Crowd of young MAGA hatted morons harrass and ridicule native American vet...

[Jade Dragon]

Thanks, MAGA morons, for once again showing civilized society what kind of low class scum you really are.

Nasty, spoiled rotten little privileged bastards are reportedly from a private Catholic school in Kentucky.

Just sickening.

On a more positive note, expulsions could be following. I hope so.

Video Shows MAGA-Clad Teenagers Harassing, Mocking Native American Vietnam Vet.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...maga-hats.html



Shocking video that has quickly sparked outrage online shows how a group of teenagers wearing “Make America Great Again” hats mocked and harassed a Native American elder at the Indigenous Peoples March in Washington, D.C. on Friday. The videos posted online show how the teenagers surrounded and proceeded to ridicule Nathan Phillips as he sang the American Indian Movement Song at the Lincoln Memorial. In a particularly galling moment of the video, a boy stands right in front of Phillips with a smug grin plastered on his face while others behind him clap and jeer as they cheer him on. Phillips is a Native American elder of the Omaha tripe and a Vietnam veteran, according to Indian Country Today.



Eagle-eyed Twitter users quickly came to the conclusion that the teenagers are students from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky and demanded answers from the school. On Saturday afternoon, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington and Covington Catholic High issued a joint statement condemning the students and vowed to take action. “We condemn the actions of the Covington Catholic High School students towards Nathan Phillips specifically, and Native Americans in general, Jan. 18, after the March for Life, in Washington, D.C. We extend our deepest apologies to Mr. Phillips,” the statement reads. “This behavior is opposed to the Church’s teachings on the dignity and respect of the human person. The matter is being investigated and we will take appropriate action, up to and including expulsion.” The school’s website shows students and faculty members took part in the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C:, which also took place Friday.

A video of Phillips responding to the harassment shows the elder visibly distraught about the way he was treated by the teenagers. “I heard them saying ‘build that wall, build that wall,’ ” Phillips said while wiping away tears. “This is indigenous land, you’re not supposed to have walls here. We never did for a millennia. We never had a prison; we always took care of our elders, took care of our children, always provided for them, taught them right from wrong. I wish I could see that energy … put that energy to making this country really, really great.”

The journalist who first identified Phillips, Vincent Schilling, spoke to the Cincinnati Enquirer about the shocking scene. “As a Native American journalist, I find this to be one of the most egregious displays of naïve—I can’t even say naïve. It’s racism. It’s blatant racism,” Schilling, who is a member of the Mohawk tribe and also a veteran, said.

New Mexico Congresswoman Deb Haaland, who is Native American, condemned the students who mocked Phillips. “This Veteran put his life on the line for our country,” Haaland wrote on Twitter. “The students’ display of blatant hate, disrespect, and intolerance is a signal of how common decency has decayed under this administration. Heartbreaking.”

What smug little imps. Christian values really are on a downward spiral. Odd that what they insist is a Christian nation, seems to be the most damning black sheep. So many American Christians, are all just emptily giving face, and think attending church excuses them. The political version of it is a sick joke.

A virgin wearing a MAGA hat trying to ridicule or intimidate someone of a different race? Must be Saturday.

Not just FB but it's across social media platforms *and* in the regular media as well.

Future prospective employers should be able to read all about what kind of person he is.

But I guess as long as he stays in Kentucky, that will probably work in his favor though.

He will becum McConnell 's intern.

I'd hire him. You could pay him minimum wage for life and he still would never be able to find another job.

They're just kids emulating what they see the adults around them doing.
There are a lot of Republicans, and some of them are on this forum, who are xenophobes, racists - the type of degenerate deplorables who entitle threads "invaders from the south".

Trumpism has normalized xenophobia. And even the Republicans who aren't xenophobes usually stand by in silence as they bear witness to the bigotry and racial resentment permeating their own party. Thesse kids are just a reflection of Trumpism. The lions share of the blame goes to the adults normalizing bigotry within the MAGA movement

Ironic since you are rushing to judgment and condemnation based on a couple minutes of video with no clear context. I really don't know what started this incident but one of the students there said that the guy came up to them and started beating the drum at them and they really weren't sure what to do and started singing some song they regularly sang. Apparently these NA protestors per some were going around talking about America being stolen land. It is the danger of cellphone videos that never start until whatever happened is already happening--we don't see what led to the encounter or even what the encounter is. Someone proclaims this is what it is and people run to their bias.

Maybe instead of pointing fingers of shame at other ppl here, you might want to educate yourself about this march, which was planned long in advance, and what it was all about. If some punks in maggot hats are so intimidated and threatened by an elder with a hand drum, singing, maybe they should start packing.

You your defense of these protestors is that the went to DC looking to create drama and became innocent victims of drama? Quite pathetic especially considering you did not address a single thing I posted. You just couldn't resist the impulse to come in here being holier than thou and a rude bitch.

Oh okay then. "Rude bitch" equals I proved you wrong.

I'm not very good at being an Idiot Whisperer but here you go: The NAs went to DC to march in a march they planned months and months ago. We Americans often go to protests and marches in DC -- our capitol, she Idiot Whispered -- to bitch about stuff. You know, like those Right to (ignore women's) Life ppl have done for years. It's the American thing to do. The Young Tards in the maggot hats happened upon the parallel march and decided to harass them. Why? Who knows, probably a combination of bad parenting, lack of supervision, an easy target, etc. There is absolute NO FUCKING WAY an elder would dishonor his song, his heritage, his people, or himself by doing what you claim. If you've ever been to a single powwow or other NA event you would feel shame for even suggesting that. Seriously, WTF is wrong with you tonight? You're not usually this stupid.

Yeah, right.

It was all the old Indian Vietnam vet's fault.

He started it by "beating his drum at them".

At them?..... how do you beat a drum "at" someone?

And of course you believe the obnoxious little assholes who are actually the real "victims" here.

Because they were offended by the Indians telling the truth about their land being stolen from them.

How awful. No wonder they crowded around him and jeered and mocked him while chanting "Build the wall!!! Build the wall!!!"

They had every right to behave that way.
