who read their kids the riot act last night. I don't think every one of those kids had parents who would encourage that type of behavior. And a couple of them appeared very young, mimicking the older ones, unsure of how to behave at first but then joining in.

But was really baffling to see those videos. Some people excuse the behavior because some crazy self-called bigots were crudely insulting the kids, but that is no excuse. If anything, at least a few of the kids should have realized what Nathan was doing. Maybe some did. I don't know.

I might have chosen mocked or disrespected for the verb, but hey.

Send the young man that did the taunting down to Camp Lejeune for a few months of our standard Marine Corp boot training, and let me be the Drill Instructor. The young man might wish hell would be a better place.

At the very least, though, I think these kids should be required to do some serious volunteer work on the Omaha reservation.
