Dear Frank and List Members:
You and I heard quite different accounts of the events involved here. It is my understanding that the catholic school students were on a trip to D. C. and most were wearing caps with a pro-trump initials which drew the attention demonstrators in the area and that is was the demonstrators and a few under the influence who aggressively challenged the students. The mainstream reporters initially put the same spin on this, which is reflected in your statement. It appears that school age children are targets of the media, if they dare to wear a cap with, MAGa on their caps.
These are trying times and the "mainstream" media are a large part of the problem
News should be factual and not simply anti Trump spin.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson

Subject: [acb-chat] Hatred, intimidation and make America white again
Now that the hour plus long video has surfaced of a group of Catholic School students engaging in multiple confrontations in our nations capital the picture is clearer and worse than ever. There was a group of black Hebrews loudly protesting the president's policies, namely the wall. The group of teens and their chaperones, wearing MAGA hats loudly counter protested with build the wall and go back to Africa chants. At this point the confrontation was mostly peaceful with the teens staying about 15 feet away from their intended targets. At that point 3 native Americans started playing their drums and chanting. This is where things took a turn for the ugly. The teens surrounded them and started to close in their circle around them, blocking their exit or retreat. Taking it a step further one of the teens, in a threatening move, took off his shirt and got directly within inches of the native Americans who were powerless to retreat. While the apologists will be quick to point out that no
assault occurred, lets look at another crime that doesn't get as much air time. It is called menacing. Yes, in many locales that is a felony. It is to act in a manner which would make the victim believe they are in jeopardy of injury or death. Evidentially those lads were willfully ignorant of the legal consequences of their actions. If a group of black, Hispanic, or Muslum males surrounded a member of the privileged class or a police officer in the manner these lads did they would have been shot. Let's look at another example that occurred on this list. There was a theory set forth by some here who believe their status as members of the privileged class allows them to forego tipping a wait staff. Those folks are willfully ignorant of something known as "theft of service", which is a very real crime in many places. What these two aforementioned examples teach us is that when you are a member of the privileged class you can be as willfully ignorant of the law as you choose to be; be cause in the end the laws don't apply to you. So like it or not, those fine lads from their wealthy, plaid tie, blue blazer, embroidered breast pocket private school have become the face of the new privileged class and an icon of everything that is wrong with the ever-increasing socio-economic divide.
Frank
