What were the kids doing there chanting in the first place? The videos don't go back far enough. He was there to perform a ceremony for fellow Native American Vietnam soldiers who had died in the war, not entertain a bunch of high school kids.


Seriously.....GET THE WHOLE STORY, DUDE! YOU’RE EMBARASSING YOURSELF!

From CNN.....

CNN)A video that shows white high school students in Make America Great Again hats and shirts mocking a Native American elder shocked the country, leading to widespread denunciations of the teens' behavior.

It was a moment in a bigger story that is still unfolding.

A new video that surfaced Sunday shows what happened before and after the encounter Friday in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

In the new video, another group taunts the students from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky with disparaging and vulgar language. The group of black men, who identify as members of the Hebrew Israelites, also shout r****t slurs at participants of the Indigenous Peoples Rally and other passersby.
The new video adds context to an encounter viewed by many as the latest sign of bigotry infecting the country. Screenshots of a smirking teen staring down Omaha tribe elder Nathan Phillips spread through the internet, sparking widespread outrage.

But a teen who says he was involved in the encounter said the students' actions have been wrongly interpreted as r****t. In a statement, Nick Sandmann said the students decided to raise their voices to drown out the Hebrew Israelites' inflammatory comments -- not to intimidate or mock Phillips. Phillips has said the teen blocked his escape.

But neither Sandmann's statement or the video will be the last word on the controversy. Here's what the video shows:

The Hebrew Israelites begin by disparaging the students
The new video was shot by a member of the adult group.
The men identify as members of the Hebrew Israelites, a movement that believes some b***k A******ns are the descendants of an ancient Israelite tribe.

A man in a long black coat does most of the talking and shouting, occasionally banging a walking stick on the concrete for emphasis. Another man dressed in black holds a poster with the names of the 12 tribes of Israel in one column and another described as the corresponding "s***e names" of different racial identities.

Another man with an Afro and a Star of David necklace h*****g around his neck occasionally recites scripture while the person filming occasionally adds his own commentary.

The video opens with a tense encounter involving the men and a woman who challenges their beliefs and calls for peace.

"Peace to what land?" one of the men responds. "How you gonna have peace to this land ... when you got this madman in the White House?"

The camera pans past the group, catching the first glimpse of the teenagers, at least one wearing a red Make America Great Again hat.

"Then you got those pompous bastards over there wearing Make America Great Again hats," one voice says. "Why you not angry at them?"

He doesn't care if he's wrong or not. The fact is, in the eyes of the wacko left, that some of the kids were wearing MAGA hats, so for that alone, they deserves to have their lives, and those of their families, turned upsidedown and destroyed, the manufactured situation merely provided the extremists the opportunity to do so.

I Don't know the whole story, buy from a video this AM it looks as if the Native American approached the kid waring the MAGA hat. Not the other way around. The kid was mute while the guy played a drum incheds from his face. If someone accosted me that way. he would have that drumstick in his ear.

Let's not be mistaken. Despite the fact that these boys were wearing Trump hats and had attended a rally to support life, their actions were totally immature and disrespectful. Let's be plain about it. They were bullies and snots. Gotta wonder what kind of teaching they've been receiving at their school. As it turns out, the man was there to perform a ceremony for fellow Native Americans who had died in Vietnam....the kids should have honored him, not bullied him.

This narrative has been totally debunked as edited f**e news.
Watch the entire unedited video and the comments of the students including the one you are disparaging before posting more of this garbage.
More F**e News that will have to be recanted as usual.

When I first saw this I thought many were keeping time with the drum, smiling. In the close-up scene that one boy looked happy, not scowling. In a later interview he said he was trying to defuse the situation. Was there any out and out disrespect shown?

If you are standing still and someone approaches you beating a drum, walks right up to within inches of you...and you choose to remaining standing where you have been standing...peacefully...

Who is being the aggressor?

Who is trying to create a scene for the cameras?

Exactly. This whole story has since been debunked and the so called Native American has previously been involved in similar instances. He is a Left Wing operative who intentionally starts s**t, trying to make Trump supporters look bad. In this instance the kids wearing MAGA hats did absolutely nothing wrong and started nothing. It was the Left, once again, who started this confrontation.

Call it for what is was, case of bigotry by the white kid and other kids. Now the question is anyone going hold the kids accountable, or are we going pass it off as just kids having fun.

Apparently you are not paying attention to facts. Watch the entire video showing the Native American Left Wing provocateur approaching the kids as they stood there mind their own business. You on the Left don't give a s**t about facts, only about pushing your L*****t agenda, ala the Hitler youth groups in the 30's. This is America, still a land of freedoms. One of those freedoms is to stand, wearing a cap that shows your opinion might be different from someone else's opinion, without the other person coming over to make fun of your beliefs or to harass you for wearing the hat. THAT is what this is all about. The Left Wing agitator approached the kids who did nothing and were still doing nothing but stand there throughout the video.

I am listening to one of the women who was a chaperone to these teenagers. They were the ones attacked and did not respond or fight back to the swearing and verbal abuse heaped upon them as can be seen in the real videos.

Who writing about a hat, I was about how one person was degrading another person. The kids could have just walk always, no their did not, it was fun degrading another person. I see you are from Colorado and Idaho and South Calf. People from those area look at Native American as dirt anyway. PS: You don't know your history very well L*****t and Hitler youth groups as one in the same. That like saying red is green and green is red. You reading "1984"?
