Mr. Phillips chose to go between the two groups, in his words, to diffuse the situation with his song.
In his own words, he moved forward, and they moved back, so he moved forward again.
Sandmann simply chose not to be intimidated backward. In Sandmann's words, he did not understand why he should be expected to move out of Phillips' way.
Note that Sandmann did not move in front of Phillips to block him. Phillips moved in front of Sandmann to try to make Sandmann step back or step away.
This was an adult, trying to bully teenagers. For those defending Phillips, watch how, when Sandmann refuses to get out of his way, Phillips raises his drum and beats in the kids face. If he was so peaceful, why beat the drum right at that kid's nose?
The teenagers were NOT shouting epithets and slurs and insults. That was the Black Isrealites AND the people who were WITH Phillips (who told these KIDS to "go back where they came from" and "go back to Europe".)
Adults were bullying a bunch of high school kids, and then those same adults gave their video and testimony to the press to try to make the kids look bad. These adults gave false statements.
Phillips himself said that the kids surrounded him. YET, by his OWN admission, Phillips had moved INTO the group and the group moved AROUND him to get out of his way. It was NOT that the kids came up on Phillips and moved around him. HE moved into THEM! Then, gave the press a story that made HIMSELF out to be a victim, when in fact, he was the bully.
The adults AND the press should be ashamed of themselves.
People jumped all over these kids ONLY because they were wearing the uniform of the "other" team, i.e. they wore MAGA hats.
