      I'm genuinely puzzled by the claim here that whooping up a tomahawk chant at a Native man (who was only trying to defuse the situation) could have been an act of "solidarity." https://twitter.com/robbysoave/status/1087087949538316288 …

      So because some assholes go way to far with threats of violence the kids being disrespectful get a free pass? And to top it off, they play the victim after getting called out for it? Obviously it was a contentious situation but these kids should have just walked away.

      Those kids were standing in the same spot for nearly two hours. Then a random dude with a drum walks up to them to bang it in their face and THEY are supposed to walk away? Man you might wana go watch the unedited versions then come back with something besides a headline quote

      What's wrong with drums? It's a musical instrument. Where I come from, children are taught to respect their elders, not harass them with racist chants.

          Be real. Phillips approached them not the other way around. You can't harass someone that is coming up to you. It kinda goes against the very definition of harassment. Lol harass. Such sensationalist word use there.

          As he was trying to walk through the crowd to spread the peace. Some of them crowd around him, blocking his exit. The one boy in his face would not let him move on. Doesn't matter if he walked in the crowd, they were preventing him from moving on.

          Must’ve missed your outrage over the treatment of this veteran, Jeet. Your blatant hypocrisy and abuse of your platform is far more indicative of the type of person you are than the Covington kidspic.twitter.com/7iYjtKmCKB

          Yup, you're right. That was disrespectful. Sorry, I don't see every single thing posted on the internet. Can only comment on what I see. So, do you think the other kids were being disrespectful, or are you just trolling?
