The other thing I would point out, is that the chief is supposed to be the adult in the room here. He is a grown man who walks up to a group of teens and does his best Will Ferrell cowbell impersonation in their face. He should have known better

An element that is bothersome to me is the narrative that all white kids who attend private schools are bad, thugs, rapists (saw Kavanaugh comparisons thrown out there on social media). This sort of line of thinking is dangerous. Imagine the outrage if the same sort of comments were made about a group of black students who attended Afrocentric High Achool in Columbus, OH (yes that is a real school).

Not all kids who attend CovCath is rich. My coworkers son goes there, and the combined household income at her house is no more than $150-160,000.

that's rich in Memphis.

Or he was distracting the mob from another disenfranchised population. I can promise you my children were never be this disrespectful to anyone. The whole disrespect just to the man’s age. I was just raised different. Obviously this teen has been raised to think they are better than others

Rich? According to the govt’s own measurement it is the low end of upper middle class. In reality it is the high end of middle class. My friend is a a paralegal and her husband is a personal trainer at a gym. These are working people.

So are you going the Mach route on this or you you just letting us know how much we should respect a grown man who approached a group of teenagers and invaded their personal space with a drum?

one of Memphis' nicest areas is Germantown...the average household income in Gtown is 130,000

What’s the Mach route? I’m calling Cernovich a liar. They defiantly surrounded the man and mocked him. If the truth is the Mach route we all should be on that road.

Another fake story, reminds me of this



When in reality

Native dude seemed upset that the high school kids were having more fun so he crossed the street and decided he needed some attention. Was it hateful? Probably not.

I would never call this the "Mach route". This approach is far from singular to you.

I would instead call it the "Trump route". You blurted out something offensive, unfair and provably wrong. Then, instead of manning up to your mistake, you doubled down on your criticism of the party that you wronged.

Congratulations, Mach, you are in some pretty sorry company.

The whole story from someone in Dublin who initially criticized the boys and then got the more complete story.


"...It is possible that the Catholic boys were complete asses. My initial judgment was that they certainly were that. You don’t treat a peaceful elderly person like this. Even if they thought he was wrong, those boys owed him respect. Yes, the old man approached them, but they could and should have handled him with respect. They come off as bullies.

But then I watched more clips, showing the greater context of the incident. It is not as simple as it has been portrayed. Below is a more complete video account of what happened. In it, one of the Catholic boys is overheard asking, “Does anybody know what he’s doing? Does anybody know what’s going on here.”

And, in it, one of the Indians with Phillips shouts: “White people, go back to Europe. This is not your land.” He curses the students with f-bombs (video is NSFW). He goes on: “You’re being a white man about it. That’s all you know how to do.”

You didn’t see that in the news reporting, did you?

Then, at the 4:40 mark, members of an insane black radical cult called the Black Hebrews (I remember them from my DC days) starts ranting at the boys about whites and sodomy, and says that “your president is a homosexual.” He makes fun of Christian civilization, saying: “You give faggots rights!”

Watch it all here:..."


"...Here’s something else: in 2015, this same Native American elder, Phillips, confronted college students wearing Indian garb at a college party, and claimed he was treated disrespectfully by them. So he said; no video exists. It appears that he was looking for a confrontation of some sort. If those college boys behaved that way, it was indeed wrong, and offensive. But Nathan Philips seems like a man who seeks out these opportunities for confrontation, and then to go to the media with them. Notice in the clip that went viral, Philips had a man with a camera following him as he approached the MAGA boys...."

The unhinged pathological route that ignores reality and magnifies the absurd.

A person with a normal, functioning conscience would at this point go out of his or her way to retract the false and unfair characterizations posted about these kids on a public forum.

This is gut check time for you, for Lazy Tom, and for a few others. What kind of people are you?

Well said.

The irony is as thick as a brick.....

I put the Cernovich and Tim Pool tweets back to back on purpose.

Notice how mach jumped straight to attacking the source (and not the facts) because it's Cernovich, despite the fact that bernie bro Tim Pool said the exact same thing. Tim probably agrees with the native standing rock protester politically, but he's one of the few, if not only left-leaning journalists out there that has no problem consistently calling out his side when they are the ones in the wrong.

The unedited video in the Dublin story paints a different picture the the MSM has painted.

All the videos proving that the kids didn't do anything wrong are being deleted, and videos from commentators spreading the truth are being flagged and taken down as "hate speech".

This is wild.

If this is true it is far more offensive and dangerous than anything these kids are accused of. This is 70’s USSR type crap happening here in our own country. Something the Maoist Chinese would do. Disgusting.
