Now that the hour plus long video has surfaced of a group of Catholic School
students engaging in multiple confrontations in our nations capital the picture
is clearer and worse than ever. There was a group of black Hebrews loudly
protesting the president's policies, namely the wall. The group of teens and
their chaperones, wearing MAGA hats loudly counter protested with build the
wall and go back to Africa chants. At this point the confrontation was mostly
peaceful with the teens staying about 15 feet away from their intended targets.
At that point 3 native Americans started playing their drums and chanting. This
is where things took a turn for the ugly. The teens surrounded them and started
to close in their circle around them, blocking their exit or retreat. Taking it
a step further one of the teens, in a threatening move, took off his shirt and
got directly within inches of the native Americans who were powerless to
retreat. While the apologists will be quick to point out that no assault
occurred, lets look at another crime that doesn't get as much air time. It is
called menacing. Yes, in many locales that is a felony. It is to act in a
manner which would make the victim believe they are in jeopardy of injury or
death. Evidentially those lads were willfully ignorant of the legal
consequences of their actions. If a group of black, Hispanic, or Muslum males
surrounded a member of the privileged class or a police officer in the manner
these lads did they would have been shot. Let's look at another example that
occurred on this list. There was a theory set forth by some here who believe
their status as members of the privileged class allows them to forego tipping a
wait staff. Those folks are willfully ignorant of something known as "theft of
service", which is a very real crime in many places. What these two
aforementioned examples teach us is that when you are a member of the
privileged class you can be as willfully ignorant of the law as you choose to
be; because in the end the laws don't apply to you. So like it or not, those
fine lads from their wealthy, plaid tie, blue blazer, embroidered breast pocket
private school have become the face of the new privileged class and an icon of
everything that is wrong with the ever-increasing socio-economic divide.
