The Trump Presidency

I'm not judging these kids. I don't know them. But in this particular instance I think many of them behaved badly. It is pretty clear from the clips.

Even if Phillips was doing something wrong (and I don't believe he was) the kids should have stepped aside and let him continue his merry way. The kid who stood his ground acted like a jerk and the others acted like clowns.

Stepped aside? How the heck would thry know his thinking? He approached them and started drumming with people behind him filming. Are white maga kids supposed to run away from all confrontation now?

No they shouldn't run away from all confrontations. But next time they should step aside for the old man beating on his drum.

Are you assuming that he wanted to pass? Maybe an understanding of his past could shed some light in his intentions.

As these boys go through life, they will learn there are many situations where respectfully stepping aside is the appropriate thing to do. There are other situations where standing their ground is the right thing to do. May they learn from their encounter with Mr. Phillips.

The lesson to be learned is to be mi dful of activists looking to setup a narrative and a complicit media that cares little for the truth.

And now the REAL story:

_______________________________________________

“We went to the Lincoln Memorial because that is where our bus was going,” the student explained. “We were standing there when a group of four African-American protesters started calling us ‘crackers’ and ‘school shooters.’”

“So, we started doing school cheers, because our school is very big on school spirit. We have a lot of chants and cheers that we do, so we started doing them. Eventually, while we were doing that, the Native American man approached us and was banging his drum. He walked directly into the crowd and approached the one student that is all over the place right now. The boy just stood there. When I first saw it happening I was really confused. I didn’t know what was happening. I just saw this man approach a fellow student and start banging a drum in his face.”


“I was more in the background, so I didn’t see him coming up at first, but I heard the drum,” the student continued. “The man wasn’t alone. He had other Native American men with him, one of which got into the face of another student, actually. This was right in front of me. He was saying some things like ‘go back to Europe’ and ‘you took this land,’ that happened right in front of me. He was screaming at the student.”

Smith said that the protesters were also using gay slurs to insult them.



The families also wanted to make it clear that there were no chants of “build the wall,” or anything else that could be seen as offensive. Mrs. Smith recited one of the Covington chants, saying that it could have been what Phillips heard.
