Same bullshit we heard after Charlottesville where we assured that the Nazis and Company were oh-so peaceful and respectful and the only reason that guy ran over counter-protestors was because he was being threatened by them and feared for his life. ---

I’m sure these people marching around in white supremacist regalia were just misunderstood as to their intentions. :rolleyes: > [@asahi](#): > > They’re just growing some in-bred, defective, moon-shining, sister-fucking, shit-kicking fuckwads in Kentucky. McConnell territory, so not a surprise, really. If you’re going to do this, could you at least get the right stereotypes? These are private school kids from the suburbs. Think Brett Kavanaugh, not Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel. ---

And earlier in that video a bunch of them are doing disrespectful tomahawk chops. Basically a bunch of little shits. Unfortunately Dacien seems like the type to believe what he’s told to believe, so I doubt linking the video will help him any (though he should probably wonder why he’s being told to believe that those racist little shits weren’t actually harassing that Native American veteran despite the clear video evidence of them doing precisely that) ---

Statement from Covington Catholic: “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. 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. “We know this incident also has tainted the entire witness of the March for Life and express our most sincere apologies to all those who attended the March and all those who support the pro-life movement." So apparently the school recognizes that their student’s behavior was wrong. Apparently they have more moral backbone than certain posters to this thread. ---

Josh Marshall tweets: This video is the only one I’ve seen that captures the whole progression of events and who was involved. It’s almost two hours. But you see the argument/trash talking with btw the maga kids and the black Israelite group. Then you see when Nathan Phillips comes in etc, seemingly… 2/ to get between the two groups. [https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1086892602803347457](https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1086892602803347457) I suspect there will be more detailed stories later. My take is that smirk-kid needs to be filled in on what sort of behaviors can get you arrested for harassment and what sort of behaviors can cause you to lose your job. ---

This can’t have been the first time the Diocese has been made aware of problems with this school. ---
