I am personally aware they are not literally Jewish

I just want to know what you mean since it doesn't really apply to anything that's been said on the matter.

Nathan Phillips approached their group brah. It was shown pretty clearly in the livestream video.

but the article paints the reason for the situation to be confusion caused by BH

where it seems kinda obvious these kids were twats to the native... because they're twats

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.
