It should be noted that the faux "recon ranger" and notorious provocateur Nathan Phillips told the Detroit Free Press shortly after his attempt to provoke the Covington students, that it was the kids who confronted the Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI) saying that "they were in the process of attacking these four black individuals" that the kids were "beasts" and:
"These young men were beastly and these old black individuals was their prey, and I stood in between them and so they needed their pounds of flesh and they were looking at me for that."
(He would repeat the claim that the BHI were the "prey" of the Covington students who he again charged were full of "hate and racism" during his interview with CNN where he falsely claimed to be a "Vietnam veteran")
Phillips proceeded to claim that the students had a "mob mentality" and that "It was racism. It was hatred. It was scary." He added that
"the looks in these young men's faces ... I mean, if you go back and look at the lynchings that was done (in America) ...and you'd see the faces on the people ... The glee and the hatred in their faces, that's what these faces looked like."
Of course we now know thanks to video evidence this was not even close to what happened. It is a Bizarro World rendition where everything is pretty much the exact opposite. Phillip's story has repeatedly kept changing after videos have surfaced revealing him to be a deliberate liar.Last edited by rogue06; 01-24-2019, 05:47 AM.

But let's suppose for a moment that he did smirk with the intent of being disrespectful. So what! He's a 16-year old kid! Does that somehow justify an adult approaching him and aggressively beating a drum inches from his face?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

There are some really thin skinned people in this world when a teenage kid exercising his first amendment writes and throwing a "smirk" becomes news-worthy. As a teacher, if I had a dollar for every time some teenager smirked at me, I wouldn't be a teacher anymore. This story was about nothing but tribalism, pure and simple."Down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,
Hear my cry, hear my shout,
Save me, save me"

I really hope all this idot crap sounded better in your head. "Progressives" must be really really screwed up people.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
