Left-Wing Media Is Ruining My High School - BFritz21 - 01-21-2019 A bunch of kids from my high school were at the Right to Life March in Washington, DC, and were waiting on their busses when a Native American elder came up to them and started beating his drum in one kid's face. The left-wing media (and population in general) took 30 second clips from a much longer incident and made it look like the kids were harassing Native Americans just because they were wearing MAGA hats: Quote:A Catholic diocese outside Cincinnati is investigating the actions of some of its high school students during the Indigenous Peoples March in Washington on Friday. There's more in that link, but it caused my high school to receive so much hate mail, Twitter hate, phone calls, death threats, bomb threats, etc., that they had to shut-down all of their social media sites. The media portrayed the kids to be racist and posted false information, like they were just hating on minorities and were a bunch of bigots. However, then the truth started to come out and showed that the Native American man came up to the students while they were waiting for their bus to leave and started banging his drum in the kid's face. My school's students were doing nothing but standing there and doing school spirit cheers. Another Native American even starts to harass a student, but the student that was getting the drum banged in his face told him to just let it go, even though they were doing nothing wrong: Quote:The mainstream media is suggesting that the boys mobbed around the man, chanted "build the wall" and harassed the man known as Nathan Phillips, who is allegedly a Vietnam war veteran. The kid and his family are receiving death threats and news stations are running wild with the story and calling the kid and the school racist and every other name in the book. Most new sites and TV stations are running wild with this story and posting false information that can ruin this kid's life and ruin my school's reputation, so let's just hope that the truth becomes more widely known. Most media outlets don't care about the truth, though, because the truth very rarely is what gets the most clicks and makes them the most money. RE: Left-Wing Media Is Ruining My High School - Au165 - 01-21-2019 This will go well. RE: Left-Wing Media Is Ruining My High School - Vas Deferens - 01-21-2019 seems quite personal. RE: Left-Wing Media Is Ruining My High School - GMDino - 01-21-2019 I've seen the long video of this. Where were the parents and chaperones? Someone should have taken the smiling boy and walked him away, perhaps moved the group away. I blame the parents.

He was just smiling because he didn't know what else to do! And you're resorting to that as the reason that everyone is angry? That just proves that you're hating just to hate and have no real reason to criticize! What do you think they did wrong?!

The boy released a statement that said he was smiling to show the man he wasn't a threat to him. He needed to walk away. Or better yet an adult needed to walk him away. The man in the video did walk up to them because he said (and the group of boys also say) there was some "trouble" between the boys and a third party and the guy wanted to get between them to calm it down. In return he got the kid smiling at him (creepily unfortunately) while a bunch of teenage boys acted like teenage boys making like fools. It's up to adults to handle these things so that the story doesn't get out of hand. The only adult responses so far has been for the school and the dioceses to say they are "looking into it" and to make all of their social media private and one parent who said it was a "black muslim" that started all the trouble. I was a teenage boy at a Catholic school. They aren't any different than any other teenage boy. The difference comes from parenting. I've gone to the March for Life (long story about how we didn't get to march) and I've been on trips with a bunch of teenagers who don't have enough adult supervision...both as a teen and as an adult. I'm not surprised there is video of them acting like fools, I'm not surprised that smiling boy is covering by saying he was just trying to be friendly. Only they know what is really in their hearts...but something about the responses makes me think it's not all rosary beads and "god bless". RE: Left-Wing Media Is Ruining My High School - masonbengals fan - 01-21-2019 More bias from the media. What else is new? I feel sorry for the kids. A trip to our capitol turns into this circus. Shameful conduct by those supposed protesters. RE: Left-Wing Media Is Ruining My High School - bfine32 - 01-21-2019 (01-21-2019, 11:23 AM)GMDino Wrote: I've seen the long video of this. Why should someone have forced the "smiling boy" to surrender his right of peaceful assembly? He was simply standing there and dude playing the drum gets in his face and he does nothing more than stand there and smile. RE: Left-Wing Media Is Ruining My High School - fredtoast - 01-21-2019 Apparently a huge misunderstanding that was aggravated by the boy having a smug smile and refusing to let the native American pass. The kid really didn't do much wrong, all he needed to do was step aside and let the guy pass. I think he just mistook the native American for one of the African Americans that had been acting like ass holes. As Dino said, it was a tense situation and the parents should have stepped in. But that is what happens when adults try to use unsupervised children to protest for them.

I must have missed that part in the video. I saw no attempt from the drummer to try to bypass the youth. I simply saw the youth standing in place. What were the youths protesting?

Stepping aside to let the Native American pass would in no way be a "surrender of his rights". The question is why create a conflict when there is no need? If he had no problem with the native American then why not just step aside and let him pass? What point was the boy trying to make? With that smug smile he comes off looking like an asshole refusing to move for no reason other than to create a conflict.

Why should he have moved? Because an adult would have seen that he looked disrespectful even if he wasn't and in today's day and social media age that is enough to start a huge disagreement. (Like if there was one photo of a Democratic officials standing on beach kinda looking at a girl's chest.) Instead it seems the adults were recording it on their phones with no idea why it might look bad for them. Like I said, the "dude" walked over to get between the teens and and another group...according to the "dude" and the boys. It looks bad because the kid (smiling boy) just stares and appears to be smirking. It goes on too long for a chaperone to not have stepped in. But once again they are a group of teen boys...I'm not surprised they acted a little immature as it was all going on. That's not to blame them for doing anything wrong. It's just an unfortunate situation where both sides will rush to tell their narrative to rile up someone.

Criticize is a better word. The hate is coming from most other people. (01-21-2019, 11:53 AM)GMDino Wrote: AYou're so full of shit and you have no idea what you're talking about! You're just making things up! (A) He never says he was smiling to show that the man wasn't a threat and never even mentions that he was smiling (much-less why). He was remaining motionless and calm to try and diffuse the situation, which you can read here, since you obviously didn't before, or you're blatantly lying.

If you watch the video, the kids pretty much laughed it off and handled it very well. The guy walked up and started beating his drum in the kid's face, which that kid wasn't even involved with the people yelling, so how was he trying to calm it down? If you watch, another Native American starts yelling at another student, which that student also handles it calmly. C They were all waiting on the bus and backed up against the stairs with crowds behind them and really nowhere to go. I'd say the kids handled it pretty well. Also, isn't the Native American an adult? So you're blaming the adults for not intervening when they didn't even need to, but not the adult for not acting like an adult? Only a Steelers fan............ D So you're mad at them for trying to gather the facts instead of jumping to conclusions like the rest of the world? Makes sense, but, like I said, Steelers fans.................... E Seems like they raised some great boys here F Why'd they need adult supervision? They were standing there doing school chants and were approached! G Acting like fools?! You're as bad as the left-wing media just tossing out bullshit which they're all being called out on now! How were they acting like fools?! (01-21-2019, 12:01 PM)bfine32 Wrote: EXACTLY! People make up the stupidest reasons to hate!

How the hell did the boy create the conflict? He was standing still, the drummer approached him. Who knew the NA didn't have the ability of lateral movement.

Seriously, though, I do wonder -- as you mentioned in a different thread -- where the parents were at. I watched all two hours of the long video (skipping a minute here and there) and im not really sure what adult thought it would be a good idea to dress kids up in maga hats and direct them into the path of racial/religious extremists. I'm glad the Indian was there, because there parents were apparently too busy doing something else off camera RE: Left-Wing Media Is Ruining My High School - bfine32 - 01-21-2019 It's cute how the usual suspects are trying to compare this to youth fighting in a Mall parking lot as to parental responsibility. I've heard things such as : where were the parents....the parents were filming the event. The child in the video does absolutely nothing wrong, what should a parent have done if standing right beside the boy? Are folks suggesting the NA was a threat and the boy was in possible danger? Seems pretty racist.

Yeah, if the parents were there, then they're also called racist for harassing the NA and it's even worse! They wanted to the kids to walk away? Walk away to where?! They were waiting on their bus and minding their own business, but, yes, it's a good idea to have a bunch of high school kids walk off and separate! |
