He did nothing wrong. He didn't touch the faux adult, didn't say anything to him, didn't get in his way, nothing. How exactly did he act like an ass?
The smirk.
1. An expression. You're willing to condemn a minor for an expression that you don't even know is voluntary. A lot of people don't such expressions when on a situation where they're confronted by unstable liberals.
2. He made no attempt to physically do anything to the threatening adult.
3. You're willing to completely ignore what the adult did because of an expression. The adult got in the kid's face. The adult banged his drum and changed directly at the kid. You ignore all that and complain that the kid is an assignment because of an expression. It is a credit to the kid's training that he didn't assault the drummer.
As we all know, Trump supporters crave violence so I’m happy to applaud hat boy on the restraint he’s shown.
If you’ll actually read what I wrote instead of what your imagination is telling you….
His parents are pimping him out. They’ve now sued (if the threads here are to be believed) NBC, WaPo, and CNN for $750M.
I’m criticizing the parents of hat-boy.
You already said he acted like an ass and "deserves whatever scorn comes his way in the future."
Don't hand us this bullshit that you're criticizing the parents for the lawsuit. You're criticizing the kid for smiling and saying and doing nothing. Hell, truth be told, you're not even criticizing him for that. You're criticizing and reviling him because he wore a MAGA hat. That's it.
If the Covington boys had not been wearing MAGA hats this whole sordid business would have never happened. The hats triggered the Black Israelites to berate them and call them "crackers" and other insults involving incest and who knows what else. So the boys start doing their school chant to drown out the racist noise coming from the BI guys and this in turn caught Phillip's attention. But Phillips, rather than approach the people actually spouting racist invective, approached the Covington kids because, like the BI guys, he was triggered by the hat and automatically assumed they were the cause of it all.
It all comes down to the hat. The hat triggered you, the BI guys, Phillips and every Trump hater in the country in spite of the fact the boys did and said nothing to cause the incident.
There’s some truth to that. He does deserve whatever scorn comes his way….he acted like an ass. His parents should not be pimping him out for profit.
You've studiously avoided condemning or even commenting on the actions of the adult, instead focusing on the kid. Why is that?
In this situation, the onus is on the adult to not get in the kid's face. He was the ass. Do you condemn or support what he did? And I will apologize in advance if you have already weighed in on that and I just missed it.
