https://www.indy100.com/article/maga-hat-boys-covington-catholic-harassing-women-washington-nathan-phillips-twitter-video-8739981


A young woman posted a video to Twitter on Monday of a group of white boys in MAGA hats yelling at her and her friends as they walk past, alleging that the boys are the same ones who harrassed elderly Native American protestor Nathan Phillips at the Indiginous People's March in Washington on Saturday.

These young people have been raised racist, misogynists, and disrespectful to others in general.
And good grief, teen boys are at an anti-abortion demonstration! What they know about that is what they has been taught to them.

What kid thinks fat, pale, ugly Trump, who speaks incoherently is someone to admire? Left on their own, those kids would more likely mock the fat pig. They were very carefully coached to do what they did.

It certainly wasn't a thing I would even have contemplated doing as a boy. And my Mom, a former Catholic Nun, would never have let me do something like that even if the parish priest demanded it. But even in my teenage years I knew in my heart that racism was very, wrong despite what the Catholic church pushed.

These kids were primed and ready for a confrontation and the school administrators and faculty were the ones who coached and aimed them. The school faculty and administrators were using those boys. More likely the school adults wanted the confrontation and violence against other races. It was their thing they were pushing on some very stupid children.

If we had even thought to hoot at girls or intimidated others, no mater where we were, we would never have heard the end of it, not only from our parents but from our teaches and the nuns.

Why are they wearing paraphernalia that endorses a fat pale, balding stupid man? Someone had to teach those kids that their gut repulsion was wrong and though Trump is a disgusting proven liar, his ideas of racism and abuse should be admired. So, here, wear this stupid hat you stupid children and go cause some fights at the suppression of women rally. Yeah hate, intimidation and violence for God...just what the Catholic Church always supports.

should have been stopped from harassing a gentleman old enough to be his grandfather. No respect. His mother, instead of defending him, should apologize for his total lack of manners. Does he treat all adults, including her so disrespectfully, I wonder? So, the Catholic church protects pedophiles, but condones the total disrespect of all other adults? Very poor reflection on this particular school.

They were an angry mob and the adults who brought them there as anti abortion protestors were letting them escalate bc thats how anti abortion protestors are...loud, murderous, ugly and self righteous bc of an old dusty book. The chaperones were grooming them to be militant AA protestors and their parents are shameful and AWOL for letting them go. This was an unhinged excuse to rampage around Wash DC. cloaked(?) in some sort of religious disguise. Why weren't they singing psalms? Saying prayers on their knees? Bc they knew full well it was a thinly veiled excuse to let a bunch of bad bad behavior happen. Group mentality can be a very dangerous thing.

and Hillary emailed them to do it.
Plus the liberal media encouraged a break down in traditional family values which made them harass girls.
Plus did you see what the girls were wearing? They totally asked for some harassment by wearing a winter hat and jacket, way too sexy for teenage white boys to handle.

It's everyone's fault except the boys who did it. It's also not their parents fault for raising them either.

Very stupid dangerous children who have been very carefully coached to admire a big fat, pale, balding, stupid traitor and go on anti-abortion rallies as teenagers. Just what ever young teenage boy wants to do go to anit-choice rallies.

It was the adults at the school that were looking for a fight and pushed, and coached the boys into it. But I knew at that age that racism was wrong despite what the Catholic Church promoted, so should those foolish children.

Oh and the police arrived right after the boys had moved to their bus. Do you think they were fleeing the police? I sure do.

start admitting girls? Some of those "boys" act as though they had never seen one before!! They certainly do not know how to behave around young ladies, that's for sure. They probably think no good catholic girl will get pregnant, and possibly seek an abortion. Never, ever happens - RIGHT?? Some of their sisters, or even their mothers may be keeping a secret. Maybe even a couple of priests, the ones who prefer females?

It’s just boys being boys, blah blah. I’m so utterly sick and tired of republicans normalizing all of this. Making up excuses, sweeping it under the carpet, denying it, watching videos of it and saying but what about Hillary or Obama. This is not normal. It has not been normal in a very long time.
