MAGA teen bused in from a Catholic school harasses Indigenous People's marcher. Vile.

Thanks for the reminder Jeff...I completely forgot about that.

Now it turns out that chaperones were, indeed, present. Instead of simply moving the group away from the small contingent of wacky protesters (African Israelites or Westboro Baptist - all the same, all crazy, and reasonable people know not to engage), they allowed school chants to escalate the situation. They allowed these boys to wear MAGA hats (inflammatory political symbols) out in public at a school-organized event. They saw a student engaged in a stare-down with an adult while other students cheered and laughed. They watched another student engage in a profanity-laden debate with a different adult. No matter what side someone might be on, how could any reasonable adult chaperone allow such chaos to build?

I saw this comment elsewhere and it rings true: The adult chaperones saw nothing wrong with the boys’ behavior. The MAGA hats, the stare-down, the jeering, the profanity, the escalating machismo. It was all OK because - to them - it was an acceptable response. All we need to do is look at MAGA-Boy’s smirk. He embodies this dangerous sentiment.

Haha. You are a tool.

Like it or not, Trump is the president of the country, and MAGA was his campaign slogan. If you think it's so incendiary, shut down the street vendors - many immigrants - who gladly sell this merchandise along with FBI t-shirts to tourists from all over the world.

The response of the Covington boys under the circumstances was restrained. I wish they'd rushed the Black Israelites and beat the shit out of them.

Because that's what Jesus would do and we all know they're good Catholic boys following the word of god.

If the situation had been reversed, a small group of four or five Catholics hurling insults at a large group of teenagers bussed in for the Women's March, that IS probably what would have happened.

Hmm, what is "bias"?

White male Catholic kid, says nothing, does nothing, but smirks during a confrontation; and the blogosphere goes wild justifying hurting the kid for being nonviolent.

White male adult Berkley professor smashes somebody in the head with a bike lock during a confrontation; and the blogosphere goes wild justifying the adult hurting people they are bigoted against.

The teens at the Women’s March were there because they wanted to be there. Not because they were promised extra credit at school.

It’s disgusting that a RELIGION is exploiting kids like this to push some political position.

Sorry, but for the most part, kids attend these events under their own will. My son attends a Catholic school in DC and a group of boys always attends the march, however, he has never done so. There is no pressure to do so, and less than a quarter of the students attend.

They were on a school trip to support denial of rights for women. It's not a big leap to think they'd harass a Native American elder.

That's, of course, the way you perceive it. They would say they are fighting for the rights of unborn babies.

During the Civil War, should the Northern, more industrialized non-slave holders have stayed in their lane and not fought for the rights of slaves because they couldn't possibly understand the needs of the Southern slave holders to own slaves?

At 00:25 and again at 00:32 you clearly see it.

Last night on TV I saw a whole stadium doing the tomahawk chop. Are the Kansas City fans racists?

As for the interaction with the Native American man, here’s some perspective. Imagine that this had been a group of black students wearing Black Lives Matter hats, and that they had stared down while appearing to partially surround an elderly white man. How would the narrative be different? How many would let the students off the hook or actually believe they were trying to “defuse the situation”? I know the answer, but feel free to try to lie.

I don't think an elderly white man would walk into a group of black students and make an effort to defuse a situation.

I also think the rush to judgment, as evidenced by the early posters on this thread, is embarrassing. I just don't understand hating somebody because of they are a Trump supporter. I hate Trump, but not the people that voted for him.

YOU and many others would be judging them if they were wearing "I'm with her hats" and in DC for the women's march and had gotten into the face of an old white Vietnam Vet wearing a MIA POW hat.

You don't get out much, do you?

If the left had their way, they would ban MAGA hats nationally.

I just used the kid's last name in a post. I figured that since he's actually paid somebody to promote his perspective and very much proactively put his own name out there in the process, it would be fine to use it here. Can you please explain the way the DCUM rule works and why this is not okay? I would agree that we shouldn't use someone's name if they don't want it out there, even if the name was revealed by the media or some third party. But this seems to be an entirely different situation. This family is touting him as some sort of Catholic hero kid. If I were to pay someone to nationally promote my kid's awesomeness as a Catholic young man, I wouldn't have a problem with DCUM people posting his name.

Because their respect for the view that human life begins at conception means that they'd harass a Native American?

Logic fail.

Pro-choice here and i too do not see the connection.

Oh come off it. Those kids aren't fighting for anything except to save their skin. I highly doubt most of them care about Roe v. Wade in any deep thelogical sense. If they did they would pledge to never put any woman or girl in a position where she might contemplate an abortion.

If you think any one of them is going to be willing to save himself until marriage so as to lessen the chance of an unwanted pregnancy that might end in abortion, you are deluding yourself.

Well why don't you ask some American Indians how they feel about an entire stadium of non-Indian sports fans doing a tomahawk chop. Don't you think they should be the ones to determine whether it is offensive?
