The hour long video shows him and his class mates being douchebags for an hour with the permission of their chaperones. Not sure what justice your talking about.

That ended up being my final remark about it on FB...

The adults who were chaperones should have lined the boys up and moved them away and left the scene once the yelling and such started. Screaming the school chants when people dont know their school chants could have felt like a defiant act and heres the thing...

It doesnt matter at that point who is right and who is wrong, young people were involved and the adults in charge should have stepped it up at that point and moved them away. If they had been followed, then that would be a very clear mistake on the other adults around. But it should have been about the safety of the young people in the eyes of the adults that were there to chaperone them. 

Had that happened, the "standoff" wouldnt have happened.

That footage is from several years ago and is being brought up as recon since the msm botched this story so much. Has your school seriously never done that before? My school had blackouts. It only has a negative interpretation if you give it one. The kids dressed for the blackout basketball game are not even the same kids from the incident. How are they relevant to the situation? 

Maybe school has had blackouts yes. 

But what they didn’t do was paint black paint on their face. 

Heck we even have white outs, but instead of painting our faces we just throw baby powder everywhere

Dressing in black for a blackout is very different from painting your face like a blackface movie character with white around the eyes and a white smile. Get a grip. It's tone deaf and it shows this school has a racially insensitive past.

I’ve been to dozens of blackouts across the South and Midwest, high school and college basketball and football (with 100,000 people in attendance) and I’ve never seen anyone paint their face black. That’s incredibly inappropriate and people in the US view that as racist.

I guess that putting the paint on the face is a little abnormal, but like i have said before, the kids in the incident are not these kids. Yes, it is the same school but the minors in question are not the ones in these photos. You cannot judge their actions based on the actions of others. One would hope that the kids with the black paint on their face did not have the intention of being racist, but you never really know as we do not know the content of their heart or intentions at the time.

What in the "go light on the pepper" is going on?

I’ve watched all of the videos that have come out & what happened still doesn’t give that group of white supremacist teens the right to make fun of & literally intimidate the native Americans. So everyone saying “oh well there’s more to the story” it doesn’t matter because they were STILL in the wrong. That’s like saying “oh well he took my eye so I’m gonna take someone else’s” we do not live in an eye for an eye country, we don’t use the excuse “oh well they started it by treating us like **** so it’s ok that we treated others that way”
