Nah I'm with Nintex on this one. This shit has been twisted to fit a specific narrative and the kid who just stood there awkwardly (a dude banging on a drum walked up to him ffs) is getting doxxed and threatened. The black guys they were arguing with were the crazy Black Israelites. The whole situation is fucked.

Some bored kids at an anti-abortion rally jumping to the beat of the drum and chant and others not moving aside with people wandering about filming these epic scenes with their phones.

WOW I'm legit shook that something as terrible as this happened in 2019


I don't think anyone is at fault here really. Just some protesting and counter protesting. One group trying to chant louder than the other and a bunch of random crazies joining in on the fun.

They swarmed him like immediately... He went up to them with the drums but that's clearly a move to break up the back and forth.

Yeah the people with phones did. Even in the original video of the staring contest you can see some sort of selfie stick contraption.

Here's a fun #lifehack to try at home.

Look for a group of 30 - 50 people. Beat a drum and walk towards the center of the group.
Once you reach the center... BOOM you are suddenly surrounded by people!

With a little luck some people might start filming with their phones too!

Yes. Many have tried without drums and have not been able to tell the tale.

WOW, this eye witness account of the scene sounds intense. Mandark is right I have to sit down.
Quote
Although he feared a mob mentality that could turn ugly, Frejo said he was at peace singing among the scorn and he briefly felt something special happen as they repeatedly sang the tune.

“They went from mocking us and laughing at us to singing with us. I heard it three times,” Frejo said. “That spirit moved through us, that drum, and it slowly started to move through some of those youths.”

Eventually a calm fell over the group of students and they broke up and walked away.

"He consumed TV like the late Roger Ebert must have watched movies. ... He commented on the sets, the graphics, the wardrobe choices, the lighting, and just about every other visual component of a broadcast. Sure, he liked to hear pundits saying nice things about him or White House officials defending him from attacks, but everything came back to how does it look?

With that in mind, the most Trumpian tactic the comms team employed was arguing with TV networks about the 'chyrons,' the words displayed at the bottom of the screen that act as headlines for whatever the commentators are discussing.

'People watch TV on mute,' the President told me, 'so it’s those words, those sometimes beautiful, sometimes nasty little words that matter.' ...

When the President would deliver a speech somewhere outside of D.C., the research team would take screenshots of all the chyrons that aired while he was speaking. Then, adding those images to headlines and tweets from influential reporters and pundits, they would race to print out a packet before Trump made it back to the White House.

The goal was for Sarah or Hope or me — or whoever hadn’t traveled with him — to meet him on the ground floor of the residence and hand him the packet to review mere moments after Marine One landed on the South Lawn."
Quote
"'The graphics on Fox are the absolute worst — are you looking at this?' he said at one point. 'CNN and MSNBC are both so much better. I hate to say it — honestly, I really hate to say it — but MSNBC has the best graphics. Fox is the best — they have the best talent. I mean, look at the rest of these people. They can’t believe what’s happening right now. But Fox’s graphics are terrible. They’ve got to do something about it.'"

If you put the puzzle together it seems that Trump's goal was to have a 24/7 television show for which he delivers the plot lines, commentary and characters.

You can judge for yourself. Here is video footage of the full incident, from the perspective of the black nationalists. Phillips enters the picture around the 1:12 mark, but if you skip to that part, you miss an hour of the Black Hebrew Israelites hurling obscenities at the students. They call them crackers, feggits, and pedophiles. At the 1:20 mark (which comes after the Phillips incident) they call one of the few black students the n-word and tell him that his friends are going to murder him and steal his organs. At the 1:25 mark, they complain that "you give feggits rights," which prompted booing from the students. Throughout the video they threaten the kids with violence, and attempt to goad them into attacking first. The students resisted these taunts admirably: They laughed at the hecklers, and they perform a few of their school's sports cheers.

Tulsi is giving Schumer the green light to finally cave
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/20/gabbard-democrats-republicans-shutdown-1116066

Quote
Both Democrats and Republicans have “completely hardened their positions and are unwilling to come together and work out the differences,” she said, pointing out it’s not an isolated problem.

She said the problem is “an unwillingness to just say, 'Hey, here's my position. Here's yours. Let's figure out how we can work out the differences that we can, putting forward the best solution for the American people.'”

While recent public polling has pinned most of the blame for the shutdown on Trump and the GOP, that could shift if the public agrees with Pence that the White House's offer is a "good faith compromise" that Democrats refuse to consider.

It's like he took the dumbest #resistance criticism of Trump (Russian collusion hyperbole, equating Russia with communism in 2019), and throws it back at Bill Kristol, on the basis of... his dad Irving being a Trot in college a billion years ago?
