"god, can you fucking BELIEVE what utterly unremarkable highschoolers these little assholes are? dox 'em! expel 'em! get Joey on the phone with some bomb and arson and other miscellaneous death threats!"

No one is endorsing death threats. Doxing was inevitable as soon as the video went up as their school was clearly identifiable. It’s banal because many of us saw this same shit many times in school, it just wasn’t caught on video. That doesn’t make it any less bad.

this same shit: kids dancing when somebody is beating a drum nearby! holy shit, inexcusable! (not an exaggeration, i was told barely a couple hours ago that that's what it was.) mimicking back behavior being done at them! stop the presses!

Replying to @chaosprime @FirstClassHack and
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?

While still crowding the guy in a circle!? No, I can’t. If they were trying to keep him safe, they would have backed away. Even if the guy saying don’t touch him was trying to defuse the situation, the kids he was trying to... prevent from touching the guy sure weren’t.

do you understand that you are talking about *high school children*? one of whom was acting responsibly to deescalate a situation that an adult was blatantly working to escalate? and blaming them for you being able to Monday morning quarterback their conflict handling?

Yeah, they’re high school boys on a field trip—what could go wrong? Obviously the real blame attaches to the parents and teachers who were supposed to be chaperoning them. My interest in the kids is purely diagnostic: as in, what the fuck is wrong with this country?

apparently what could go wrong is that despite doing an amazing job of not letting an enormously experienced activist bait them into any actual misbehavior they could get set on fire by society anyway

between that, calling out the BHIs for homophobia, and reassuring their black classmate that they love him when the BHIs told him they were gonna cannibalize him, i don't really fuckin' know that it's these kids that are diagnostic of what the fuck is wrong with this country atm
