Hi Clifford,
Believe it or not, CBS News actually did a pretty good job covering this mess.
They mentioned the questionable behavior of both the high school students and
the black protesters. IMHO, there are no good guys here with the exception of
the elderly Native American guy with the drum.
AS for the hat and what it says, Trump is in no way "making America great
again." He is actually driving us closer and closer to civil war.

It appears this subject has linked together both ACB Chat and Blind Democracy.
It's interesting to see that each of us bends this story to suit our own
political bias'.
For the record, the Media referred to here, is the property of the American
Oligarchy. The networks and the publishing Houses are owned by those with a
vested stake in protecting the Establishment. Donald Trump is a master at
manipulating the Media. Like a tornado, he has spun so many stories that the
Media falls over its own tongues trying to keep up with him. Keeping America
stirred up and turning different factions against one another is part of an age
old formula for success...Divide and Conquer!
While we are bickering over who said what and who did what, the Ruling Class is
busy battening down the hatches.
It's difficult to believe that the American Empire could keep a straight face
when it announces that it is going about the world preaching Peace and
democracy. Do we really want to point to our own national mess and tell the
world that this is what democracy looks like?

You and I heard quite different accounts of the events involved here.
It is my understanding that the catholic school students were on a trip to D.
C. and most were wearing caps with a pro-trump initials which drew the
attention demonstrators in the area and that is was the demonstrators
and a few under the influence who aggressively challenged the
students. The mainstream reporters initially put the same spin on
this, which is reflected in your statement. It appears that school
age children are targets of the media, if they dare to wear a cap with, MAGa
on their caps.
These are trying times and the "mainstream" media are a large part of
the problem
News should be factual and not simply anti Trump spin.
Yours Truly,

Subject: [acb-chat] Hatred, intimidation and make America white again
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; be cause 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.
