I blame the kids more than the others, there were over 30 of threm and about a handful of other haters and native Americans and those are kids around 15-18 years old and they are a bunch of tough guys and bullies in that group, why adults want to undersestimate their abilities and proclaim them "victims" is beyond me. That group caused the problems as well as the chaperones who were not taking control of the group. My feeling is they provoked the situation and a few witnesses came out saying the same thing.
Acrually, the whole thing got blown out of proportion and was started by a different group. According to some news sources, Mr. Phillips thought he was trying to protect the kids and there has been talks that though he is a veteran he is not a Vietnam veteran and that he is known for causing controversy. I will say for a kid to stand there and not to say anything was different. I don't think we will ever find out the truth on any of it.
I will say that when chaperoning high school kids that you give them some freedoms with a guideline on where and when to meet you because they are high school kids not elementary or middle school kids.
