I sadly live near the city where these boys live and attend a Christian school. We even have a few “young relatives” that also go to the school and their parents are preaching the “party line” that this was not their fault and the media is making it worst. The response from the school only said “we have handled it with the students and parents”.

I could say the fact they attend a Christian school makes it even worse but I know why that is not true.

This happened at a political event and I know a progressive friend who attended who said they spent most of the day walking around the event with their multiple cutouts acting pretty entitled. The same behavior you describe in your essay.

Thanks for your perspective.
