The Covington Catholic boys harrassed my friends and I before the incident with Nathan Phillips even happened. I'm tired of reading things saying they were provoked by anyone else other than their own egos and ignorance 🤦🏼?♀️

This video is short because we walked by and were surprised to be yelled at. I took my phone out to send it to my friends back home for a laugh. I simply could not ignore the media saying they were provoked so I posted it 🤷🏼?♀️

7. where on God's green earth were the chaperones

I went to a godless public school and when we went to New York City we weren't able to just wander around without adult supervision and run amok. I am simply amazed that these students were permitted to wander DC alone for apparently hours at a time. Teenage boys, especially in large groups, tend to be self centered jerks if they are permitted to be. These kids take it to an even worse level to be sure, but virtually any group of teenage boys let to wander in packs for hours are going to do things they shouldn't be doing.

or is the Priest on the video? I know the student claimed the chaperones were there but I saw no one else claiming that. Incidentally if he was there, that is worse.

again, this makes it worse not better unless he was actively trying to stop the students from engaging in the behavior.

This is so wrong.

They are blaming it all on the black group.
