This video sums it up. Must watch it for context.

The kid was an embarrassment to Catholic School kids and Catholics everywhere.
So says this Catholic ...
I can't believe one of the teachers told the kids to chant the school sports song, in response to the Hebrew Israelite guys' taunting. What the hell was he or she thinking? Sing the school fight song? Geezus Krist on a cracker ...From some stuff I've seen that catholic school is an embarrassment to catholic schools.

And even it thinks they were an embarrassment.
Those kids were punks and the tomahawk **** was racist. Nobody fails to know that mocking a Native chant while doing that to the chanter is. That's the only reason to do it: to say "haha, stupid Indian!" And nothing anyone else did somehow makes that behavior above criticism. It really is no different than defending the kids if they'd called the "black Israelites" n------. Two wrongs, yadda yadda.
But no, things are so polarized that 40% of America just has to make the kids completely innocent and the Native dude(s) (or the "black Israelites" or the "black muslims"), or "the liberal media" the real and only aggressors. Yet again, something that should have been a simple matter of agreeing that yes, that thing right there was *****y and then moving on has to turn into a giant argument, because so many people just have to defend defend defend.
It really is quite depressing. These patterns started well before Trump decided to play politician and will keep going long after.
The kid was a jerk. Even with the new video evidence brought forth. His behaviour is not appropriate for Catholic School. Now you can take that, or leave it, as you wish.My god it's 4pm on Monday when this story was already shown to be a fraud and you still want to dump on these kids who did nothing wrong?
These kids did ZERO wrong, what were they supposed to do?

Yeah shut it, this guy confronted them first, after they were already being shouted at by black supremacists, they were going along with this guy's song and drum, and usually people who act like this elder are fakes anyway, and in return you are justifying death threats, doxxing, and the whole like.
When I rock out to the music, especially Native American music, I always point, laugh, elbow a group of buddies, and make tomahawk chop signs at them. Because that's a how people rock out to Native American music in a not at all asshole racist fashion. And when I do that to rock out to their music, I'm perfectly on base and innocent -unimpeacheably so - because if I do that someone might anonymously claim on the internet that those i consider political enemies might doxx and kill me.

No. I watched the videos. No other wrongs, alleged or right, make this particular wrong defensible. This particular wrong is defended, but that was predictable. As were the people who would be defending it.
The kids were wrong.
Want to talk about someone else being in the wrong? Then don't do it in a way that dishonestly suggests it somehow excuses the kids' behavior.

So, I'm going to put you down for yes, commit physical violence, kick them out of school, which will be shut down by the government as per the former chair of your political party. pathetic.
Some dude talking isn't context for what in fact happened. Videos from different angles, preferably longer ones, are. And those don't add up to the defense you lot seem to think it is.
Those kids were wrong, just it would be wrong for a white person to call a black person a "n-----" because they felt (wrongly OR RIGHTLY) that the black person did something wrong to them first. Nobody fails to know what mimicking a native chant while doing a "tomahawk chop" at a Native who is chanting.
And nobody is scared of an old man beating a drum unless they are a character in a movie and the old man is Clint Eastwood.
Remember: two wrongs don't make a right. They may make a lack of standing, but context is important. That is, things that actually are part of context are important.
Now why would you conclude that announcing in advance that you will lie about what I said on the same page I said it and in reply to the quote in which I said it would *get* me?
Your position is partisan garbage. No matter what wrongs the media and "black Israelites" (or "black muslims") might have done, the kid's behavior and the rest of the kids' behavior was wrong, and some of them went with a directly racist bent.
I really don't understand why some people go to such lengths to attack anything that looks like a suggestion racism might have been involved on anyone's part in anything. I know that I am 0% likely to make a "tomahawk chop" at a Native while mocking his chant, or at all. So I'm not worried about some scenario where I think I've somehow innocently done it but got meanly called a racist. Why do you think some people might find it so important to argue that somehow, a racial attack is a reasonable response to anything?
Let's go more extreme:
IS it ok for a white man to call a black man a "n-----" if the black man has just punched the white man?
If so, why? Precisely why?

Liberals on sunday: Punch the racists! Their School's a hate factory! White Patriarchy! twitter mobs and death threats!
On Monday after being discredited: "Two wrongs don't make a right"
Skippy, save it, you people lied. End story. You don't get to moralize after your team lies.
Trump said it best, the fake news is the enemy of the people, they purposefully set up a fake story to distract attention from the march for life and these students were acceptable casaulties.
No, moralizing bro, your team wrong.
wearing MAGA hats seems to justify all sorts of lies

No idea.Perhaps it is what they knew. Curious now though...how does their fight song go?
