Before the incident, nothing about this particular day, Aug. 30, felt out of the ordinary for McDonald, the director of athletics and physical education at the McLean School in Potomac. He drove to Churchill to meet up with four young runners who he helps train. It was a Sunday morning around 10:30 a.m., and not many people were at the outdoor athletics facility. He often trains at Churchill because the McLean School does not have its own track.

After the runners—girls who attend local middle and high schools—finished their cool down laps, McDonald started to do his own workout in lane eight—the outermost lane on the track—and the space between that lane and the nearby fence. He recalls that there were “maybe seven people” total using the track.

“I was doing my pushups, and I heard a voice that I hadn’t normally heard, and when I looked up after my set of pushups, the individual told me I needed to move, that I was in his way,” McDonald says. “And I kindly said to the gentleman who was older, I said, ‘Sir, you know, you have lanes one through seven.’ I said, in a kind way, ‘No one’s using them.’ And he looked at me and he said, ‘Well, what are you going to do the next time I come around and step on your head?'”

-----------------

In Negin’s second video that McDonald uploaded, the man gets upset when the African American bystanders tell him he’s escalating the situation. “No, you’re escalating it,” he says while holding up a cell phone. “You’re not going tell me what to do. We’ve been here 52 years. I graduated 1980.”

The young girl in the video also stands up for her coach. “Why is it OK for me to stand there but [McDonald] is in the same lane?”

A discussion breaks out about where the girl was standing, and Negin tells the man to go on his way. “This is the United States of America,” the man shouts. “You don’t tell us where to go!”

Eventually, McDonald asks, “Do you notice how you’re only targeting one person?” The man becomes incredulous. “Oh my God,” he says as he starts to walk away with the woman. “You know what he’s trying to play right now. What a joke! Trump 2020! Donald Trump! We want Trump 2020!”

“Those are Biden supporters!” he continues as the video cuts off.

5. part of using a public track is stepping around others on the track

It's called sharing.

Had to say that. Pretty obvious what the guy was doing. Hope he gets treated like so many assholes outed on twitter get treated.

6. So unnecessary. Making something out of nothing.

Move to one of the seven inside lanes and keep going.

So simple.
