At closer examination it looks like Nathan is making his way through the crowd as the kids separate and they end up face to face and the kid and it looks like the kid next to him don't budge so they just end up face to face for several minutes and it gets awkward. So I stand corrected that he stepped in front of Nathan. He really just stood there and didn't give space.

And let's not forget the kids were as homophobic as the Black Israelites TwistOneUp Jan 2019 #51

Exactly, and any adults/chaperones should have been ushering the kids away from the situation. lkinwi Jan 2019 #54

According to Sandmann (or Sandmann's lawyer): LeftInTX Jan 2019 #63

Exactly. There were only four or five BIs; the kids could have easily ignored them. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2019 #67

Because the white kids became a mob 2naSalit Jan 2019 #10

The number of kids had grown to a large number and the kids seemed to be getting more aggressive Quixote1818 Jan 2019 #14

There were at least 50 kids and 5 crazy black dudes. ismnotwasm Jan 2019 #15

I think, based on his comments, that he had concern for the kids, as kids. pnwmom Jan 2019 #28

They came in with MAGA hats, and they attend a Catholic school. Baitball Blogger Jan 2019 #85

Catholic schools are basically secular with a little religion on the side. LeftInTX Jan 2019 #93

That's the truth on Catholic High Schools from my view. I attended one. Progressive Jones Jan 2019 #105

That was true where I grew in NJ/NY, but not true now in some places. aikoaiko Jan 2019 #108

They are still pretty much secular where I live LeftInTX Jan 2019 #109
