Thoughts from Neo.

What happened to the Covington kids is a signpost on how rapidly the Left, weaponized by social media, can come up with its latest Goldstein. Unfortunately, the face generated a lot more than two minutes of hate.

Going on well over 20,000 days without advocating the punching of anyone. And this is another example of how when Leftists accuse sane people of being "hateful" and "violent" it's nothing but projection. https://t.co/omlC2l9jGh

Let us all celebrate the life of the man who dreamed of a day that we judge people by not the color of their skin, but the content of their character, by hating young white males.

Mark Steyn: The drumbeat of the mob.

[Update a few minutes later]

Robby Soave has viewed all of the video, and discovered who the real (ignorant) racist is:

The Native American man says, “Go back to Europe where you came from. This is not your land, you have been here two, three generations compared to us. We’ve been here a million fucking years.” The MAGA teen responds, “That’s not true. Let’s go all the way back to Africa,” and proceeds to tell the story of the land bridge that once connected Asia to North America, which allowed humans to settle these lands some thousands of years ago. (His opponent counters that this a “bullshit theory.”)

Keep in mind, the teen saying that all human beings originally came from Africa is a member of the group of young people initially described by countless pundits as obviously, undeniably racist.

Leftists have to have had their sense of irony excised at birth.

The 48-hour rule. Maybe it should be 72.

What’s happening to those kids is vile.

It is. I was just listening to Glenn Beck on the way back dropping Patricia off at the bus stop. He was playing the audio of the horrific things that the “black Israelites” (or whatever the hell those monsters are) were saying about killing white people and raping women and making them their concubines, that no one in the media seems to think is a big deal. He made the point that Social Justice Warriors don’t give a damn about justice. They’re Social Vengeance Warriors.

And “Dear Covington boys: Everyone failed you.” Well, not everyone, but most.
