The only hats most of these kids wore were MAGA and CovCath. No Hillary hats, no Obama hats, no MLK hats, no hats endorsing any message of tolerance or racial or social unity.

So this wasn't about one kid. This is a culture. Please don't try to normalize it.

to make national news out of spoiled rich boys. Spoiled rich boys aren't national news, and that confrontation shouldn't have been either, when you consider it started with those idiotic Black Hebrews taunting them (and the indigenous people as well).

Crap like this is going to make some even fair-minded people think "maybe Trump has a point about fake news."

it must have seemed like an asylum to an observer. You can't really be shocked by anything that happens in an asylum.

One person was taping the group of young men. She had no way of knowing that another person from BI group had been taping for over an hour. She began taping when the behavior got weird.

It's nothing new, news stations have been doing the whole 'this product is killing our kids and is probably in your house right now! Tune in at 11' crap forever.

Fox news took it to a whole new level and made selective editing for bias mainstream. Now they are all doing it to try to shock and get ratings. Ratings makes money, always follow the money.
