to the black guys narrating that part of it, was to calm the situation down. Then the boys surrounded Phillips. That is quite the mob that circles him, yelling at him, taunting him, intimidating him, mocking him. It looks pretty hateful to me.

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
