Several people who had failed to adequately condemn them soon found themselves at the bottom of the dogpile, too. It’s always surprising when people who’ve been doxed endorse the practice themselves, but I saw few defenses of these boys in the hours after the video started to spread.

“I want NAMES,” comic Kathy Griffin tweeted to her 2 million followers. This wasn’t enough for everyone: One Kentucky lawmaker tweeted that teenagers wearing MAGA hats should be “banned.” Other people called for the kids to be doxed. The school was flooded with angry phone calls and emails, leaders of the Catholic Church issued statements calling for the boys’ punishment, and soon, the school issued a statement-the boys involved would be held to account for their actions, maybe even expelled. From all across the political spectrum, the boys-who, it turned out, were students at Kentucky’s Covington Catholic High School and were in DC for the anti-choice March for Life-were roundly condemned. But when I saw that video clip on Saturday, I was ready to pick up my pitchfork and burn those little MAGA hat fuckers to the ground. There’s almost always more to the story, and for the most part, I try not to take part in the mob. After the initial incident and outrage, more facts emerge and it turns out the cafe owner accused of being a Nazi sympathizer is Jewish the woman who called the cops on a black person was blind the trans person kicked out of the vintage store was actually shoplifting. I’ve written a lot about this sort of online saga and I’ve realized that short viral video clips almost never tell the whole story. Taking part in viral outrage is generally against my own rules. The tweet claimed that the boys surrounded and mobbed a group of Natives at the Indigenous Peoples March in Washington DC, and I saw red and hit retweet in less than a second. His stupid, smirking face seemed to symbolize everything wrong with America right now. The clip focused on one red-hatted boy staring directly at the man with the drum. It showed an older Native American man drumming, surrounded by jeering white teenagers in MAGA hats.

The outrage machine whipped itself up into quite the frenzy this weekend after video that appeared to show a bunch of virginal pro-life activists in MAGA hats harassing an elderly Native American man went viral online.
