posted by SpockSo Indian guy isnt a vet?
He was in the military, but joined after Vietnam occupation ended and was never deployed. He tried to use the term Vietnam era at some times, but he’s essentially just a lying activist.
The media is so desperate to tie everything to trump and shame people for supporting him, that they couldn't even vet Phillips. They gave him a media tour, before they realized he wasn't even a Vietnam vet. Shout out to the guy being a piece of shit and not once correcting the media btw. Phillips served the marines for 4 years and went AWOL 3 times. He was discharged as a private. He and his group the following day (from the cav cath incident) allegedly tried to disrupt a catholic mass at the basilica national shrine, by trying to enter the basilica and bang his drum. The dude is a complete wack job activist and the media should be completely embarrassed (among many other reasons) they gave him the him a platform and not once legitimately questioned him or try to vet him. Special shout out to gblock falling for it. I am not surprised.
Also, I am not sure if this was mentioned, but instead of admitting they are wrong after watching video evidence, the media double downed by posting a pic from 2012 (these kids weren't even in HS at this time) of a Cov Cath bball game where kids painted themselves in all black for a blackout game. They tried to tie the kids to a racist past (again, this was from 2012), because they were in black face. Anyone who has follows sports knows how fucking stupid that claim is.

I saw yet something else saying they harassed a young woman the same day as the incident with Philips.
Look, the kid looked smug, and I don't know that their thoughts and intentions were nearly as pure as they claimed, but outlets are going WAY too hard to smear a bunch of kids who aren't even adults yet. I'm not saying you dismiss anything if it's wrong, but let's try to remember why we don't view kids under 18 as adults.

One of the more sickening displays by the media and the left; they literally have no shame. I cannot imagine how they can be trusted to ever again report anything objectively. They have simply destroyed their profession.

Lol even up until last night the rep from Minnesota, Iihan Omar who is already sketch, was posting fake news that the boys were yelling rape is ok and demeaning the black hebrews (who were the fuck tards instigating the whole thing). So not only is the media complicit, but sitting members of the left, after video evidence, continue to blatantly lie.
Couldn’t be more disinterested in that news story.
What outraged me last night is I turned to the Serena Williams match when she was up 5-1 in the final set. She was serving for the win, and her foot went over the line and they called a foot fault and she had to re-serve. The announcer immediately said “oh wow, they called that on match point?” I immediately thought “well were they supposed to not fucking call it at all?! She clearly stepped over the line?!”
then after the game, the story was how you could call that penalty all the time, yet they do it when it hurt Serena the most because they don’t want her to win. Lol

I mean one of them literally yelled, "it's not rape if you enjoy it", which is pretty gross.
The whole thing is a shitshow and I'll be happy when it's out of the news.

Can you provide video evidence of that? I haven't seen it.

Nobody is allowed to criticize or cross Serena ever, especially now that she is a mother.
To add to this post, I saw the end of one of her earlier round matches where the announcers were gushing over Serena being a "class act/good sport," because she came over to her crying opponent after defeating her to let her know she was amazing. Am I the only one that is old enough to remember Serena acting like a cry baby bitch this past September, when she lost the US Open and then blamed her skin color on people criticizing her behavior? It's one thing to be a class act when you win, but your true colors show in adversity and defeat.
This whole kid on a field trip thing is is totally out of control so I'll add Shit to the bucket
The maga hat hat nothing to do with it
The black radicals that were there before had nothing to do with it. It certainly wasn't justification for the kid to act like an "asshat"
The kid had no business getting up in that guy's face.
Where is the outrage that these kids were raised in Catholic school And didn't know better than to act like that. At least if they went to public school they would know that shit like that could get you punched stabbed or. shot
If I acted like that and that guy back handed me, my dad would apologize to him, shake his hand and then kick my ass being disrespectful

A kid did say that, but all evidence I have seen is he is not a student of CovCath. And, if you watch the video, the two kids directly beside him give the kid a nasty look after he says it. I don't know if those kids do go to CovCath, but I believe one was wearing a MAGA hat.

Found another person who didn't watch the videos.

A person did. Not one of those kids. And she knows this. Blatant lies from a congressional representative to smear kids is nuts.

smh. The black radicals DID instigate the whole thing, the Indian guy DID get in the face of the boy, not the other way around. And how the hell do you expect more out of immature dumbass kids than grown ass adults???

It's incredible, really.
Golden State looks invincible, even without Cousins.

The BHI group is actually turning into a bit of a menace in Akron. I don't run into it too much, but it seems like over half the kids at our church have been pressured pretty vigorously to align themselves with the group and treated pretty poorly if they refrain from doing so. It's becoming what amounts to a religious gang, short of killings (to my knowledge, anyway).

Mind numbing.
Ya'll can't tell that DA is shit posting? He even said that's what he was doing...
posted by justincredibleIt's incredible, really.
People just REALLY want to confirm their own biases. Literally DA posted was false, but he also had to get in his knock on Catholics. I am not even close to being religious, but it is pretty apparent what he was trying to do with that trash post.

That young blond girl (I'm thinking this is who you are referring to) has since been exposed as an activist. If you look up her twitter archive, you'll find some of the most racist and bigoted tweets you'll find.
If you watch the video, the very first 1/2 second she looks like she just finished shouting to the small group of guys behind her. What actually happened here because that's all the video shows, along with her saying something like "so tired of this".

Man, and weren't you the one who was giving me the "don't feed the trolls" talk about QQ a week or two ago? Not a good look to fall into the trap this quickly afterward!

Hand up, I see it now. You never know with DA, but I will keep my posts up and he can make fun of me if he was actually shit posting.

That's probably it. I didn't look into it too hard. At this point, I don't care. All this getting offended just seems too exhausting for my taste.

Both sides have realized that playing the "victim/I'm offended!" card is a great way to cause any actual discourse to stop happening. This incident is just the latest "OOH, SHINY!!!" moment to distract people from actual issues because, regardless of how frivolous it was, it somehow became front-n-center news for multiple days. In a way, it's sort of entertaining how reality has gradually transformed into an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
