[quote=Anonymous]What if that had been your teen-aged son encountering these grown ass men behaving badly? Would you have expected your son to handle the situation better than this kid did - so that anyone filming the encounter would have said his behavior was perfect? He's a kid. Do you think your same-age son would have handled this situation like a politically-minded adult? Of course not. The American Indian got in his face. Those of you calling this kid "entitled," a "jerk," a "bully" are really inappropriate.

I don't have a son so I don't have skin in this game aside from being a fair-minded mom, who sees that this kid was unfairly singled out, by getting placed in a charged political situation by a lot of politically motivated grown ass adults. That includes the media, who sought to destroy this kid. How would you feel if the media turned your child into a target for a moment's pleasure? You'd be outraged. But you are not outraged on this kid's behalf, are you, because it doesn't fit your political  agenda.

You really do want to turn American men into wimps, don't you? This kid acted the way a well mannered but red blooded kid would have reacted. He did nothing wrong. Get over yourselves.[/quote]
