I wouldn't say they have a great following WhiteTara Jan 2019 #49

Have you watched the full video? oberliner Jan 2019 #51

No, but I hear they were vile. WhiteTara Jan 2019 #71

I would've laughed if I had been there: they're a joke. cwydro Jan 2019 #106

Why not give them a piece of your mind? oberliner Jan 2019 #114

Would it make any difference? Hell no. cwydro Jan 2019 #119

You are advocating not responding when confronted by a member of the KKK? oberliner Jan 2019 #123

Walking away is almost always the best response WhiteTara Jan 2019 #117

Love your sig line. cwydro Jan 2019 #120

In this video? They're 5 guys with a microphone. They are 5 guys who choose to exercise Squinch Jan 2019 #38

Interesting. nt oasis Jan 2019 #9

Regardless of whatever rumble the CCHC Hitler Youth had with a minority group before they Squinch Jan 2019 #10

The group that was shouting the n-word and gay slurs also should be condemned oberliner Jan 2019 #11

You can "whatabout" yourself to death. I won't. There is no excuse. Squinch Jan 2019 #12

Nobody is defending it - but looking for a "how did this happen" hexola Jan 2019 #14

The Black Israelite group was not marching with the Catholic students oberliner Jan 2019 #15

Condemning the Black Israelites behavior is not defending the CCHS students behavior onenote Jan 2019 #18

Exactly - just as guilty hexola Jan 2019 #21

See my post 27. Just as guilty? Really? Squinch Jan 2019 #28

Do you really not see any difference between those - what 5? - guys shouting bile at passersbys, Squinch Jan 2019 #27

I see differences. But that doesn't excuse the Black Israelites behavior. onenote Jan 2019 #31

And no one said it does. But there is danger in the "whataboutism" that suggests Squinch Jan 2019 #32

They came across as lunatics treestar Jan 2019 #98

Cause the subject wasn't about their behavior, WTF !?! Are you saying the CCHS boys are justified? uponit7771 Jan 2019 #109

Isn't it entertaining to "just know" who the poster is, tavernier Jan 2019 #19

Have you? It doesn't seem like you have. Squinch Jan 2019 #45

You can try to defend this Hitler Youth behavior, and it is no surprise you are doing so, but there mr_lebowski Jan 2019 #57

Thankfully no one is defending the adults shouting the n-word and gay slurs at high schoolers oberliner Jan 2019 #69

Exactly, 100% right ... nobody here is ... mr_lebowski Jan 2019 #74

Oh for fucks sake...this is EXACTLY the mind set that has haunted Drahthaardogs Jan 2019 #36

Did you watch the video? oberliner Jan 2019 #39

Did you? Because you seem to be seeing something in it that is not there. Is it your opinion Squinch Jan 2019 #42

I did, and it only reinforced my opinion of who or what you are. Drahthaardogs Jan 2019 #68

You need to explain what it is you saw in it that warranted 50 high school boys surrounding Squinch Jan 2019 #44

Why do you think he's trying "warrant" their behavior? hexola Jan 2019 #47

No, they are NOT the same. One group was 5 guys exercising free speech. That speech was hateful Squinch Jan 2019 #48

Oh - ok - I see, "what about-ism" hexola Jan 2019 #50

Actually Squinch's argument is the opposite of whataboutism ... mr_lebowski Jan 2019 #55

Your response is quite confusing, but I think what you are saying is that you do NOT see Squinch Jan 2019 #58

Im trying to issue a blanket condemnation of hate... hexola Jan 2019 #60

I am "pushing" that there is a difference between hateful free speech, which is protected in our Squinch Jan 2019 #63

Thanks for clearing that up for me. hexola Jan 2019 #79

What hook? I have said I found their words abhorrent. I have also said I will fight to the Squinch Jan 2019 #66

No - just don't reply to me like Im trying to push some anti-free speech thing... hexola Jan 2019 #67

I really don't understand this conversation. You are arguing that hateful free speech is as bad as Squinch Jan 2019 #72

So outside of the captivity - you're ok with the rest of it - just good ol Free Speech? hexola Jan 2019 #81

Free speech is free speech. I don't need qualifiers. Captivity is a different thing. Squinch Jan 2019 #86
