[W:435]*******Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

There...was...no..."violence." :roll:

Which of us was on what horse? :coffeepap:

I was more referring to your "DURRR LEFTISTS DO FAR WORSE" idiocy, as if your team's hands are clean.
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

See post 20.

So, no I don't think what he did was a problem except to the most sensitive among us. Did it stop the gentleman from singing? No.

Everything is a matter of perspective. From MY perspective, BOTH were exercising non-violent freedom of expression. One verbally singing, the other silently standing. :shrug:
Meh. When it comes to things MAGA, few of us are buying the excuse "it's not illegal", anymore.

A better defense might be that the kid was naively mocking the guy, which is indeed possible. Maybe the hat was simply a coincidence unrelated to the actions.
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

He and his pals were trying to shut it down. You failed to notice.

They were counter protesting. Free speech, baby.

Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

Little Trumpers hating on a brown-skinned US military veteran. Disgusting.

Aside from the punk engaged in the stare-down, what really happened here? Answer: nothing. No one touched him and he was in no real danger from what i could tell even though he was outnumbered 50 - 1. I defy anyone here to grab a drum and start singing some incoherent tune in front of a bunch of high school boys and not be mocked. WTF did he expect was going to happen? This is just another example of liberals looking for some way to play the victim.
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

It's not shocking at all quite frankly. Oh wait.....sarcasm.....got it.

All sarcastic comments should be in this color to make it clear.

I was on a forum way back in the day where we used a pink/magenta color for sarcastic comments. The Escapist, maybe?

Glad to see you respect our veterans so much.

That is completely untrue. They were singing along not trying to shut it down. Try to tell the truth on occasion.
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

lol...free speech is what will allow millions of people to destroy this little twit's life. It's a wonderful thing.

You have a ****ed up idea of "freedom". This is why the Left can't be trusted with our civil rights. They only respect free speech when it's speech they agree with.
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

Great to hear!

I'm a product of the Catholic School system. I love the Catholic Schools. I mean really & truly. I can't tell you all they mean to me, and what I've seen them do. They've done so much good. So things like this do break my heart.

My time in the Catholic School system was admittedly a long time ago. Back then in my city, they were all-boy prep schools, but often had an immigrant flavor depending on the school and the neighborhood they served. Some of us were poor, some were not, some were immigrants, some were not, and we almost all were city kids. But damn, we all got a great education and - especially - were infused with (IMO) great values.

However now many years later, most of the Catholic Prep schools now seem to be in the suburbs, and are comprised of a more affluent and highly Caucasian & "landed" demographic. They and their students now more resemble the stereotypical East Coast "elite" type prep boarding schools, that much of society seems to despise. Of course stereotypes don't always ring true, but I have seen it creeping into the Catholic prep schools over the years.

At the least, the suburban kids in their prep schools are having a far different experience than I had in the more ethnic based prep schools back in the city. And it shows in videos like that above. We Catholics are no longer the newly arrived minority guys, on the lower rungs of the totem poll. We've got to remember where we and our families came from, and keep a vigilant watch on this stuff.

Great post. Thank you.

I went through the Catholic Ed system too, from reception right up until my final year in HS when I transferred to a public school. I do have some very fond memories of my time there. They certainly never taught intolerance or anything I would consider bigoted or hateful.

That's another truckload of irony! :lamo

Thats just a stupid comment. Do you ever actually add anything to a thread?

So, you should get to say what is legal and what isn't?
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

Not shocking that the Left would be making much of this. :shrug:
Not shocking that our resident "muh free speech!" warrior, doesn't give two ****s about a clear example of some MAGAbillies trying to harass somebody of their own freedom of expression.
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

Yes, making fun of you.
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

They were chanting "Build that Wall" because the cute little racists can't differentiate between a Mexican and a Native American.


Racists without a clue.
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

That's another truckload of irony! :lamo

The right only respects veterans when they can use them as props. Otherwise, they **** them on health care and deploy them repeatedly to pointless vanity wars. Sorry to burst your tiny, tiny bubble.
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

Yes, making fun of you.

You dont do a very good job of that either.

Of course you don't, since you and other's have come to equate a "MAGA" hat as the equivalent of wearing a "swastika" armband.

That's been the Left's narrative all along. Anyone who supports Trump is a racist, sexist, deplorable, etc.

Everyone who opposes him represents truth, justice, and the socialist way.

I have always supported non-violent freedom of expression, whether I agree with it or not.

Your side seems to like freedom of expression ONLY when it agrees with your narratives.

I am not buying it. :shrug:

"Singing along"? :lamo

In what alternate universe is "singing along" chanting an entirely different thing? If that's your defense, go sit down for a bit and think of a better one. Jesus Christ, that's pathetic. Utterly pathetic.

The indians didn't need walls. They would move in, kill everyone and take over.

Theyre teen age kids acting like teen age kids. As for the stupid racism card, had this guy done the same thing in front of a group of black high school students, how do you think that would have gone?
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

Wow thanks for writing that. It was well thought out from a catholic perspective. It's stuff like this that will and does drive people away.
Thanks!

But I wish I could have edited a line in the closing paragraph from:

"We Catholics are no longer the newly arrived minority guys, on the lower rungs of the totem poll."

To:

"We European derived Catholics are no longer the newly arrived minority guys, on the lower rungs of the totem poll."

Oh well ...
 
Re: Native American Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out After MAGA Hat-Wearing Teens Harass Him

I watched the video this morning. Not sure why there is so much outrage over it, the kid isn't doing anything that appears to be "racist", he's just acting like a punk. Maybe if he wasn't wearing a MAGA hat?

Hat makes zero difference to me, I've got two. And while I wasn't viewing it as racist I am viewing it as some punk trying to be the big man on campus because he stood in the veterans face like that.

Do think these kids new the words??? What the hell is wrong with you? This dope walked into a crowd of kids banging a drum and chanting. What sort of reaction did he expect? Tell you what, you go get yourself a drum and walk into the middle of a group of kids and start chanting and come back and tell me what the reaction was.
Nothing happened here except moronic liberals getting their panties in a bunch.
