There's some irony in these kids going to DC to protest something and then getting caught up in another protest. Gotta love DC, there's always a shitshow to be found.
Personally I would have extended my hand to the native man and invited him to pray with me, both in our own way, for peace and harmony on Earth. But I don't expect high school kids to have that level of sense.
I don't have a problem with the kid staring and smirking at him. That ain't cool, but it ain't mean either. Many of his classmates acted like asshats from what I have seen.
Was the dude violating the kids personal space to bang his drum cool?
Was the dude being mean?
We're the kids ?
Not the one everyone is losing their shit about...odd you missed that, I already said that in the post you quoted.
Serious question...what should the conclusion be if Covington Catholic officials and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington release a statement saying: ""We condemn the actions of the Covington Catholic High School students towards Nathan Phillips specifically, and Native Americans in general"
Go back across the Bering strait, chief. Works both ways.I liked the part where one of the native Americans told the kids to go back to Europe.
These schools run scared all in the name of political correctness.You are calling both the school officials and diocese member liars. That's calling it like you are.
Extra, you see white kids and jump to conclusions based on bias reporting. Now the full story and unedited video has come out showing the kids did nothing but stand their ground from racist bigots that were calling them racial slurs and spouting off anti homosexual terms. Good for these kids they are owed an apology.
I didn't miss it. Think they acted like teenagers. They were doing Indian chants along with them, like they were singing along to music, until this dude just got closer and closer and it started getting awkward and nobody knew how to react st that point.
If you believe chanting along with a group of people who walk up into the middle of you is disrespectful , well ok then. That's the worst thing the students did. I contend it is not though.
What the hell were they supposed to do? As soon as the Indians walk up take a knee and starting bowing "we're not worthy! " I wouldn't know how to react in that situation. Especially when people are screaming at me "go back to Europe!"

Bunch of you eating crow right now. Once again you swallowed hook line and sinker bias media crap.
What should be said now about this Indian elder and the black racists?
Raoul, you do realize all the stuff you said there has been shown false now right?
And I'm being argumentative about it because as more of these facts come back out , the narrative is being rolled back from "Harrrr kill that punk he needs slapped!" To "well, there's culpability on both sides."
STFU for what? Yelling school chants? If they were mocking the Native Americans that's one thing. Fact is, they weren't. Could they have handled it better? Maybe. I'm still not sure what some of you wanted them to do. If you were in a public location, expressing yourself and someone came up and started banging a drum inches from your face, what would you do? Walk away? I highly doubt it.

They stood their ground.
I think GK really became upset because of the Global Warming issue.I’m sure GK hasn’t abandoned this thread. Being the non-ideologue he is, he must simply be researching this from all angles to determine what really happened. No way would the apolitical centrist try to make it appear as if these kids were the ones in the wrong when clearly the Vietnam vet (nice touch, GK) was the primary instigator.
So, where are you GK? Get back in here and take your lumps.
I haven't drawn a conclusion. I don't care one way or the other.
Yeah. Act like you have some damn sense. It's the Lincoln Memorial, not a basketball game. The VVM is right over to your left if you are facing the Reflecting Pool. It's not an area I'd act like an ass in.
