Over the last 72 hours, I’ve been asking myself a simple question: What would happen if a group of Black Israelites had spent an hour taunting my son’s high-school football team? How would they have reacted if a Native American elder had walked into their midst – apparently not saying anything intelligible to them, but rather banging a drum and chanting inches from one kid’s face. Would they have thought that was an effort at “peacemaking,” or just more taunting? What would they have said if some of the people walking with that elder had yelled insults at them?
I ask those questions, but I’m pretty sure I know the answer. The boys wouldn’t have reacted all that differently from the kids at Covington Catholic. They would have sung different songs, they would have chanted different chants, and maybe one or two of the kids would have lofted an obscene gesture in the direction of the Black Israelites. In other words, they would have been kids, and barring some sort of overt criminal act, the blame for any tension that followed should rest with the adults who behaved so aggressively and strangely [snip].
But this is America in 2019, and it’s full of rage and hate. And parents of young men know that hostile people would instead want to destroy your child’s life. They would want to destroy your own livelihood. They would wish violence on him and you. They would try to destroy your school, and they would mock your faith. And then, even when their rage is proven to be unfounded, they would spend days hunting through your background and your school’s history to try to find some reason to hate you anyway.

After the NEW YORK abortion law, I'm thinking that also.
National Review jumped on the antiCovington band wagon and trashed the kid along with the rabid left. Only to slither back and issue a lame apology and no discipline to the editor who posted the slime. Now they are pontificating about how innocent the boys are. Kinda late to the party.
Suds Recon?
Sometimes they’re hiding behind the vegetables.
“Still calling this leftist loser a “Native American Elder” are we?”
He went from Vietnam Recon Ranger to Freon Ranger.
David French was Bill Kristol’s first choice for Presidential candidate. Had to settle for Egg McMuffin.
NRO’s Frenchie, the big bad “principled” anti-Trump. Looks like he is with the Trumpers now.... at least on the Indian reject vs Covington Catholic boys.
Being a leftist means never having to say you’re sorry.
We’re in a race war and most people on the right don’t know it. They think they can reason with or appease these maniacs.

At any time the leftists and their MSM propaganda arm will decide to push some buttons and they won’t be Covington Christian teenagers as the victims.
What if a normal, non Christian but pro MAGA group were taunted and provoked? Then on come the CNN video scenes as they have had enough and fight back. The “fight back” scenes will be portrayed at the first second of the scene, deliberately.
Then “ban on MAGA hats and shirts upheld by Hawaii judge. May go to higher court say conservatives.” and “I think all of us here on the View today agree that confiscation of guns is the only way to stop this right wing violence.—Applause by audience....”
No shot has been fired as return fire despite the Scalise shooting and many more.
That includes so many Antifa and other confrontations and beatings of innocent Trump supporters since 2016.
By the way, although I totally disagree with his 1960s leftist views, read The Armies of the Night and pretend all through it that it was about us on the right. An agent provocateur tries to get Norman Mailer to have a fistfight so Mailer will go to jail and the phony guy will quickly be let go (their Gov’t agent). Police and Pentagon guards try to push demonstrators to fight them. Leaflets & signs set up by what we call trolls today. Pretend the book was about Govt crackdown on conservatives. Coming soon.
They will blame us all no matter how innocent we are now.
A bloody model severed head of Trump,Madonna’s dreaming of blowing up the occupied White House and the Robert DeNiro and late night “comic” threats are all considered acceptable.
The Left pushes violence——not us.
It's a culture war. Plenty of blacks are on our side.
Exactly. Suppose they HAD been rude to a Native American elder. So what? Would it be worth death threats and destroying their lives? Are they not kids, while the Native American man is an adult? The fact that the video proves the kids innocent makes this even more infuriating.
And why do the “Black Israelite” guys get a total pass? They are the worst people in the whole scenario, calling the kids “crackers,” “f*ggots,” etc. What other race would be expected to put up with that? Somehow it’s okay for blacks to call white kids vile names, and it’s okay for Native Americans to rudely and disrespectfully bang drums in a white kid’s face and tell him he “stole their land” and “go back to Europe,” but if the white kid smiles, it’s an outrage? What if he’d lashed out in anger? I wouldn’t have blamed him. Reverse the races, and nobody would blame a nonwhite for acting out in the face of such hatred, rudeness, and insults.
I’m so sick of this crap. How much longer are we going to put up with this? This is how white kids are treated now, with whites barely the majority. What do you we think it’s going to be like for our kids and grandkids when they are an actual minority in this country?
By not accepting the possibility of violence, you will get eaten by the lions released into the arena.
The time is very near to either kill or be killed.
The time for the kumbaya nonsense is long gone
It’s ok to be politically rude.
It’s ok to be offensive.
Leftist are an offense to me by just being. Every damn one is offensive to me
“Still calling this leftist loser a “Native American Elder” are we?”
I’ll bet that native Americans regard this loser as highly as they regard Fauxahantis.
Good point. One problem is that the Media covers for them. They use “censorship by omission”, as I call it. They don’t report so much about what the Dems do because they know it would not go over well.
If we had an honest media, the Dems would be out of business.
The high up Dems of today should be considered no less dangerous than Hitler or Stalin. Anyone who doesn’t believe that they would haul many of us off to camps, is naïve.
Brennan, Holder, Lynch, Jarrett, et al, would gladly administer the camps.
IMO
Love the “Freon Ranger”
Dangerous job (and heroic) saving the ozone.
Democrats, don’t listen to GrayFox!
Botox Nancy is the BEST Speaker you’ve ever had, and better than she ever was!
(”GrayFox, what are you trying to do to us, here?”- sotto voce) :)
The House controls its own chamber, which is as it should be.
You are advocating a coup, and it may very well come to that. I’m not quite there yet.
Lawsuit concerns.
Do it at Senate or white house.
Heckuva reply-post. Thought I was reading one of the national pundits.
I am mystified by these folks (because to understand their insane behaviors and words toward the Covington kids, you would have to be able to think insanely). How is it possible to run to the defense of the thugs we have seen from Trayvon to the “Gentle Giant shoplifter and assailant” and call for assaults and murders of a group of kids waiting for a bus and—okay, I concede, committing the Deplorable Catholic sin of—smiling and eventually turning the opposite cheeks and walking away?
Looney Toons like Recon Ranger Rick have now been emboldened. The next incident sparked by them may well meet with a defensive act (imagine one of those kids walking up to Recon Ranger Rick and clapping in his face as closely as that drum and weapon-like drumstick was being used). I, an elder of the Deplorable Tribe, would have sent it like a Frisbee into the reflecting basin in front of the monument.
I fully agree that the long game is destined to win. But I see that the short-gamers, eager to spark confrontations my incite violence (as they already have in the case of the Covington teens).
