They were Catholic high school students who came to Washington on a field trip to rally at the March for Life.

He was a Native American veteran of the Vietnam War who was there to raise awareness at the Indigenous Peoples March.

They intersected on Friday in an unsettling encounter outside the Lincoln Memorial — a throng of cheering and jeering high school boys, predominantly white and wearing “Make America Great Again” gear, surrounding a Native American elder.

The episode was being investigated and the students could face punishment, up to and including expulsion, their school said in a statement on Saturday afternoon.

In video footage that was shared widely on social media, one boy, wearing the red hat that has become a signature of President Trump, stood directly in front of the elder, who stared impassively ahead while playing a ceremonial drum.

Some boys in the group wore clothing associated with Covington Catholic High School, an all-male college preparatory school in Park Hills, Ky., near Cincinnati.

The school had advertised that students would attend this year’s March for Life Rally, which took place in Washington on Friday. In a letter to parents, the trip was described as an opportunity for students to live out their faith and demonstrate in support of all life “born and unborn.”

In a statement, the Diocese of Covington and Covington Catholic High School condemned the behavior by the students and extended their “deepest apologies” to the elder, as well as to Native Americans in general.

“This behavior is opposed to the Church’s teachings on the dignity and respect of the human person,” the statement said.

Well that's all fine and good, but who taught these little shits that such racism was OK in the first place?

Their trumptard parents.

It's bad enough when you see political bumper stickers on cars, but at least you kind of have an excuse there since that shit is hard to take off.

When you wear a MAGA hat in public now, you woke up and went out the door intending to make a statement. When you dress your kids in one, knowing that it's likely to start a fight, you're 10 times the asshole.

Yeah. These kids should be punished and made an example of. I don't think the internet will disappoint in that regard.


I don't think expulsion is the answer though. Though they do need to be taught a lesson, I don't think that ruining any chance at getting at least a semi-decent education is a good answer.

The only good that would do is ensure a terribly shitty life, likely full of crime and jail time and a lot of pent up hostility that builds up and fucks his head up nice and good. 20 years later with all that hate inside him brewing he might just go kill a innocent native that wasn't guilty of anything other than having the same hue of the guy he did this to.




.....

I actually watched the video in the link and looked at the article before I posted what I wrote above. I'm a little bit surprised...

I think "Mob" is a bit overstated. I think a little shaming is in order for the kids and the parents of the children involved. Maybe some sensitivity course or something. Nothing more than that.

Except for that one kid who gave that evil looking "smarmy douche" smile while staring the old man down. You could almost see a miasma of hate coming off of him. If he's currently not getting mental health help, he should be after this. That kid is going to hurt somebody. Lucky for everyone that he didn't hurt anybody on that day. He's a ticking time bomb though.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I think I would evaluate whatever comes up on the basis of "who approached who first". There was an incident where a man watching a parade accused a parade marcher of assault, and yet you can clearly see the man watching the parade launch himself off the curb and into the parade so ...??

The barest of facts are:

Guy banging drum and singing (I did watch the whole video and Indian guy was walking through the crowd up the steps when several other kids had moved, but it WAS teen who blocked the way), teen stays up in guy's face with with his "I'm an asshole" face on for ten minutes, blocking guy's path instead of just walking away. No matter what was said when, and to whom, teen WAS being a dick. Someone walks up to you on steps you should move away and let them pass.

What I don't understand... is where the actual adults in charge were...and why they allowed this to continue. When the other groups started getting aggressive, why didn't they leave? What idiots were running this show?

In the end, both parties involved will have to deal with the fallout for years, if not decades.

Statement of Nick Sandmann, Covington Catholic High School junior, regarding incident at the Lincoln Memorial
Updated 10:27 PM ET, Sun January 20, 2019

Kaya Taitano was at Friday's Indigenous Peoples March in Washington, DC, and filmed this confrontation between a teen in a Make America Great Again hat who stood directly in front of a Native American elder, who chanting and beating a drum. Other teens were taunting him and shooting video in the distance. The elder was identified as Nathan Phillips of the Omaha Tribe. He's a Vietnam veteran.

(CNN)I am providing this factual account of what happened on Friday afternoon at the Lincoln Memorial to correct misinformation and outright lies being spread about my family and me.

I am the student in the video who was confronted by the Native American protestor. I arrived at the Lincoln Memorial at 4:30 p.m. I was told to be there by 5:30 p.m., when our busses were due to leave Washington for the trip back to Kentucky. We had been attending the March for Life rally, and then had split up into small groups to do sightseeing.

When we arrived, we noticed four African American protestors who were also on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I am not sure what they were protesting, and I did not interact with them. I did hear them direct derogatory insults at our school group.

The protestors said hateful things. They called us "racists," "bigots," "white crackers," "faggots," and "incest kids." They also taunted an African American student from my school by telling him that we would "harvest his organs." I have no idea what that insult means, but it was startling to hear.

Because we were being loudly attacked and taunted in public, a student in our group asked one of our teacher chaperones for permission to begin our school spirit chants to counter the hateful things that were being shouted at our group. The chants are commonly used at sporting events. They are all positive in nature and sound like what you would hear at any high school. Our chaperone gave us permission to use our school chants. We would not have done that without obtaining permission from the adults in charge of our group.

At no time did I hear any student chant anything other than the school spirit chants. I did not witness or hear any students chant "build that wall" or anything hateful or racist at any time. Assertions to the contrary are simply false. Our chants were loud because we wanted to drown out the hateful comments that were being shouted at us by the protestors.

After a few minutes of chanting, the Native American protestors, who I hadn't previously noticed, approached our group. The Native American protestors had drums and were accompanied by at least one person with a camera.

The protestor everyone has seen in the video began playing his drum as he waded into the crowd, which parted for him. I did not see anyone try to block his path. He locked eyes with me and approached me, coming within inches of my face. He played his drum the entire time he was in my face.

I never interacted with this protestor. I did not speak to him. I did not make any hand gestures or other aggressive moves. To be honest, I was startled and confused as to why he had approached me. We had already been yelled at by another group of protestors, and when the second group approached I was worried that a situation was getting out of control where adults were attempting to provoke teenagers.

I believed that by remaining motionless and calm, I was helping to diffuse the situation. I realized everyone had cameras and that perhaps a group of adults was trying to provoke a group of teenagers into a larger conflict. I said a silent prayer that the situation would not get out of hand.

During the period of the drumming, a member of the protestor's entourage began yelling at a fellow student that we "stole our land" and that we should "go back to Europe." I heard one of my fellow students begin to respond. I motioned to my classmate and tried to get him to stop engaging with the protestor, as I was still in the mindset that we needed to calm down tensions.

I never felt like I was blocking the Native American protestor. He did not make any attempt to go around me. It was clear to me that he had singled me out for a confrontation, although I am not sure why.

The engagement ended when one of our teachers told me the busses had arrived and it was time to go. I obeyed my teacher and simply walked to the busses. At that moment, I thought I had diffused the situation by remaining calm, and I was thankful nothing physical had occurred.

I never understood why either of the two groups of protestors were engaging with us, or exactly what they were protesting at the Lincoln Memorial. We were simply there to meet a bus, not become central players in a media spectacle. This is the first time in my life I've ever encountered any sort of public protest, let alone this kind of confrontation or demonstration.

I was not intentionally making faces at the protestor. I did smile at one point because I wanted him to know that I was not going to become angry, intimidated or be provoked into a larger confrontation. I am a faithful Christian and practicing Catholic, and I always try to live up to the ideals my faith teaches me -- to remain respectful of others, and to take no action that would lead to conflict or violence.

I harbor no ill will for this person. I respect this person's right to protest and engage in free speech activities, and I support his chanting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial any day of the week. I believe he should re-think his tactics of invading the personal space of others, but that is his choice to make.

I am being called every name in the book, including a racist, and I will not stand for this mob-like character assassination of my family's name. My parents were not on the trip, and I strive to represent my family in a respectful way in all public settings.
I have received physical and death threats via social media, as well as hateful insults. One person threatened to harm me at school, and one person claims to live in my neighborhood. My parents are receiving death and professional threats because of the social media mob that has formed over this issue.

I love my school, my teachers and my classmates. I work hard to achieve good grades and to participate in several extracurricular activities. I am mortified that so many people have come to believe something that did not happen -- that students from my school were chanting or acting in a racist fashion toward African Americans or Native Americans. I did not do that, do not have hateful feelings in my heart, and did not witness any of my classmates doing that.

I cannot speak for everyone, only for myself. But I can tell you my experience with Covington Catholic is that students are respectful of all races and cultures. We also support everyone's right to free speech.

I am not going to comment on the words or account of Mr. Phillips, as I don't know him and would not presume to know what is in his heart or mind. Nor am I going to comment further on the other protestors, as I don't know their hearts or minds, either.

I have read that Mr. Phillips is a veteran of the United States Marines. I thank him for his service and am grateful to anyone who puts on the uniform to defend our nation. If anyone has earned the right to speak freely, it is a U.S. Marine veteran.

I can only speak for myself and what I observed and felt at the time. But I would caution everyone passing judgement based on a few seconds of video to watch the longer video clips that are on the internet, as they show a much different story than is being portrayed by people with agendas.

I provided this account of events to the Diocese of Covington so they may know exactly what happened, and I stand ready and willing to cooperate with any investigation they are conducting.

It's just possible that the reporting is entirely wrong. Or at least partially wrong. And as we know, the media isn't big on accuracy, objectivity, completeness, or context.

People smile for all kinds of reasons. I used to smile when confronted; and I'm sure it looked totally insincere and maybe even provoked people to more anger. I don't do that anymore because I learned better.

This is a KID. He was SMILING. He didn't act out or become aggressive. How could he know that his smile looked like a smirk? Why do we expect mature, thoughtful behavior from a kid?

And did this Native American seriously believe that "drumming" will help calm people down, especially if they don't know WHY he's drumming? Why do we expect greater understanding from a kid than from a mature adult with a lot of experience under his belt? Does the kid deserve to have his life threatened?

THIS is from Kathy Griffin. You know ... the same one who held a bloody Trump-head as a joke.

I think you're all seriously over-reacting. Until I see something else, this was a misunderstanding. It wasn't a "terrible" misunderstanding because nobody got hurt. It could have been a learning moment for everyone.

But this oversized outrage, to the point of threats, has TURNED a small misunderstanding into a giant clusterfuck. Maybe we should ALL turn this into a learning moment.
