I saw the video of a Native American drummer being “surrounded” by a group of smiling teens. I did not hear any taunts or see any attacks or violence directed at him. Yet this is being portrayed as some sort of assault.
AIM left-wing radicals looking for coverage, ignore.
What a ridiculous nothingburger. The kids are smiling or being goofy, or lightly teasing him. They’re very young, and if anything immature. But this guy approached them to get in their faces, he’s a leftist and he’s making a big drama for nothing.
Roving gangs of MAGA teens looking to start trouble with innocent old people.
...insert eye-roll here...
Come on Grayboots, tell me how I can read the article.........
I’m not convinced that Conservative kids are interested in putting down Native Americans, but it sure fits right into the Washington Post’s narrative on Trump being racist and his followers just doing what he wants.
Cough...
We’re not hearing the whole or accurate story here > IMO.
“Mostly white”. So, diverse?
Old dude sounds too Marxist.
I’m calling Pretendian, just like Ward Churchill or Elizabeth Warren.
We have to put up w antifa, black lives matter, assassins at baseball practice and neighbors who physically assault us while working in our lawn. But one white kid with a hat and a SMIRK and all hell breaks loose
Except broader video shows the kids in place and the Elder moving into their space.
Most of the kids were enjoying it, the one smirking kid walked up and invaded the drummer’s space.
Say what you want, if some little shit gets up in my face like that, I’ll break his nose.
Tell that to your grandkids.
He pushed his way into the boys crowd in a harassing manner IMO. The young boy in front would not move to allow him to get any closer to the rest.
“It was getting ugly, and I was thinking: ‘I’ve got to find myself an exit out of this situation and finish my song at the Lincoln Memorial,’” Mr. Phillips told The Post. “I started going that way, and that guy in the hat stood in my way and we were at an impasse. He just blocked my way and wouldn’t allow me to retreat.”
So going forward into a crowd of people is a "retreat" now. Only in the mind of the left wing activist who sees a chance to go after pro-life conservative kids.
I should have known it was a media ‘set up’ of fake news to make MAGA group look bad. You only have to see a few seconds more of the before footage to see that.
The drummer approaching into the young boys (encroaching). And getting right up into a few inches of one of the boys beating the drum right into his face. The boy didn’t run away. And just smiled. So now he the young boy is labeled everything evil.
And naturally a full media was right on the scene before hand and following the whole encounter. Selectively posting only part of it. And like all of the media fake news, they knew full well what was going on. And reporting a ‘story’ to support their agenda only.
Lying injun
Fake News According to this later posting which has links disputing the event

WP bullshit and corrupted news. From the longer video, I couldn’t see anyone “surrounding” the drummer who marched up into the face of the tall kid who stood there without grinning or making faces, etc.
Accurate and honest NEWS - an alien concept to the Wash. Post.
