Just think about it....a hat! People have mental issues.
There is a good deal of irony with catholic high school students that supposedly have high moral standards wearing a Trump hat, particularly at a pro-life rally.

Yep! They don’t even know what they are commenting on at this point.

I give major kudos to those who admitted jumping to conclusions and seeing the truth. That seems to be pretty rare in this forum.

Are you suggesting that they can't have high moral standards on account of being pro-life conservatives?

Really?

I think "more than a smile" was exactly the kind of reaction the guy was looking for. Can you imagine if the kid had shoved the old man out of the way? We see what the uproar was for him just standing his ground. Had he shoved the guy out of the way or even made incidental contact with the guy there'd probably be lefties burning his school down by now. Heck if he had even verbally confronted the guy things probably would have exploded. Not only should that kid not be condemned, he should be commended. He kept things from escalating by being the "adult in the room".

How would you feel if you were standing at the Lincoln memorial and someone got in your face and all you did was stand there and smile and you wound up getting death threats??
The school itself did not shut down over this, some local schools are closed due to extreme cold weather, but its definitely not related to this incident, the school did shut down their social media accounts, Is that what you meant?


The NA was NOT being aggressive, in the longer video, anyone can see he was trying to step in to diffuse a tense situation that was growing, the drumming and chanting were prayers.


Im so sick of hearing that kid just stood there smiling, he had pure hatred and condescension on his face, thankfully many people recognized this for what it was, and were not duped by his legal statement. lol

Guilty of wearing red hats and white skin.Period
Lets pretend for a minute that the kids mocked drummer....Ok, still not death threat/top story outrage news.
Now lets go back to kids being verbally abused by adults with homophobic/ racist slurs..... and an old activist walks up to one and bangs his drum inches from ones face.

The biggest clue as to what lies in your heart is that you have zero criticism for the adult attendees but wish instead to double down on your efforts to paint these kids with a ugly brush.
It’s all part of a pattern of disrespectful behavior.
This is reported to have occurred right before the confrontation.
It says to me that the kids were already worked up and we all know what adrenaline does, particularly in young people.


Back in the day, a pack of youths spewing obscenities at women might have been considered “wilding.”
Now, it’s apparently just a normal weekend.

False. The school indeed DID shut down today due to security reasons.

Police cruisers blocked the entrances today and additional police cars circled the building. There of been multiple death threats against the students.

From what I read on CNN - the kids are blameless.

The group of demonstrators "Hebrew Israelites" initiated the entire encounter - the name calling, shouting gross and baseless profanity - and the in-your-face staredown,

For the record, I despise Trump whom I consider to be a blight on the country.

But the kids are not to blame, here. They were attacked because of their MAGA hats. They said and did nothing to warrant the provocation.
Yet...……..no apology from the networks...…...
