You’re assuming they did nothing wrong and even under the most generous possible interpretation that’s a dramatic overstatement. Even with no video, if Nathan Phillips had gone to my school with that story it would’ve resulted in suspensions at the very least.
god damn, that really gives me some flashbacks of running as fast as i can from a large group of older, stronger kids who i couldn't actually get away from and who when they caught me kept kicking and punching me for i have no idea how long, they didn't want anything, just that

I can barely believe we watched the same footage. I got nauseous when they were circling around him, with the ringleader saying “don’t touch him, don’t touch him,” because that’s exactly how the kids I went to school would try to start a fight in public without hitting first.

holy shit you can't think of *any other reason* that somebody would say not to touch the dude in that situation? in particular given that no fight was started and it was Phillips who rolled up on the kids, not the other way around?
