 Again, good for you.  Does that mean the blacks harassing children on the video, are not responsible for their actions?
 
 GS, I went to Chicago last month for work.  I didn't get shot, I didn't see anyone else get shot., and I didn't shoot anyone.  Using your logic, does that mean Chicago doesn't have a problem with gun violence?  That people who say it does, are wrong?  See how stupid that sounds?

 |  Glad to hear you got that white, it's certainly not cloudy in your mind.
 
I can find almost any interpretation someone would like of what happened there and each claims to be true, pick your flavor, I see you chose vanilla, I'll go for Neapolitan.
 
Just in case that's too deep for you, Neapolitan is vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, since as usual there some truth to all sides in a story. |

 |  if it’s not clear to you what happened, that necessarily means that outcome is more important to you, than facts.  you are willing to ignore what actually happened, to get the result you want ( smear the conservatives).  even if we are talking about kids.  
 
have fun with that condition, jesus.  
 
the black maniacs were disgusting.  the kids did nothing to them, their crime, as the video makes obvious, was being white and wearing maga hats.  
 
the native american ( by virtue of claiming the kids were the aggressors) is either an idiot or a liar, i have no way of 
knowing.  but it’s one of those binary choices, there isn’t a third choice.  
 
the kid at the center of this, who stood motionless while a weirdo chanted three inches from his face, was accused of blocking the path of the native american.  we know that’s not what happened.  he was standing there, the native american camemup to him.  and got right in his face.
 
and this kid who did absolutely nothing wrong, is painted all over the world as a racist bully, has received death threats, and his school is closed because it’s not safe.  
 
because of liberal 
tolerance.  
 
ironic that it happened on MLK weekend, when we celebrate a man who asked us to ignore skin color.  is that what liberals are doing today?  or do they see EVERYTHING through the prism of race?  
 
have fun responding to that.

The town used that data to throw out the idea of building rest rooms on the beach, based on numbers and local.  They threw up some portable potties instead, but we have a pretty good idea of the usage, she's been here 35 years and I'm in it for over ten, but I suspect that because you can go on a website and get the % of white in the surrounding communities you know the answer to why all the confrontations are with white males or their loud mouth girl friends; you don't know jack sh*t about this dynamic. |

240) White teenagers, some number of whom did a Haka in response to the black guys, well a bad imitation (perhaps you don't know what a War Haka is or the traditional meanings behind them, I assume it was some variation of a peruperu, I won't get into the cultural appropriation BS)

The Black Israelite group of maybe 4 or 5 were hurling insults at everyone, they were just trying to provoke people to pay attention to them. The kids started coming up, a group of 240 or formed and started yelling back,  then frenetically jumping all over, it was then the elder stepped in as by his stated reasoning he thought a mob mentality may break out and there could be violence. I've seen groups turn violent like this, you don't see it coming and suddenly you're in it. 
 
The elder just walked towards the crowd with some others drumming behind him. The kid who was laughing before takes a position to stare him down with a smirk on his face. You wouldn't do this unless you're trying to make a power play. The MAGA hat is significant, if this kid is a Trump fan he obviously doesn't mind Trump's disrespect toward Native Americans. Actually the kids decked out head to Trump gear all look like they're trying to provoke.
 
This isn't end of times stuff, but the initial response to the video wasn't that far off. That the kid's parents hired a PR FIRM to write his response is pretty telling. What a missed teaching moment.
 
And again, where were the adults? If they had been doing their job they would have moved the kids away for their own safety. |

 |  the White House has reached out to host the students. Sandmann said, "The President wants to send a plane down to get us."
 
Trump is using the incident because of sagging approval ratings: “By focusing on an issue that motivates his base instead of on the shutdown, for which he’s broadly taking the blame, there is little political downside for the president.”

Robby Soave of Reason notes:
 
"They call them crackers, faggots, and pedophiles. At the 1:20 mark (which comes after the Phillips incident) they call one of the few black students the n-word and tell him that his friends are going to murder him and steal his organs. At the 1:25 mark, they complain that “you give faggots rights,” which prompted booing from the students. Throughout the video they threaten the kids with violence, and attempt to goad them into attacking first.
 
Other choice insults that were lobbed at the Covington students — and anyone who had the misfortune of passing by — included “a bunch of incest babies,” “dirty ass little crackers” and “coon.”
 
And when Screaming Chief Banging Drum-in-Face is a habitual offender 
 https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/n...l-shrine-91038 
it becomes obvious who the "adult" crazy leftist activists acting like children are.... and.... who the children are...... 
 
nice to see the left targeting children now....  |

 The Black Israelite group of maybe 4 or 5 were hurling insults at everyone, they were just trying to provoke people to pay attention to them. The kids started coming up, a group of 240 or formed and started yelling back,  then frenetically jumping all over, it was then the elder stepped in as by his stated reasoning he thought a mob mentality may break out and there could be violence. I've seen groups turn violent like this, you don't see it coming and suddenly you're in it.
 
 The elder just walked towards the crowd with some others drumming behind him. The kid who was laughing before takes a position to stare him down with a smirk on his face. You wouldn't do this unless you're trying to make a power play. The MAGA hat is significant, if this kid is a Trump fan he obviously doesn't mind Trump's disrespect toward Native Americans. Actually the kids decked out head to Trump gear all look like they're trying to provoke.
 
 This isn't end of times stuff, but the initial response to the video wasn't that far off. That the kid's parents hired a PR FIRM to write his response is pretty telling. What a missed teaching moment.
 
 And again, where were the adults? If they had been doing their job they would have moved the kids away for their own safety.
 |  i can’t imagine what tape you saw, that showed the kids “coming up” to anyone in that fashion.  have you been painting inside with the windows shut?  you need to open the windows a crack.  
 
i’d also like to know where the chaperones were.  but the kids did nothing wrong.  the black israelites did, as did the native american.  
 
these are children spence, and they are receiving death threats.  kudos to you and your ilk.

 Keep a open mind, people’s memories are driven by their experiences
 If you put these people in a room, they would very likely find common ground
 That is what made America great, not politicians, the media or people ranting on the internet.

 |  i don’t disagree with any of that.  but you left out the biggest thing, which was the glee with which the media threw these kids to the wolves.  what if that was your 
son?  he’s someone’s son.

				 | soence, please showme a video clip where the smiling kid “took a position” in front of this guy.  because what i saw was this kid stationary, not
 moving, and the elder got right in his face.
 
 you’re not rational, you can’t be reasoned with.
