What'd they do apart from lookin smug? Again, what are we blaming on who?

I agree that the counter-sensationalism is idiotic, but that's no reason to embrace the initial wave.

The kids were waiting for their bus and were engaged by the BHI who were using racial and homophobic epithets towards them. Phillips then approached their group. They didn't make contact with him, they didn't insult him, and the "smug" kid whose face Phillips (a 60 year old man) was banging his drum inches away from was more uncomfortable than anything else. The 2 hour livestream corroborates this.

There's a reason there's retractions and lawsuits emerging in the wake of this video evidence. The kids didn't do anything wrong other than act a bit rowdy and yell school slogans, but that's cause they're ****ing high schoolers.

Well they joined a March for Life and openly support a fascist which is pretty deplorable, but ja in this particular scenario it's stupid to put the blame for (?) on them.

That's completely untrue lol. They made way for him as he went into their crowd and he stayed even after they left. You're clearly still following (incorrect) day 1 "coverage".

I'm sure that kid was like, "why is this Mexican banging this drum in my face?"

[windsock]

You were clearly and actively supporting a falsified narrative, not just pointing out the article's bias.

Ja you're right, let's look at what the raw video has to say.

and it's a head scratcher for me to be completely honest

That is totally something Chula would say TBH. Just throw in the phrase 'frowny' and some spiteful comment about being picked on.
