Any Trumpers going to denounce

I’d say the adult chaperones failed these kids substantially. I’d also say that a MAGA hat shouldn’t be a lightening rod for rage against racism.
During group protests, thinking clearly takes a back seat to emotion and team centered aggression. On all sides, this happened here. One side should’ve been aware of the act of throwing insults at a group of teenagers is despicable. And one side should’ve realized that MAGA hats and tomahawk chants were not ok either at this protest.
I don’t blame the teens. I blame the adult chaperones for not leading the teens away and not standing up for them.

So, just so I’m tracking here, the teens and their chaperones had the obligation to retreat and allow their individual liberty to be trampled because “minority”?
The Covington kids were there for another reason than the Indians. They had gone after their even to the Lincoln Memorial to sight-see. Another group started hurling insults at them. Philips then decided to insert himself into the picture by advancing on the Covington kids...he wasn't trying to get anywhere...his intention was to approach them. Now you tell me what those kids did wrong? Tell me why the MAGA hats are wrong - and don't make up some ******** that those hats are offensive..
The chaperones had the obligation of moving a school sponsored group away from aggressive groups at a protest. They were waiting for buses.
No, they absolutely don’t have an obligation to retreat from the public forum. That’s the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard.
I think they can be seen as offensive by some, but my op said it absolutely should not be seen as a lightening rod by anyone.
The chants were aggressive. Come on. Both groups were aggressive here, and it’s just not acceptable. Yelling offensive comments at a group of teenagers, for whatever reason, is despicable. Kids should have been led away by the chaperones immediately, imo.
Classic example of victim shaming. This is no different than saying the parents should not have allowed Sally to wear those yoga pants. She was just asking for it. Where were the kids supposed to go? They were told to meet there so that they could get on their bus and get back to KY. That is exactly what they did.
This is getting weird as the kids were there to support a pro life rally. The Native Americans were there to support their Native American culture. What was the other group there for? To attack any and every person that was not black. The 2nd video confirmed that the Native American's sided with the other group and went against white teenagers, even though the 3rd group was bashing them even before the kids got there. If the NA would have approached the 3rd group and protected the kids, they would have been hero's in my book. Instead they joined the other group and went after a bunch of white teenagers. THIS IS HOW MESSED UP TDS IS IMPACTING OUR COUNTRY.
Who was chanting aggressive chants...not the Covington kids. Who approached who and got in the face of who? This is all on the man with the drum, yet no one wants to acknowledge that.
It’s a school trip. They were not there to sightsee, they were not there for protest, they were waiting on buses. Told to be there by their chaperones at that time, and they shouldve been protected.
It’s absurd for you to think that chaperones for teenagers on a school sponsored trip should allow the group of students to escalate a dangerous confrontation with an aggressive group pushing confrontation.
In retrospect, it was a setup. The jew black dudes provoked, and the fake vet was the fall guy.
I find it very interesting that CNN has started to report on the other video, except that they will not acknowledge that the Phillips could be viewed as instigator. They skip over the fact that he went into the crowd completely and instead try to make him out as protector of peace. They did turn against the 3rd group who I am not sure what exactly they are. Are they Jewish?
The tomahawk chant was used to offend, maybe justified, but it was meant to offend.
The Covington kids were doing school cheers, that’s been confirmed. You know how rowdy those Catholic school cheers can be. /eye roll emoji
The irony here, the kids were standing up against the actual racists and bigots who were yelling anti-gay ****. Instead of acknowledging that aspect, the kids are attacked because they’re white and wore MAGA hats.
One thing is clear, Bru was abused in this thread.
Victim shaming again. But they chanted the FSU thing, must be racist, they deserve to be attacked. They started yelling school cheers to drown out all of the racist stuff that was being yelled at them. I find it realistic that making the FSU chant was just another chant to drown out being cussed out by grown adults.
I find it interesting that fault can’t be found on both groups here. Everyone has to support their team I guess
He lied about that and lied about what the students were saying. Moreover, he himself said some racist **** talking about “White People” running roughshod over his people’s land.
Defend him at your peril.
If anything the FSU chant that was done by the students (all 3 seconds of it) was wrong.
