Dude was silently praying? Fuck this little liar and the pieces of shit who defend him while wearing their Christianity on their sleeves. @ me. I fucking dare you.

Seriously, whoever wrote this bullshit wrote it for Fox News and to make fragile white men feel good about themselves. This asshole is irredeemably deplorable at 17 years old.

Have you watched longer versions of the video taken at the incident? If you haven’t I recommend it.

I watched one that was an hour long this AM. Clearly shows the natives stepping in between the HS kids and AA protesters, in a peaceful manner. His song was a peace prayer, if I'm not mistaken. They were attempting to help and were disrespected, which sucks.

I watched an almost 2 hour video and after the bleeding in my ears stopped, that was I took from it. The kids were wound up from the Hebrews vitriol, and took it out on Mr. Phillips.

Either way, they were wrong. Plus, who lets a group of kids act like that at a national monument? IF there were really adults with them, they should've removed them from the situation before ANY of this happened. Let's not forget that point as well.

That is where I am confused. Why did the adults let the protesters engage the kids. Like I said, as can adult, I would have gotten inbetween the kids and adults. Removing the child should have been the first priority.

Because they were all decked out in their MAGA gear. They’re invincible and entitled and superior. They didn’t stop that kid because they think he’s right to behave that way. Young boys marching at a pro-life rally - the whole trip for them was a pilgrimage in entitlement.

No apology? Figures. I bet that kid has never apologized for anything in his life and I’m also willing to bet he never will.

PS I’d love to read this kid’s text messages. I’m curious if they’re as articulate as this statement.

Did you notice the letter referred to Mr. Phillips as “a Native American protester” throughout the whole letter. Then the last sentence all of a sudden Mr. Phillip’s name is used. The school attorney drafted this letter.

My guess is it was drafted by PR hired by his parents and reviewed by their attorney. It’s an eloquent manipulation of events as seen on camera but a lot of things don’t add up.

Interesting. Please do share “a lot of things that don’t add up”? I would love to hear! Actually, how about 3 from the “lot”?

1 No adult chaperones shown anywhere 2. 50 boys chanting is not de-escalating a situation, it’s escalation. Walking away is de-escalation. 3. There is nothing on that boy’s face that says prayer or confusion. It’s all intimidation. Why didn’t he walk away?

I watched a 1 hour video and I did not see anyone that “looked” like an adult w/ them. I was going to go on and assume the alleged chaperones were out of view. I agree, they should have walked away.

The adult chaperone of the group, also a Father for the Church, was too busy recording the event. This was stated in an article that I read yesterday.

"I was worried that a situation was getting out of control where adults were were attempting to provoke teenagers." Yes this is totally the way teenagers talk.

As someone who taught writing to teenagers, this is what I used to refer to as “the parental draft.”

I think it came from a lawyer.

Precisely what I was about to say. You know the family's most likely got one on retainer...

High school kids don't write like that. I taught writing in college and college kids don't write like that either. It's a lawyer.

A lawyer who doesn’t know the plural spelling of “bus.”

I am not recalling the specific spelling in that letter but both buses and busses are acceptable.

It’s “busai”
