What actions? It was the native who carried out actions, the kid just stood his ground. Guardian is such a poor news outlet.

Come on you and your mates behaved like spoilt brats. No defence

What a punchbag face!

At least TheAtlantic has gotten this right...

lying 💩.

I am sure that his PR people tell him not to apologise, but his card are marked.

Indefensible

Wearing a hat in support of the elected president they don't like is now justification for death threats against kids. Is activism so far gone that they genuinely see no problem with that ?

Most say otherwise .

What kind of crap are you peddling. Go interview those black israelites.

Poster Child for the Maga crowd. Racism, misogyny, hatred, poor bashing, children stealing trump crowd.

It’s ok to smirk SmirkGate🤣

These kids messed up. Why didn't they just apologize like 'sry we young and excited didn't think much didn't mean no harm'. It would've been all over. Instead this thing gets blown out of proportion, poor kid needs therapy after this one. That PR firm is retarded.

How do I set my Twitter handle so that this shit-face doesn’t show up in my feed?

Racists always defend themselves

Sandmann actually said that he wishes he would've walked away when approached by Nathan. It doesn't matter. He was wearing the wrong hat. The media would've found a way to spin walking away as disrespectful as standing in place.

It takes great courage to admit to being wrong. Needless to say...

The parents must have paid a fortune to some PR firm, the Native American hasn’t a PR firm working for him, so guess whose story is now getting out there

Wearing a magatard cap on an anti abortion march. Who cares if the media chucks him under a bus?

Redeemed by those of us who expose the FakeNews MSM, the true EnemyOfThePeople, whose agenda is clear to all. They are not Journalists but spreaders of sensationalism, strife and discord amongst the races, classes.

badly reared little brat.

He just stood there, he was approached by Mr Phillips whom invaded his space but showed respect to Indigenous Elder and his drum performance and also asked others to do the same.

He is a liar and he shall walk in shame as well as his parents.

Please. These people were there to try to take away a woman’s rights. I have no sympathy for them at all.

The kid acted like a wise old shaman who stays calm and stands his ground during instigation. The wise old shaman acted like a snotty kid trying to instigate a reaction by beating drums in people's faces.

Jesus, will you people just get over this?

And never was a rich boy so charmless!

Oh right, I forgot, getting in someone's face and smirking is a sign of respect...

Ah. Is this the kid whose rich Daddy hired a PR firm to smooth over the cracks for him? Lucky for some.

people have such obsessive hatred of trump that they are eager to ruin anyone associated with or in favor of him. Facts be damned.

I think this is being blown out of all proportion

I don't think the student was disrespectful. I saw that his classmates were.

Regardless if your personal view, please consider that this is a child.

I saw a clip and it’s hard to see what people are so upset about.

i side with the student ..its the same fanatical fervor we seen in this country from the legacy media....a desire to weaponize,create ideological narratives, like with that Syrian boy who got a smack at school.... they destroyed a brit kids life, and made him leave the country

“We’re gonna get in front of this, we’re gonna show a good American boy exercising his rights and then we’re gonna find some dirt on this uppity injun”

Why is he being singled out - first by the Native Indian and then by the Press. He was smiling wildly at the start but then just stood and smirked and did nothing while the others around him were going wild and even chanting. Yet, he is the one being vilified? Loved their Haka

Looks like a Jew, they're always attacking native peoples.

Bring yourself back on line .....

Watch this and make up your mind, these Trumpeteers said this to a group of teenage girls walking by, if you enjoy it, it isn't rape. I thought the definition was if the girl is not a willing participant, it is rape.

ps. I suggest a trip to the Orthodontist soon

HIS actions ? He just stood there. Blows me away that the group that was hurling hate for 2 hours gets ignored while the media continues to bully a TEENAGER while not calling out the other participant's blatant lies.

Too right. He did nothing wrong. Look at the ample tapes.

Little boys being picked on and bullied by old 'liberal' ratbags. That's the world today. Bravo 'progressives'

What about the racist Black Adults screaming at people using homophobic slurs!?!
