I am NOT a Covington mom. I am as anti MAGA and anti Trump as they come.

But this situation was not reported correctly.

So the video of the boy smirking, the kids surrounding the old man and mocking his chants were not reported correctly?

I mean, I read none of the media stories, so I am very confused.

An excerpted video was presented showing only that moment of the story, without the context that told a completely different story. The news reports also did not make clear what had happened.

The original Washington Post article I read said:

In an interview Saturday, Phillips, 64, said he felt threatened by the teens and that they swarmed around him as he and other activists were wrapping up the march and preparing to leave.

Phillips, who was singing the American Indian Movement song that serves as a ceremony to send the spirits home, said he noticed tensions beginning to escalate when the teens and other apparent participants from the nearby March for Life rally began taunting the dispersing indigenous crowd.

I had sympathy for Mr. Phillips after reading this. Teens "swarmed around him" as he was preparing to leave the march. Teens were disparaging the other native americans.

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL.

He walked RIGHT INTO the boys. The boys were in an argument with some men who were taunting THEM and had been for some time.

Who taunted whom first? I read where the Catholic boys branched off from the group and taunted the BHI (technically now a hate group as I posted earlier). Did BHI taunt them first?

Either way, they were getting into it, and Phillips intervened, favoring - you can read his statements - the "prey."

"These young men were beastly and these old black individuals was their prey, and I stood in between them and so they needed their pounds of flesh and they were looking at me for that."

We will never know . . .

I don't need CNN to summarize what happened for me to make up my mind.

They were a bunch of disrespectful kids.

Did you watch the video? Those black hebrews were calling them "children of incest" and "white crackers who can't stay in the sun for 5 minutes" and "school shooters." Disgusting behavior by the adults. The kids did nothing wrong. The Native American marched right into their space and THEY had nowhere to go.

Honest question, MAGAts.

If you and your kid were arguing, and he came to you with this face, would you think he was trying to diffuse the situation?

Sandmann had the choice to turn his back and walk away but he still chose to stand there in the face of a Vietnam veteran! Maybe I grew up in a different place where we moved out of the way when our elders walked by...as a show of respect.

Yes, I said above that those people were idiots too. What does that have to do with disrespecting an old man?

This wasn't really media-driven story. It was completely driven by social media. When the media finally got involved, it was with interviews of Nathan Phillips. His story was worth reporting given his prominence in the incident. There could be a good case made that this event demonstrates the danger of social media mobs, but I don't think you have much of an argument for blaming the media.

This was viral in the first instance, but the initial reporting of second-rated reporters like Antonio Olivo and Clive Woodson of the Washington Post very much helped reinforce the narrative that was being spread on social media. In any event, the distinction between social media and media continues to erode, as the speed at which information (and misinformation) can be spread pushes mainstream publications to dispense with any detailed fact-checking or interviewing of witnesses so they can also put out their stories quickly. That’s why some only went to Phillips: he was easy to locate and more than willing to portray himself as a victim rather than as a publicity-seeker.

I despise Trump, McConnell, and their politics, but to see a bunch of adults turn on children with such profound hatred is deeply disappointing.

Republicans love to scream and shout about support the troops, support veterans but I now understand they mean "white troops" and "white veterans." It doesn't apply to brown and black ones.

You are a joke. There is nothing to exonerate that boy staring down an elderly man. He chose to do it, his friends and the adults there chose to watch it and encourage it, and you can tell your boner from reading about potential lawsuits over this to stand down: this boy and his parents have no hope of even a nuisance settlement. He thought he could act grown, but he chose poorly.

Well, I believe you are wrong. If you are standing somewhere waiting for a bus, an an elderly man walks up to you and stares you in the face, playing the drums loudly, you don't have to walk away. The man who approached you is the one being impolite at the least, aggressive at the worst.

This is one kid's response to aggressive behavior of adults toward them. He simply stood still and kept calm. He said nothing. I don't see the big deal. At first I was outraged when I saw the first video, but now knowing the full scope of what happened, these kids did nothing to taunt them as they claimed.

It may have been the Black Israelites May have been the kids but Elder Philips took a stand to reduce a conflagration . That is actually not up for a debate even in that statement despite the weasel words

It actually does have something to do with it, because people are interpreting the boys chanting and shouting as being towards the Native AMerican man (MR Phillips) when it seems they were yelling and chanting to and because of the the Black Hebrews. So if you think the boys are being disrespectful to Mr Phillips because you are hearing chants and shouts towards someone else, yes, it does make a difference.

Yeah, but he DIDN'T take a stand designed to reduce tension. Walking up to someone and staring them in the face, while playing the drums loudly, is not a conflict resolution strategy.
