They showed a clip. He's going to use the stand your ground defense. "I had every right to be there."
But he looks stoned/medicated. I don't think he believes it. I think he's been coached.
We DESPERATELY need Mall footage to see how that crowd surrounded the four black Israelites that were standing by a table.

The adults made the trip appealing to students by encouraging the kids to act like hooligans. Put on the MAGA hats and yell and scream at libs.
The whole purpose of the Right to Life march is to yell and scream at libs.
The kids clearly enjoyed engaging with the Black Israelites - who were also there to behave outrageously - and their adult chaperones were clearly unconcerned.

Hope the little bastard enjoys his White House visit; count on trump to reward bad behavior.

As a kid, I opened doors for elderly people and showed them respect because my mom taught us kids basic manners. He and his friends behavior was sickening.
