Here are the Covington Catholic boys "defusing" another situation



Fortunately, this woman and her friends apparently didn't think the harassment they endured from the good boys from CovCath gave them license to abuse other people.

They just walked away and kept going ...

But can you imagine if everyone they messed with that day decided to turn around and abuse other people the way did? Riots would have ensued.

People who record everything that they do, and are aware that others do so as well.

True Trump supporters.

The young woman in the video here, the old veteran in the other video, but they stayed way far away from the Black Hebrews for some reason.

which is why he stepped in the middle. Now they only approached them when they outnumbered them many times but they did approach.

I'm sure some UG grads can find some examples of poor behaviour on that campus.

I'm sure the CovCath defenders might claim these young women were provoking those boys somehow.

Similar to the blarney that the TikiTorch crowd in Charlottesville were being provoked and fearful for their safety.

I've heard it so many times before. Men -- even the ones who harass women -- truly don't know how often we have to hear it.

Sure sounds like it.

These guys sound EXACTLY like the guys who used to call me queerbait and beat me bloody in my own 99% affluent white high school.

On overnight field trips the supposed chaperones would drink and pursue their own sordid sexual affairs, the greater loner losers among them living vicariously through the misbehavior of their charges. I can easily imagine them buying red hats for "their" boys and masturbating alone in their room afterwards.

Quitting high school was one of the best most life-affirming decisions I've ever made.

The most notable alumni of my high school include mass murderers, dead porn stars, and Republican politicians. I don't think that's coincidence.

As a weird autistic spectrum kid, high school was a Lord of the Flies experience for me. I could have been one of the kids who suicided in various ways, like too many of my childhood and young adult friends.

What awful experiences! I don’t blame you for quitting that place. It probably saved your life.

by not dating them or whatever. They're just yelling things at her to diffuse the situation. Blessed be the peacekeepers. Those boys are the real victims here no matter what the leftists on Twitter show us.

It's quite plausible that some March for Life boys would harass anyone who looks like she's here for the Women's March, or is a woman, or is greatly outnumbered by a large group of them. I'm so sick of the excuses.

That must have a group of at least 8, if not 12. Where was the adult supervision to stop that kind of harassing behavior?
