This person, linds, goes on to have a couple follow up tweets regarding the video. This in no way absolves the Black Israelites from their disgusting rhetoric that kicked off the whole thing. It's just a different perspective of whether these young men were just casually minding their own business while on the DC Mall marching for life. I disagree, I feel the video adds nothing to the conversation. 1) It's difficult to determine if its the same group. 2) The video only shows the young women walking away- perhaps they said nothing as they passed, perhaps they mocked Trump.

I'm sure if there was an entire different group of teenage boys wearing MAGA hats on the DC Mall at the same time as the Covington Catholic teenage boys were there, we would have heard about it by now.. You're right about the second part. It only shows them walking away and we don't know anything leading up to the video. The reaction of the female in the video leads me to stand by my initial thoughts. Link to comment

Just seems that we consider anyone with a camera a reputable source. Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It's not that teenage boys shouldn't be responsible for their actions, it's that teenage boys will always do something stupid and obnoxious. I say this as a former teenage boy. 2 1 Link to comment

To be honest, I do not know the attendance or demographics for the event, but a pro-lifer wearing a MAGA hat shouldn't raise too many eyebrows. True, the women were disgusted. Although I would argue that many people (especially on social media) treat others of differing political opinions with extreme contempt and hostility. Reactions are often not proportionate to the actual or perceived wrongdoings. These partial video clips are useless for establishing facts, their posters only seem interested in viewership and bolstering their own beliefs. 1 Link to comment

Well I guess I have no time to learn how to be computer savvy then because Im so busy doing more important things. I guess I should clarify, I didn't mean Waldo has no life. I meant the person who sifted through 5 years worth of tweets to find that. I know it just takes a quick google search now that its out there, but Im not sure of anyway to search someone's twitter for racist tweets in seconds. Link to comment
