This attitude is crazy to me. My dad, who has voted Republican in every election since the 70s, would have grounded me for a month for being part of a crowd like that. The taunting chants and the smirking would not have flown in my house. Provoked or not, my parents expected me to walk away from shit like that, and they expected me to show respect and deference to adults. I've watch the whole video, if I were in the crowd, I'd be ashamed to be in it.[/quote]

What attitude is crazy?  We must be watching different videos.  They were NOT taunting chants.  They were chanting their school fight song, after receiving permission to do so from their chaperones.  That chant was not even directed at Phillips.  It was in response to the ugly things that the Black Israelites' were yelling at them.  Did you hear what the Black Israelites were saying to them?  Did you see the portion of the video where Sandmann was actually motioning to another student behind him, to STOP when the other student was trying to engage with Phillips?  Showing respect?  Why does an "adult" who intentionally provokes a child, deserve respect?  [/quote]

It’s funny - for all the condemnation these posters have showered on Sandmann, they’ve yet to say *anything* negative about the obnoxious Phillips - much less the toxic Black Israelites.  Not one word of criticism thrown their way.  No, the focus of the outrage is the student who dared to stand his ground rather than be intimidated by Phillips, who had clearly targeted him.  These people are the worst of the worst.  [/quote]

Start a thread them. We can attack them, there's not much good to say about them.

This thread is about the boy and his lawsuit.  So we're talking about him and his lawsuit.[/quote]
