The chaperones who were with those boys were completely inept and not up to the job. I have been insituations like that downtown where people like the Hebrew Israelites were yelling at us and we disengaged and left. You don't stay and let the mob grow. I can't think of any of the parents I have known or teachers at my kids school who would have stayed there with the school and given the kids permitssion to chant their school songs. Chaperone was an absolute an utter idiot. Not good in a crisis either. Chaperone's instinct when things are heating up is to run towards the fire and fan the flames?

HEre's the extended video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3EC1_gcr34 at the 50:00 mark you can see the conflict between the two groups and then at 1:08 the MAGA kids are yelling back. 1:09 the kid takes off his shirt. Where the HELL were the chaperones at 1:11???? at 1:12 Nathan Phillips comes in and calms it down and takes the tension down. At 1:13 the Black Hebrews guys talk about how the native american drummer "calmed all these spirits right down". |
And then Nathan Phillips is quickly swallowed up because the kids surrounded him. |
|
I watched the whole video and I saw a huge group of kids surround a small group of fringe black Israelite nut jobs. I watched a small group of Indian Americans walk into the fray and put themselves between the boys and the nutcases, and I watched the tension diffuse.
The media spin was unfair, because they made it seem like these boys crashed and heckle a Native American march, when in actuality they were crashing and heckling the black Israelites. But these boys were obnoxious and not blameless. There was zero reason for them to surround the black Israelites, and did you see how they swarmed the American Indians? Those boys were acting aggressive and had a mob mentality. |
Some of the posters here were among them. This message, from 17:48 on 1.19.19: "I’m making it my personal mission and setting a calendar item, to find that young man every year for the rest of my life, and to send a message to his school, his employer, and his acquintenances, to let them know what an asshole he is. He never gets to bury this." And, this from 21:17: "THIS! Those kids need severe consequences. Expulsion, etc. They learned this $hit at home. I wrote to the director of admissions at the smirkers college of choice and asked him to reconsider the acceptance. Signed, White Lady" The Social Justice Mob is totally out of control. They were ready to be judge, jury, and executioner for a kid who wasn't even there. |

Why did Nathan Phillips walk up to the boys and not to the Black Hebrews, who were really the instigators?
Will anyone from the media ask him this? |

OK, all you SJWs out there.... THIS is what real harassment and attacks look like......

Watch the video. He walked in between the two groups, and there were only 5 Black Israelites and 70-100 teenagers. |
So, WHY didn't he walk up to the Black Israelites. They were being the aggressors here. Why to the kids? |
| When this story dies down, and these kids get back to their daily lives, what lessons will they have taken away from their trip to DC? That’s what concerns me. |
I'd say that depends on the adults in their lives. |
Their "daily lives" will not be normal for a very long time. The twitter mob has threatened many of them, threatened the school, called employers and colleges, and have threatened others not at all associated with this incident because of incorrect identification. ' One lesson they will likely take away is that the nation's capital is not a welcoming or safe area. When an overreaction like this can happen to a group of teens, their impression of the nation's capital and their memories of this visit will not be positive. |
Give me a break. The kid's mom has wished on Twitter that the pioneers had brought more blankets with smallpox. Think about that for a second. |
She’s worse than the kid. Trash MAGA. |
This really bothers me. And for the record, I am anti-MAGA and hugely anti-Trump. Mr. Phillips was quoted as saying:
When I watched the hour long video starting with the nasty things being said by the Black Hebrews, to Native Americans as well as to the white MAGA hat wearing boys, and leading up to Nathan Phillips insinuation of himself into the situation, I did not see feeble old black individuals standing as helpless prey. They were entirely inappropriate and to blame for starting this situation. They were out of control, shouting at everyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQyBHTTqb38&fbclid=IwAR0TCG1X8NpzzY46VFN9DSeav564G_MizHcM4dbaBQwtFupHfYaQCTWOQKY Nathan Phillips walked right up to the boys, stood and stared, and then moved in closer. Stared. Moved in closer. Stared. That's not the action of a "peacemaker". He wasn't trying to calm anything down. Then he said:
WATCH the video posted above at the 1:12 mark. The boy in the hat wasn't blocking Mr. Phillips way. Mr. Phillips walked up to him, then advanced, then advanced, and started staring him down. Mr. Phillips approached the boy and the group, and could have just as easily gone a different way. WATCH the video. |
