[Hoot Gibson]

Another totally manufactured liberal controversy. When my wife first told me about this incident, I was almost ready to condemn the CovCath kids for their "behavior." Then I watched part of a two hour video that clearly shows that the Indian elder and a small group of black activists instigated this controversy.


It looks like the kids were assembled waiting on their buses and the small number of protesters decided to use a large gathering of mostly white kids as a prop to get attention for themselves. The old man invaded the kids' personal space as he banged a drum loudly in their faces. He lied when he said that they surrounded him and then "blocked his retreat." A person is under no obligation so yield ground simply because somebody decides that they want to walk across the two square feet on which that person is standing.


Shame on Covington Catholic for condemning their own kids without waiting for all of the facts. If some of the kids handled a confrontation that they did not instigate poorly, then they should be counseled and punished, if warranted, but this is a case of adult liberal professional victims exploiting a group of kids who were minding their own business.
