This whole situation has shown me how childish people are, and I’m not talking about the people involved. Name calling and mud slinging makes you no better than the people you are ranting on about. A person loses credibility when they resort to name calling.

I say this as someone who seriously dislikes our president and clenches my jaw when MAGA followers spew their venom. But I also very uncomfortable when people who call themselves liberal (and I am liberal) think that it’s their way or the highway. If you truly believe in having freedom of speech opposing views have their rights too. Instead of name calling, SHOW them why love is the better way.

The kids were the only responsible people in the entire fiasco.

You must be new to the District. There are multiple protests/marches/rallies EVERY weekend day.

But the march for life is a very large event...in the 100,000s. They should not overlap marches for the large events like the march for life, million man march, womens march, 3tc.

Watch the entire video that is all I am asking but you won’t because you will never change your mind. I too thought the boys were complete jerks when I saw the original post and then yesterday, saw the real story. If this kid was your child you would feel differently but oh that’s right you are small minded will see only one side. And nope not married to a Brett. In fact, grew up in a blue collar household and worked my ass off every step of the way. Again you placed me and everyone else who thinks differently than you, in the ”privledged” catagory. Sad. Very sad

I did watch the video, including the one of the woman who was right there saying “you guys are acting like a mob.” So, I just think you’re wrong.

For starters, you don’t engage with the black Israelites. They’re annoying and crazy and you just walk away. But fine, these aren’t city kids, they think it’s funny, and they engaged. When an adult came along to diffuse things - what their chaperone should’ve done, quite frankly - the kid “stood his ground.” He and his friends were doing that Indian chop or whatever white peoples do when they think of Indians (you can see him in the back at first doing it). Now he’s casting it as, “This Indian was trying to get in my space and I had every right to just stand there like the innocent little white boy I am.”

If you have actually watched the videos and think their behavior was ok, that’s on you.

I wouldn’t call them “responsible” - at all LOL - but I do place all of the blame on the chaperones. DC is full of nutters (BHI) - they should have avoided them or shut down the interaction immediately.

Asking one more time. What did the teenagers say to the black men that qualifies as engaging them?

Sandmann later said in a statement that the students chanted school cheers as an attempt to drown out the abuse. In the longer video, it sounds like an impromptu pep rally, not a Trump event.

Phillips walked straight into their circle, past a clear pathway up the steps, and banged his drum near their faces. In context, the boys seem more confused than threatening — there are shouts of “Does anyone know what’s going on?” as they continue cheering and jumping. Sandmann repeatedly bites his lip and looks down, as people do when they’re uncomfortable and unsure of what to do.

After the longer video emerged, Phillips told a very different story to the Detroit Free Press; he had, he said, sought to defuse the confrontation between the teens and the Black Hebrew Israelites. He didn’t explain why he thought banging a drum in someone’s face would have a calming effect.”

Blah blah blah.

The fact still remains: the kids were a-holes. The chaperones did nothing.

Yep and there are other videos from that same day of them harassing women in different places.

Those boys are not from Covington Catholic, so more falsehoods and slander

MFL has been held every year since 1974. This year was the first for the IPM.

As a result of this incident, these kids have been getting death threats.
Don't you think the reaction to this incident is overblown? Don't you believe that this whole controversy around a kid smiling at a Native American is out of proportion?
We've had protesters physically attack others and the reaction has been... Meh. Yet, this incident has adults calling for cruel acts being done to these kids.
Do you not find that at all repulsive?

More pointless outrage at nothing.

He was clearly standing in the Native American man's personal space. Would you want a stranger deliberately standing that close to you? If my kid did this, I would consider it intolerance and harassment. There would be consequences. It's odd how acceptable lack of civility has become in our country.

The rush to judgment was unfair, right?

They booed them when the black men said something about "fa**ots" then one Covington kid said something like he was proud of his gay friends (it is muffled so I base this on the black Israelites restating what the kid said, then yelling more gay slurs)

They also said something back when the black men started to scream at a black Covington kid (very young in appearance, looked about 13 or 14) repeatedly calling the kid the N word, among racist slurs towards one specific kid.

This is what most of their interactions consisted of, but mostly they did not engage.

When Whoopie Goldberg asked why everyone was so quick to trash the boys instead of waiting for the full video, Behar replied... “Because we’re desperate to get Trump out of office."

That's what this is all about. At least she is honest.

Whoopie is interesting. Anyone remember this - or are you all too "young?"

DANSON'S RACIST 'HUMOR' APPALLS CROWD AT ROAST - https://www.rogerebert.com/rogers-journal/dansons-racist-humor-appalls-crowd-at-roast

NEW YORK It's a tradition of the celebrity roasts at the Friar's Club that everything goes - that no joke is in such bad taste that it cannot be told. Friday, that tradition may have ended, as a roast for Whoopi Goldberg turned into such a tasteless display that some audience members hid their faces in their hands, and others left.

They cringed in disbelief during the opening monologue by actor Ted Danson, Whoopi's lover, who appeared in blackface and used the word [N]more than a dozen times during a series of jokes that drew smaller and smaller laughs, until finally the audience was groaning and Danson faltered as he tried to plow through his written material.

Death threats are horrible. (Have they been documented to be true?)

I think the PP on here who called the college was overreacting.

But it’s still true that the kids were sh1ts and the chaperones were horrible. Why do the MAGA Ts continue to deny this and personally attack others to distract? They could say, “yeah not a good moment”, and then we’d all move on. But the vigorous defense of these kids and attack of others is disgusting and pushes us to 110+ pages.
