in your column you quote kyle smith of the national review, who wrote this.bout ten minutes ago, it was broadly agreed in our culture that kids are allowed to do some dumb things because they're kids. should these kids' lives be ruined because some of them responded to obnoxious provocation by being a bit rude themselves? look, you know, he's not alone in expressing that opinion. >> sure. >> let's assume sandmann was caught in the middle of a crazy situation. as he told savannah, look, i can't say i'm being disrespectful. i respect him, i'd like to talk to him. what is your response to people who say, you know what, a lot is being made of kids doing something dumb? >> okay, i have several responses. in that particular piece you read really irked me because that kind of response only works if kids in question are white. jordan davis would still be alive. he was shot and killed when he was 17 because his music was too loud. tamir rice would still be alive when he was shot and killed at 12 years old because he was playing with a toy gun in a city park, like most

there was a guy called kyle smith in the national review who made this point. of them responded to obnoxious provocation. if we can find a video of not sanman but the kids who are jumping and whooing, that's the bigger picture we are missing. you said the assessment only applies to white kids and that it did not apply to kids like jordan davis or kids like black kids, can you expand on that >> in the quote of his piece befo before, he says up until 10 minutes ago, we let teenagers be teenagers and do stupid stuff. that jumped out at me. jordan davis he was 17 he would still be alive if he had not been murdered because his music was too loud or tamir rice who was 12 who you would nwould not have been shot for playing with a toy gun in a park. and in a texas pool party and mishandled by the police the idea that teenagers do stupid stuff, it is ridiculous it only applies to white kids. we have to remember here the right is trying to say ah-ha, the media got it wrong and everyone gotten it wrong the person on the right of what they call the form video which came fr
