If this was the only video I saw, I would just see kids jumping around with some inappropriate cultural appropriation. What was really bad was getting in the gentleman's face, shouting build a wall, trying to provoke physical contact, etc.

I don't think there is much controversy that there are a lot of rotten apples in this bunch, but I don't get it from this particular video.
