What's outraging you today?

Not outraging me but Liberal Twitter is up in arms about some kids from Covington Catholic "taunting" a native American in DC.  Pretty funny to see people calling for the death penalty for a high school kid because he was standing there smirking.

Not really outraging me but still something I hear about sometimes and it baffles me. My coworker and I work night shift. She was telling me the other day how her boyfriend, who is also the father of her 2 year old daughter doesn't like being around the little girl for more than a few hours at a time. My coworker will get off work around 0730am, go home and wait for the girl to wake up, feed her, then she gets to lay down for a few hours before her boyfriend will want her to wake up and resume taking care of the daughter. Can't believe how disinterested (and inconsiderate to their spouses) some people can be with their kids. Maybe the boyfriend is secretly Tiernan. 

 

I can't stand people like that.

Agree.  I find it pathetic and disgusting.

Holding someone accountable for their ignorant, awful, asshole behavior is not ruining their life. 

I had my bratty moments when I was a teen, but I never taunted or threatened anyone and I was definitely not a racist little fuck.

Trying to get the kid's college acceptance rejected by bombarding his future college is trying to ruin his life.  Also you might want to note that theythey the wrong kid and so they are trying to ruin a kid's life for something someone else did.  But it's all being done in the name of being "woke" so I'm sure that's fine with you.

That kid had a very punchable face. 

The Native American wrote that he wanted the school and parents to be made aware of their actions for them to deal with it.  

And I am "outraging today" about what those kids did. It doesn't matter that they are wearing MAGA hats or who is president and "condoning it". It's bad behavior that needs to be corrected. 

In the meantime, apparently others have picked up the ball and are making noise about some of those kids and their future plans. (and I would not do that..... I would want the school and parents to handle it)

That's what I noticed more than anything else about that video. I didn't even really care what he was doing; I just wanted to see him get crushed by a fist just from looking at him.

I honestly couldn't watch that stupid smirk for more than about 30 seconds, so I didn't make it to the end of the video.

And, again, most people who wear MAGA crap are doing so to offend people and provoke reactions.  So that gives you a good idea that this highschool contains a lot of a*holes who will become fine Frat pricks in college.

You have to have espn+ to watch the ufc on espn tonight? Lol k, fuck espn.

Well... there is footage out now that the man walked up to the kids and then stood in front of that one kid while banging his drum. He walked up to them and stood there. In the meantime everybody is cutting on the kids when they didn't go up to this guy like the original video made it out to be.

Good job!

I know I have fans in Paris Hills, Ky. If you know this little shit, punch him in the nuts and send me the video

There's adults trying to get people to be violent towards this kid, they're calling for the kid to be doxxed, trying to ruin his chances of going to college, trying to get him expelled from his school.

Let's talk about "liberalism".

I've heard reports that the Native American got involved to keep the MAGA kids from African-American protesters, so who knows.

Diocese released a good statement condemning these acts and sounds like the kids are likely to be expelled, assuming we don't hear something very different about what happened.

Go to the 1:39 mark of this video.  Tell me who was in the wrong.

I don't know if anything could be considered "wrong". Nothing happened except the guy went up to this kid, banging his drum pretty much in his face and the kid stood there smiling back at him. That's it. Neither one raised a hand to the other, no violence. 

The kid handled it better than most adults are handling it.
