He was trying to get a kid to push or punch him. He’s lucky it wasn’t a PETA group who would have doused him for the animal skin drum he was showing disrespect for by hammering on it. 

“The Hebrew Israelites were educating them about America”

This incident really exposes what the twitter-left and the Gawker platform crowd is all about.  They’re bigots.  Many here would truly love to see these teenage boys beaten to death for the crime of wearing MAGA hats.  

100% he knew what he was looking for - that footage is from his own team. He’s an expert protester. Not sure if he makes a living, but this is Nathan’s thing. He was looking to get a single touch which would be an assault to nail the MAGA kid. He didn’t get it so he lied after picking out the few seconds of video.…

Black guys spit on white kids, call them f*gs, peckerwoods, crackers, incest kids, school shooters, and harass the black Covington students with them. Not a peep. No calls for doxing, no death threats, basically no reaction at all.

hand-waving the behavior of the Black Israelites as “that’s just what they do” is the subtle racism of lowered expectations

because everybody knows the best way to deescalate a situation is to get in a kid’s face while loudly and annoyingly banging a ridiculous drum

It was a good job all of the footage was available otherwise this kid could’ve had his life ruined (expelled from school, branded a nazi etc). The media immediately latched on to the narrative that this proto white supremacist approached the native guy and tried to intimidate him. Whereas we now know that the native…

Note the absence of criticism for the real instigators of the debacle...the “Black Israelites” who screamed racist, homophobic, hate-filled invective at a group of teens (white and black). There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Yeah, he’s a bullshitter.

I actually think the first to get doxxed was a wholly uninvolved other kid who just happens to look like Sandmann.

First off, there is something lost in this story and in all of this video footage. Here in our nations capital, at the Lincoln Memorial, we have The Nation Of Israel, crazy as they are, a Native American protest, and High School students who had attended a pro life march. All three were there, all three had voices…

Neither do they detail the fact that Phillips only walked near the writhing mass of sneering young white men as a way to try and calm them.

“Oh noes, people are arguing over a little kerfuffle that involved some mean words and zero violence. That’s it, America is over! Time to leave for one of the many glorious utopias that surely exist beyond our borders.”

This is seriously the worst article possibly in the world concerning the MAGA hat wearing kids. It doubles down entirely on the narrative that those kids were in the wrong and that people—especially women—should not doubt their version of the truth even if it may be a lie. Bonus: GAMERGATE...yay.

Are you really so myopic that you don’t realize the hypocrisies in what you wrote? The first person to get doxxed was this kid. These kids had a stranger walk up to them banging a drum and chanting, while conducting their own chants. They didn’t show hate or malice or anything like that. Your Pavlovian response to the…

So this kid deserves to be doxxed and harassed for standing there with a weird smile on his face, because he was wearing a MAGA hat he must have deserved it. I thought blaming a victim because of the clothing that they were wearing was wrong? But now you’re saying that an article of clothing itself can actually be…

your eyes are shaded by hate-colored glasses. You hate white men. Just admit it.

It’s over, Laura. We can see the man with the drum walk directly into the crowd and beat his drum in the kid’s face. The kid did nothing, he didn’t even move. He smirked. Is that a hate crime?

Did the writer of this article not see the television interview with the Native American drummer in question, where he explicitly states that the kids were harassed?
