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.  

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.

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.

Have we lost all perspective?

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.”

Or maybe because now we actually have videos of them being called “f****t” and “n****r” by a group of men for the better part of an hour? 

Ironic since Mr. Phillips is being investigated for participating in stolen valor.

More fucking horseshit.

Phillips did not “enter the space between them” - he explicitly said on CBS News that he walked into the high school group to prevent them from harassing the poor innocent black protesters. The fact that those black protesters were using vile, homophobic, racist language is downplayed by you,…

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…

I’m not gonna put them on Breitbart level, but this post, which is ultimately “please ignore everything that happened because this is the story I want to tell and I won’t let reality change that” is a really bad look. It’s legitimately delusional.

All the mainstream news outlets, including the left-leaning ones, have walked back their initial reports in light of the longer video.

I saw a dick of an old indian dude hammering his “sacred drum” nearly in the face of a smug white dick, while some black dicks shouted some crap in the background.

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?

No clue why this is on Deadspin, but okay...

This is Laura’s attempt at gaslighting, pure and simple. The extended video shows that Phillips lied repeatedly in his version of events. The kids were minding their own business when the Black Israelites started harassing them. They started chanting to drown it out. Phillips saw the interaction, MISTAKENLY ASSUMED…

“you will see what you want to see here, if you are determined to do so”
