adults. I am all for respecting your elders but elders have to act respectful.

Honestly, I have to say, if someone came up to me, didn’t say a word and started beating a drum in my face, I would be pretty confused and scared also.

It seemed disrespectful.
That is it. “It seemed” but you can not read their hearts.

But it is not even. What is the balance respect between the respect that a child owes an adult and an adult owes a child?

Sad that such a poor example was given.

Who are you talking about? Do you think that Mr Phillips was there to disrupt those peacefully demonstrating for the right top life? If so, do you have any evidence for this?

Slight correction: that’s from the PR firm the kid’s parents hired.
Sure John.

Which PR firm was that?

How do you know this?
 


This leftist outrage has been more fake news.

.

See a stark example this going on here (the msm are now blaming the Covington kids (at least one of whom is black and was victimized being called the “n-word” by the leftists) . . . for BEING CALLED the n-word!!! (Because when classmate pointed out the victimization with their hand signals, it somehow morphed into THEIR fault).

And THIS is the kind of “logic” you see from the “trustworthy” media who will not be banned from Twitter or Facebook following this fake news lollapalooza.

That is not what I saw in the video that we both watched.

An analysis of the events requires interpretation; there is no shortage of it from all sides. As I stated at the outset, after watching the whole video, I think that the analysis of Josh Marshall hits the nail on the head.

Covington Catholic video: RunSwitch PR helped Nick Sandmann
What did the PR firm do for Nick Sandman?
 
Fair enough John24.
RunSwitch partners Steve Bryant and Gary Gerdemann said that Sandmann family asked people they knew over the weekend about getting help with handling the media.
They asked people “over the weekend” for help.

His statement said he was NOT going to do follow-up interviews, etc.

NOW he is going to (making it sound to me anyway, that the pr (name removed by moderator)ut is coming AFTER he wrote his letter). If I were involved in the degree of media, I too would retain a pr firm.

They reported his statement Monday morning in the news (11:24 AM or close on LifeSite if I recall correctly)…

And perhaps the family got ahold of the pr peo. on the weekend or early Monday morning, got through the phone tree, arrives at the PR firm or Skyped, etc. and put out the kids statement.

Maybe. But that would not make his statement dishonest because he needed help regarding the avalanche of media barrage he was being subjected to.

Thanks for the link.

Let’s assume the best in the kid. Especially with all the evidence in his favor.

Well, I am sorry but I disagree with you and I would never agree with Josh Marshall on much of anything. Looking at what this very liberal man says about the situation, he seems to believe he can read young Mr. Sandman’s thoughts.

“I think he decided to stand his ground, get in the guy’s face, and smile a kind of satisfied smile…”

Unless you know for sure what that student was thinking and you were there it is wrong, very wrong to believe you know his thoughts and make accusations.

You know what, if I was in this situation, and had a lot of death threats, I would be asking for help also. Just becaus a PR firm helped doesn’t mean it isn’t what happened.

It continues to ponder in me, why we must make this young man out to be a villian. It is probably like Bishop Barron said in his article, It’s evil and people need a scapegoat.

And what I am seeing is, it doesn’t seem to matter to some people how badly they ruin him, his family, friends and the school and that is very sad. :cry:

Yes, absolutely.

This attack on this Catholic kid was Fake News.

And that is the paradigm today. Fake News to politically manipulate the public. Not to report news.

I disagree with your whole premise about how they should defer or a certain respect is owed to the elder. If he would have acted with honor and not created a stunt then yes he would deserve respect. But that isn’t the case. Elders don’t deserve deference all situations, especially when those elders are progressive activists trying to create a situation to grab attention.
