    Sometimes I agree with Ben, sometimes I don’t. Unfortunately we live in an era where we go, “Oh, he’s a liberal/conservative and I am the other, so I automatically hate everything you say.” Instead of just saying, “Yeah, Ben...bad analogy. Let’s get some coffee and discuss this further,” we’re shitting on him on

    Yep. He’s evil because the internet outrage machine says he is. All based on one photograph and one person’s version of the story. Everything that has come afterwards that has expanded, clarified, and refuted that original story has been ignored.

    Right! If only they had spent more time learning that a guy beating a drum in your face is trying to do you a favor!

    I was one of the people who was initially angry with the kids when the story first broke, but this guy is full of crap. He’s changed his story more than once. He claimed he went up to the boys to play the drum and diffuse the situation with some prayer song and he made no effort to leave the area when he was

    Romo is a great guy to have in the booth. I have actually learned more about how the game works in the last few years by listening to him than I did in the previous 35 years of being a football fan.

    This is not an accurate comparison at all. A black guy walking into a drug store and sitting at the counter was taking a huge personal risk and he most assuredly would be subject to aggressive and threatening behavior and not one single racist in that drug store would be claiming they were a victim. And these kids,

    He spends too much time meditating and enlightening everyone who follows his YouTube channel. He doesn’t have time to be a dad.

    They offered to meet with “the victim” and he refused.

    I don’t think these guys were victimized angels, but it was clear later that there was a hell of a lot more going on in that incident then just a bunch of white guys harassing a Native American.  

    Let’s just get real. Most people on both sides of this ridiculous story only see what they want to see. Whatever narrative confirms their bias that’s the one they will cling to. They will interpret everything they see in each video according to what they already believe about people who wear MAGA hats, or black guys,

    No one is decrying the abominable comments of the Black Israelites, but the white kids were judged guilty already, because they were white kids with MAGA hats and that automatically means, in the internet outrage machine, that they are racist. Forget getting the actual story right. 

    You missed the video where the Black Israelites decry that the U.S Government gave rights to homosexuals and one of the kids can be heard yelling back at them, “They are humans too!”

    You’ve updated the article numerous times, but now that video evidence has come up proving that these kids were not instigating anything you haven’t updated it. This is why when Trump yells “FAKE NEWS” his sycophants believe it. Here is a chance to actually follow up and tell the real story and you’ve gone silent.

    In one video the black Israelites yell that the U.S. Government gave rights to the homosexuals and one of the kids from the Catholic school yelled, “They’re humans too!”

    You know, I was outraged by this at first, but then I saw a much longer video of the incident and some of these kids are getting a bad rap. After this incident with the veteran (which there is no video of what happened leading up to it) there are three black men with a Bible who are screaming about how the government

    Yep. Most people who vote do NOTHING in their communities. They vote and wait around for the government to do everything and then complain that nothing changes.

    Marshawn Lynch sounds like a traditional conservative. Don’t rely on the government. Take care of your own communities.

    This is why I like the old 8-Bit consoles from the 80s. You don’t have to worry about losing online support. Just insert your Space Invaders cartridge and go to town!

    Longing for the day when people have compassion for the animals and humans. I don’t like rodeo, but I don’t like people dying either.
