Well well, it seems that the story about the Catholic High School students "Mocking Native American Vet" isn't quite what it appears.
Here is a video showing segments of the incident from start to finish as tweeted which shows that the Native American Vet and his peers were the ones who initiated the "confrontation."
Now I am not that interested in the commentary by the presenter, I am focused on the video evidence presented.
Therefore I suggest you START AT 3:32 and end at 5:54 and view through the tweeted videos showing the progression of actual events.
Video segment's 1 & 2. You see the Native American protesters led by the complaining drummer slowly approaching the group of Catholic School boys who are minding thier own business on some steps waiting for their busses to return to school.
Video Segment 3. You see the drummer has walked up and started banging his drum right next to the head of the "smiling kid" who doesn't want to back away.
Video Segment 4. This shows even more clearly that the drummer was the one who came up right into the face of the kid who was already smiling, and continues to beat his drum in the face of the kid. NOTE: THIS is the the portion of the video we have been seeing posted in the news and her in the Forum. NOT the part where the Native American Veteran walks up and gets in the kids face...only the part where he is already there and the kid seems to be smiling in an "intimidating way."
Video Segment 5. You can hear the Native American protesters yelling at the kids "Why don't you White people go back to Europe where you came from!"
Fake news, claiming these kids started this incident, were acting in intimidating ways, and that the young man in the center of the allegations did absolutlely nothing wrong. :doh
Now, all of you who claimed this was another example of MAGA racism on display...what do you say now?

Kudos to Captain Adverse for his thread. I came to the conclusion this story was BS by watching the videos on social media.
But evidently if there is a MAGA hat involved on this forum then that is key in bringing forth judgement against an individual.
The parents of that kid should be darn proud. He stood there with a smile on his face while he was being harassed by the drum man who was obviously trying to instigate a confrontation.
...and yet in the original negative thread we have some people still claiming it is all the kid's fault, that the videos show the kids were "acting badly."
The evidence clearly shows it was the Native American vet on the drums who came over with his group hoping to "start something" with these kids. That HE got in the smiling kid's face. A kid who did nothing but stand his ground and smile.
Yet the naysayers are still blaming him, and the other kids for their behavior. :doh
The hypocrisy and dishonesty is truly stunning, and they wonder why people who can think for themselves can still choose not to follow the mob.

This thread is lie. Here is the clip shown in the video you have, but this time with the sound. It clearly shows the students were not minding their own business
And they are standing on the steps some distance from the curb - a strange place to be waiting for a bus.
And there is no good reason to make tomahawk motions with your hands; Only racist reasons.
Not a "lie" Sangha. You are very free with the use of that word :doh.
1. They are standing on the steps most likely for control purposes away from the road in a place where their teacher's can see all of them.
2. The "Tomahawk Chop" is still used at several sports events by those fans of sports teams who still have "Indian" names.
The kids hear a native drum beat and sing while doing the chop? Not an insult unless you want it to be.
Nice deflection though. Kid smiling still did nothing wrong :shrug:
Another very clear video at this FB post.

I use it only when applicable
1) So you dont know, but that does not stop you from making stuff up. And you wonder why you see me using the word lie a lot? :lamo
2) And it is racist.
Well well, it seems that the story about the Catholic High School students "Mocking Native American Vet" isn't quite what it appears.
1)that still doesn't explain why they were whooping and yelling at Native Americans, and then following to prevent their entry to Lincoln memorial and circling them
2) The Covington High School mascot are the Colonels. The High Schoolers were whooping and Tomahawk Chopping because they wanted to offend Native Americans. Because get this: They're racist little turds.
We are colossal liars now, sadly.
Really bad times are coming.
Almost here....
If the story is fake as you, a self-admitted Trumper claim, then why is their Catholic School issuing an apology?
US school apologies for students mocking elderly Native American
P.S. I never use video's as a source, and I rarely accept video's as a source. Far too easily manipulated. Secondly, I don't believe Trumpers. You people have shed whatever credibility you once possessed.
Because they were going off of what journalists wrote down (made up, lied) instead of watching all the footage of what actually happened.I use it only when applicable

2) And it is racist.
Two sides to every coin.....I believe I may have errored in my earlier comments.
*edit...it appears I was indeed wrong; My apologies to the kid in question.
