Social Tense Encounter Between Covington HS Kids and Nathan Phillips

[PainIsLIfe]

so if i walked up and put my nose 2 inches from your face grinning that isnt aggression? dont talk shit purely for the sake of being contrarian.

Yes, but if you walk up to the kid and get in his face and he simply stands there and awkwardly smile at you (all of that is what actually happened) then that isn't aggression on the kids part.

Yea you see all these white liberals who claim to be soooo outraged over the tomahawk chops done by a handful of the students (because at this point that's all they have left to hang their hats on) and yet they won't dare criticize the guys who were clearly the worst actors in the whole fiasco. Are they afraid of being called racist if they criticize those maniacs? Or is it maybe the bigotry of low expectations?

This radical form of double standard permeates pop culture. You see in the media, you see it in schools. It's like an institutional ideology.

Every day this place makes me look less and less crazy

Some Catholic school kids wearing MAGA hats attended a pro-life march in Washington. For some reason, they decided mock a guy from the Indigenous Peoples March. He reported that some of the students were shouting "Build the wall" at him, and one kid stood and smirked in his face.

The elderly veteran in the video is Nathan Phillips. He is a Vietnam veteran who holds an annual ceremony honoring Native American veterans at the Arlington National Cemetery. He is also the former director of the Native Youth Alliance. After the incident he said, "I wish they put their energy into making this country really great, helping those that are hungry.”

The Catholic school that these boys attend has released a statement saying that the disrespect and lack of dignity that the students showed is contrary to their teachings, and that they were considering punishments up to expulsion.

Update Edit:

I think the kids' behavior in this situation is disrespectful and inappropriate. I think there is a basic level of decency and respect you show towards elderly people, and the way these kids behave is lacking in character.

However, as this story hit the mainstream cycle it has become clear that the backlash has far outweighed the actions of the kids. I was expecting this conversation to remain on the topic of divisive political rhetoric and the harmful effect it has, specifically on impressionable young people. But people calling for these kids' names to be released publicly, or calling for them to be assaulted is insane to me. I want to make it clear that I condemn any comments that indicate these kids should be targeted on a personal level. The backlash has been much worse than anything shown in the video.

Is there any way I can hire that guy who keeps saying "that's right" to follow me around and help build my self-esteem?

You're also an idiot. There's that.

Let's be real. If Billyfish gets in the face of any male over the age of 12. He's getting knocked the fuck out

first of all- all of those kids were acting like a bunch of cunts in public...it is embarrassing. Was the old man being a twat? Sure, but 2 wrongs don't make a fucking right. They could have simply moved away and put their attention somewhere else. In other videos there is some fat ass teenager taking his shirt off and chanting crap.

I guess I must be crazy to suggest a 15 year old move out of the fucking way rather than get into some sort of gay stare-down situation.

The Covington Kids story has had more attempts at moving the goal posts from the perpetually-offended than anything I've ever seen in my life. lol

Now the issue is that some fat kid did the truffle shuffle? Has the doxing of this shirtless, corpulent boy commenced yet?

So Twitter has suspended this account @BetosBlog, a parody account spoofing these journals that Beto is writing as he drives around the country or whatever. I'm guessing they suspended it because it didn't explicitly say that it's a parody account? I mean it's clear as day that it's a parody, but hey rules are rules.

If this were say 48 hours ago I would just say meh. But since then we've seen verified users specifically call for targeted harassment against high school kids - with no suspensions. We've seen some people take down their tweets wishing death on these kids, but again no suspension. So how can we pretend that Twitter's TOS means anything at this point?

Is this video posted up?
Smirky kid is way in the back at this point.
Havent seen this yet

They were mocking the guy it's pretty clear. They weren't the one's who initiated the confrontation but they weren't innocent either. The real idiots are the chaperones who allowed all this shit to happen with high school kids. Cross their names off the next field trip.

That particular kid did that when the kids were chanting back at the racist black hebrews calling them names and telling them how there was going to be a race war were they all get killed by the black hebrews.

I'm convinced you're trolling now, or simply ignorant of all aspects of the situation

OMG. Nathan Phillips military service records are coming out and apparently he was literally a refrigerator mechanic in the USMC Reserves stationed in freaking Nebraska. He was discharged as a private after four years. Which I didn't even think was possible. Most are at least specialists or even sergeants by then. And he went AWOL several times. In other words a total fraud.

Hahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahaha

Fuck

 

[BillytheFish]

You're also an idiot. There's that.

Lol doing name calling are we...have fun singing in choir princess. And you call ME the internet tough guy hahaha. Fucking hell.

 

[SBJJ]

was this before or after they vandalized the Holocaust museum?

After. But right before they had a circle jerk all over the tomb of the unknown soldier. The Black Israelites and Westboro Baptists tried to stop them. But nothing could stop that rabid mob of red hats

Kid doesn't have to move for shit.

What kind of demand is that?

 

[Amerikuracana]

I think the main story is the hate group saying the things they said. That would be the main story if the hate group was white, and I don't like double standards.

I was on the belief that he walked up and thats when the staredown happened.
In this video, the kid is like 30 feet in the back.
Changes the narrative.

The kids were standing where they were told to wait on the bus and standing there when they were set upon by the black hebrew israelites, and then chief stolen valor leftist agitator came to the party with his camera crew. They are teenagers. They were fine. The fucking "adults" were in the wrong, here.

Everyone with a brain knows that twitter YouTube and Facebook are used to further the leftist agenda.

We just gotta be better people

This might go down as the biggest Anti-Trump Race Baiting Fake News story in history.

There have been several.
