Seriously, sometimes I cannot understand how dimwits like you make it through life. I also don’t understand why I waste my time explaining elementary things to people like you but I’ll give it a shot. We can all see in the video what happens. There were two groups the Israelites and the kids that were bantering back-and-forth. The Native Americans got in the middle to try and defuse it. The native American may have walked up to the boy but he sang and beat a drum in an effort to defuse The situation. The boy clearly stood there and stared down the old man staying right in his face. We can all see who did what in the confrontation. The old man was not staring down the kid. The old man was not glaring in the kids face. Let’s be honest about the situation. I’m not saying the kid should get thrown in jail or expelled but I am saying that your characterization of the event is not even close to accurate. Grow upYes, although I wouldn’t describe his actions as deliberately as you just did.No, the kid got blamed because of an image of him staring down an old timer as he played drums. The media ran with the impression of an image before seeking the whole picture. It was a lazy and wreckless mistakeBlaming the kids because: a) they were white; b) they were wearing MAGA hats; and c) they had been in town to participate in an anti-abortion rally. Three strikes and you're out, right?
Would that be the adult activist who deliberately waded into a crowd of teenagers on a school trip...picked out one of those kids who was wearing a Make America Great Again hat...and got right up in his face? Would THAT be the "old timer" you're referring to?
Who moved to confront the other? Was it the teen? Or was it the adult activist? You're the one who just said that getting in someone's face was the real provocation. So who was it that caused that?
