Oh, man, now I’m convinced, lol. Much better evidence than actual videos of the even...Seriously, Thirty, you are better than this...

A first hand account from one of the demonstrators (I didn't link the tweet).

Take from it what you will.

But as the previous post of mine stated... you believe what you want to believe. The kids seem legit respectful.

I think there are going to be a lot of people eating their words over all of the bashing of these teenagers, regardless of the caps they were wearing. People are always drooling at the mouth to rip people apart that they jump to conclusions without waiting for all of the evidence.  Just my two cents.

I don’t think anybody will be eating their words.

Nick (the douche) played the part of smug little prick. And now he’s being a weasel and scurrying from his actions.

Nobody around here wants to rip them apart. Most just want to call a spade a spade: those little pricks are little pricks. They made their statement... now stand behind the conviction of your actions.

I just honestly don’t get the hysteria over this.  Did anyone get run over by a car, did any dumpsters get burned?  People are upset at how this kid “looked at” the Native American that approached him?  That makes him a “douche” and “prick” worthy of death threats or what?  Bullshit that no one wants to rip them appart, that is happening all over here, lol

You're doing a fantastic job of sugar coating this event. Why don't you just say 'he's a really nice boy and you just want to take him home and cook him a rib-eye?'

The smug little pencil-necked geek sought to mock and intimidate an elderly native man. There is no question about this. The fact that he did so with a shiny red MAGA hat leaves nothing to dispute- his intentions (along with all the other shitheads) were very clear. He got his day to bask in the spotlight. Now he can deal with it. Actions have consequences and he's old enough to know this.

I feel that my “sugar coated” view of this is much closer to reality than the “they sought to mock and intimidate” point of view.  But you are welcome to stay in la la land if you feel that is best for your ego or “toxic masculinity” as they call it these days, lol

Lol

Okay. I'll believe that the MAGA wearing youths who laughed, chanted, and mocked traditional dance and drums were being pricks. You believe that the well-dressed youths were really joining in and- in a way- supporting the demonstration and are misunderstood.

What was that about la la land?

This is one of those "stories" that's just a distraction. Who gives a shit either way? Way more important things to be concerned about. That said, I totally expect Tucker Carlson to lead with this tonight...

Yes, way more important things...like “what’s for lunch”!

I just found this article on CNN.  
https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/20/us/covington-kentucky-student-statement/index.html
I am the student in the video who was confronted by the Native American protestor. I arrived at the Lincoln Memorial at 4:30 p.m. I was told to be there by 5:30 p.m., when our busses were due to leave Washington for the trip back to Kentucky. We had been attending the March for Life rally, and then had split up into small groups to do sightseeing. 

When we arrived, we noticed four African American protestors who were also on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I am not sure what they were protesting, and I did not interact with them. I did hear them direct derogatory insults at our school group. 

The protestors said hateful things. They called us "racists," "bigots," "white crackers," "faggots," and "incest kids." They also taunted an African American student from my school by telling him that we would "harvest his organs." I have no idea what that insult means, but it was startling to hear. 

Because we were being loudly attacked and taunted in public, a student in our group asked one of our teacher chaperones for permission to begin our school spirit chants to counter the hateful things that were being shouted at our group. The chants are commonly used at sporting events. They are all positive in nature and sound like what you would hear at any high school. Our chaperone gave us permission to use our school chants. We would not have done that without obtaining permission from the adults in charge of our group. 

At no time did I hear any student chant anything other than the school spirit chants. I did not witness or hear any students chant "build that wall" or anything hateful or racist at any time. Assertions to the contrary are simply false. Our chants were loud because we wanted to drown out the hateful comments that were being shouted at us by the protestors. 

After a few minutes of chanting, the Native American protestors, who I hadn't previously noticed, approached our group. The Native American protestors had drums and were accompanied by at least one person with a camera. 

The protestor everyone has seen in the video began playing his drum as he waded into the crowd, which parted for him. I did not see anyone try to block his path. He locked eyes with me and approached me, coming within inches of my face. He played his drum the entire time he was in my face. 

I never interacted with this protestor. I did not speak to him. I did not make any hand gestures or other aggressive moves. To be honest, I was startled and confused as to why he had approached me. We had already been yelled at by another group of protestors, and when the second group approached I was worried that a situation was getting out of control where adults were attempting to provoke teenagers. 

I believed that by remaining motionless and calm, I was helping to diffuse the situation. I realized everyone had cameras and that perhaps a group of adults was trying to provoke a group of teenagers into a larger conflict. I said a silent prayer that the situation would not get out of hand. 

During the period of the drumming, a member of the protestor's entourage began yelling at a fellow student that we "stole our land" and that we should "go back to Europe." I heard one of my fellow students begin to respond. I motioned to my classmate and tried to get him to stop engaging with the protestor, as I was still in the mindset that we needed to calm down tensions. 

I never felt like I was blocking the Native American protestor. He did not make any attempt to go around me. It was clear to me that he had singled me out for a confrontation, although I am not sure why. 

The engagement ended when one of our teachers told me the busses had arrived and it was time to go. I obeyed my teacher and simply walked to the busses. At that moment, I thought I had diffused the situation by remaining calm, and I was thankful nothing physical had occurred.

I've seen those black israelites in DC. 
Free speech by black people is SCARY and so intimidating.

Please.

WTF are you talking about?  Only about 2% of your posts are actually comprendable.  You know that, right?
