“The natives” |
The video shows the native man with the drum getting in the kid’s face. You can watch the video, the link is posted. |
True. Ask Brett Kavanaugh. |
Read the interviewees - he was walking through and was blocked. |
Native Americans? Yes? What should they be called? I thought Indian was incorrect now. |
Not true. He approached the boys and they are standing in a group on steps. Nobody blocked him. All you have to do is watch the video yourself. |

You can watch here and post the video of the boys surrounding him and mocking him because this video doesn’t show that. |

Phillips gets right into the young man’s personal space. It appears Phillips is trying to intimidate him, to get him to move or flinch, or push back. At one point Phillips drum appears to touch the young man’s shoulder. Phillips beats the drum literally in the young man’s face. The drum stick is flashing by, only inches from his nose. At the same time, Phillips is chanting/screaming directly into the young man’s face. It appears to be an attempt at provocation by Phillips.
The young MAGA hat wearer refuses to be intimidated or provoked into a reaction that can be used against him. |
So, what I saw was the drummer walking through the crowd, and the one boy purposefully blocking his path. At first the rest of the crowd seems to be chanting along, not really in a harassing way, but the energy gets more dark as the standoff continues. Some of the boys seem confused, others seem like they are part of the gang. |
There is plenty of room for the kid to back up. Don't see that happen at all. |

There are a bunch of videos posted. One can interpolate what happened by visually editing them together, but the facts as reported generally are accurate, IMO. The "fault" here is accurate, and the parents of these kids ought to be (but I am sure aren't) ashamed.
If these were my kids, you bet they would be hearing it from me and my spouse. |
Really, so other native protesters were walking up into the crowd of boys and the 15 year old moved to block the man with the drum? I didn’t see any natives walking past the boys. The MAGA boy didn’t move at all. If the native man tried to get by him and the boy moved and blocked him it wasn’t on the clip. |
Also the native man could have given the boy personal space. He moved toward the boy, not the other way around. By saying the boy could have backed up you confirm the native man approached the boy. I saw no boys surrounding the any native man or woman. |
Then post one here of the boys surrounding the man, or chanting build the wall. |
Yeah, the poor pack of MAGA boys were probably suffering from bone spurs - the elderly Vietnam veteran Native man could have been more sympathetic to their plight. |
