They haven’t. At 6am they still had a message up condemning the entire class and threatening expulsions.

Around 6:15 they took down their entire website.

The school is as guilty as the media. They have no room to sue anyone.

Exactly. I would love to say if I were one of the students I'd tell the school admin in private to get f'd if they think they are going to stand side by side and act like they have my back after what they pulled.

These people have no shame

Almost everytime a fake news story is released of an incident taken out of context. The video/story blows up all over the internet/media. They call for doxxing and harassment of individuals

Short period later, we find out all the story/incident was not close to what was originally reported.. The people reporting it turn a blind eye and just move on as the damage is already done

Can someone give the cliffnotes on this story? I'm confused as to what happened between all parties.

Misleading video emerged claiming high school kid in a Maga hat approached a peaceful native American and mocked him. (the first video really did make it look kinda bad, although there was still no mocking going on)

Full video shows that the high school kid was just minding his own business hanging out with friends singing school songs when the native American marched into the group of kids beating his drum in the one kid's face.

The kid just stood there doing nothing while the guy beat his drum in his face then the kid eventually walked off not understanding what was even going on.

The left went on to attack the kid calling him racist and accusing him of mocking the native American. Now the three whole video has surfaced the members of the left are continuing to bash the kid even though the evidence is clear that the kid did nothing wrong.

There is outrage a'plenty, but it will not be covered by the "news media" since the outrage is against their machinations and their agenda. The only sorrow over this in the "media" is that they were caught lying and trying to advance their agenda so blatantly.

Read up on this one, watched a few videos. One twitter comment that stuck with me the most was basically stating how this is the perfect example of how each biased side will view this from their own perspective and come up with a different conclusion. That's so true here.

It certainly seems like some of the kids in the group were instigating or whatever you want to call it. Not saying he didn't do anything at all, but from what I've found, I didn't really see the actual kid(Nicolas Sandmann, was it?) partaking in what the other kids were doing. Him staring at the native American dude was the only time I really saw him, was there any more video of him?

It kinda seemed like all 3 groups in question were arse holes. I just didn't see/find enough about the specific Sandmann kid to see anything he did wrong, but maybe he did, I don't know.

The black dudes were harrassing the kids. The Native American dude, even if he really was trying to play peacemaker, gets right up in the Sandmann kid's space, and all the kid did was smile. But Nathan Phillips' quotes after called the kids' beasts and the black dudes their prey, which certainly seems off base. The other kids in the group were being a-holes.

Just a crazy situation all around.

How and why were they being assholes. By the accounts they have given, they started singing their school songs, or doing their school cheers to drown out the vitriol hurled at them. Certainly you heard all the epithets the Israelite group was using, right?

The boys were off to one side waiting for their bus. How is a 16/17 year old supposed to act in the circumstance? Why is a grown man, not only grown, but up-in-years, specifically trying to go THROUGH the boys? Sandmann stated that Philips made eye-contact before he started trying to go through.

Sandmann is ALSO being crucified for not having a poker face, so he's labeled nine-ways-to-Sunday by the Left for his "punchable face" and his "smirk" in the face of an adult who is trying to foment further conflict.

Yes, I literally said that in my thread.

I'd guess the war chants were just a complete coincidence then, right?

If you're arguing they weren't mocking the Indian dude, you're not even trying to be unbiased.

AGAIN, I pointed out multiple times I didn't see anything that specific kid did that was wrong or should be called out.


I'm still not sure what I posted that you took offense to, to be honest.

Making certain I got it all correct. I am slow on the uptake at times.

This is a video I posted in a thread I started earlier. It is almost 2 hrs long, i didn't watch most of it, but I did watch the beginning and then at the 34 mins left mark is where the catholic school students-native American interaction begins.

LINK

In the beginning the black Israel people are telling native Americans that the reason their land was stolen was because they don't believe in god.. Instead they believe that buffalo, etc are gods.

Then when the situation with the Catholic school students started, they were siding with the native Americans.

IMO, the whole thing looked like a cluster frick. Once it got out, it became political and both sides used it to fit their agenda. I really don't know what the hell happened, there is a chance there could be multiple guilty parties. When you have a group of Catholic school teenage males, it is hard to think that they are completely innocent.. You put a group of teenage males together and you really never know, because they will likely do some stupid shite.

But it seems like there was so much going on there, that there were likely other parties that was guilty of something.

This high schooler is getting DEATH THREATS for standing there, kinda smirking (and now we know why). Are you fricking kidding me, DEATH THREATS! To a kid! That is absolutely insane. And being encouraged by nutjob adults! People should be ashamed of themselves.

Looked like they thought Philips was joining them at first. The war chants the kids did lasted for like 5 seconds then they stopped. Again, these are high school kids, they probably shouldn't have done that, but what do they know.

I certainly agree. But like I said, all 3 sides had faults. They're young, I don't expect them to be as mature as the other 2 groups, but that doesn't mean they handled it perfectly fine.

I'd say they handled it better than the two adult groups though.

That's fine. I wasn't comparing any of the 3 and ranking them, just pointing out none of them handled it perfectly.

Still not quite sure what assertions of mine are being disagreed with, to be honest.
