RE: "smirk-face". Some people's smiles just naturally come out as smirks. The person I think of as "smirk-face" is Adam Schiff. But a 16YO in an uncomfortable situation with an adult trying to smile and be nice might come off as smirky. If he committed a real crime, other than smiling at at an old man beating a drum in his face, he would be tried as a juvenile. Odd that nobody on the left is willing to give the kid the benefit of the doubt. Well, come to think of it, not that odd. But what I have seen of him in subsequent interviews makes me think he is a nice kid.

I have asked this before, with no response from anybody: if the kid was beating the drum in the face of a smiling native American, would everybody be mad at the smiler or at the drum beater?

What was the crime here? Was it the wearing of the MAGA hats?
