    I'm surprised Elizabeth Warren hasn't made a statement defending her people.

    I'm referring to the lily white Catholic kids, of course.

      Here is what appears to be the one and only official statement from the kid and his family, via their attorney.

        Interesting. Based on everything we've seen and heard, that sounds like as true an account of the situation as we're likely to hear. I take back a comment I made earlier in the thread based on giving carpe's source the benefit of the doubt that it was at least somewhat accurate (I should have known better): Now I am defending this kid and his behavior. rogue is right, it wasn't a look of defiance but confusion and an attempt to look pleasant and non-threatening in a tense situation.

        In the end, we have a bunch of liberals ganging up on an innocent high school student who made the best of a bad situation, all in their desperate attempt to "get" Trump. I hope you guys are proud of yourselves.

          And a further perspective emerges.

          BTW - I did finally get a chance to listen to the video (rebooting my machine did the trick) and I find that it aligns with this summary of events.
          The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

            I like how the liberal media keeps trying to push the narrative that this was "complicated". What they really mean is they jumped to a wrong conclusion based on incomplete facts and their giddy desire to stick it to Trump because the kid happened to be wearing a MAGA cap.

              Well, it seems this fake news story is out there and in the public consciousness. A speaker at a local MLK event made an oblique reference to this incident with the phrase "beating the drum in the face of intolerance and racism".

                You disgust me, all of you people. You are vile beyond measure. Those kids from that school are better than all of you. And you owe them a massive apology.

                  This demonstrates, yet again, that if it weren't for the "extreme right wing media", the MSM would have gotten away with this. They simply cannot be trusted to tell the truth because of their own shameless liberal agenda.
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    To what degree do you want to conclude generally based on a particular example? Or you have perhaps got other examples you would like to share?

                      When one says "yet again", it would indicate this is not a singular event.

                        I think this would be an interesting thread right up Mountain Man's alley, if he's up to it....

                          We've had two in the past week: this story, and the BuzzFeed debacle.

                            At the very least, yes.

                              Which is why my post included the text: "Or you have perhaps got other examples you would like to share?" which you conveniently left out. And then you have moved on and I am yet to see you provide examples.
