their (the left / MSM's) use of heavily edited video is insidious

my BS flag goes up almost immediately these days

---------------------------------------------

I'm so unbelievably sick of all this racial bullshit. This is "our" land, we were here first. "You're" oppressing "us."

None of us were alive when all this shit went down. I'm Irish. My mom is 100% and my dad is %75. His other part is Scottish/Jewish. I mean, "my people" went through all kinds of shit back in the day. Irish were discriminated against worst than many folks.

No bitching from the Irish folks today. Fact is, we have thankfully evolved beyond all that BS. Are there little issues here and there? Yes, of course, but it's 2019 people, if your life sucks take a look in the mirror. Blame your parents, then blame yourself, then ask what you're doing for your kids to make sure they succeed.

That's it, that's about as wide as you need to look. Outside of that, you're making excuses and will always be a piece of shit 'cause you're blaming the wrong people.

Please, please, please, please attempt to bring violence against these kids.

In Kenton County. Please?

Pretty please?

This will not work out quite like the liberal mouthpieces calling for violence think it will. They'll show up to hurt them, they'll wind up dead, KSP will taunt whoever or whatever is left to protest over it. Probably while wearing a MAGA hat....

This is the type stuff that will push us into a shooting war. It won't last long, however.

Dishonesty has become virtue. I first read the true story from Newsweek. I downloaded the long video before Youtube deleted it.

The comments in the newsweek article show several refusing to read the article or watch the unedited video. Instead they simply parrot the progressive message.

When two groups can no longer communicate what is left?

This needs to be propagated widely. It is another classic example of selective editing by biased journalists to create Fake News.

We fought a war and they lost. Bummer. They're damn lucky we gave them anything IMO.

To the victor go the spoils. Suck it up and drive on.

First person I saw trying to calm the waters on twitter was Tim Pool. Adding to the frustration of the whole deal is now that the truth is out, for all to see, for many people it doesn't matter. They were told what they wanted to hear, and there's no going back.

The problem is that you think "communication" means one thing. They find it to mean something different. They believe that communication is a lecture that they get to give. They believe that compromise is only taking 3/4 of what they want instead of taking it all, and calling their actions compromise like a mobster only extorting $1000 out of business owner instead of $2k. Compromise to them is not giving and getting, it is taking.

They have been empowered to believe these things by their liberal handlers and masters.

They are finding out that it isn't true, and their true, nasty side is coming out as it is all they have left (no pun intended).

Statement of Nick Sandmann, Covington Catholic High School Junior, Regarding Incident at the Lincoln Memorial:

I am providing this factual account of what happened on Friday afternoon at the Lincoln Memorial to correct misinformation and outright lies being spread about my family and me.

I am the student in the video who was confronted by the Native American protestor. I arrived at the Lincoln Memorial at 4:30 p.m. I was told to be there by 5:30 p.m., when our busses were due to leave Washington for the trip back to Kentucky. We had been attending the March for Life rally and then had split up into small groups to do sightseeing.

When we arrived, we noticed four African American protestors who were also on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I am not sure what they were protesting, and I did not interact with them. I did hear them direct derogatory insults at our school group.

The protestors said hateful things. They called us “racists,” “bigots,” “white crackers,” “faggots,” and “incest kids.” They also taunted an African American student from my school by telling him that we would “harvest his organs.” I have no idea what that insult means, but it was startling to hear.

Because we were being loudly attacked and taunted in public, a student in our group asked one of our teacher chaperones for permission to begin our school spirit chants to counter the hateful things that were being shouted at our group. The chants are commonly used at sporting events. They are all positive in nature and sound like what you would hear at any high school. Our chaperone gave us permission to use our school chants. We would not have done that without obtaining permission from the adults in charge of our group.

At no time did I hear any student chant anything other than the school spirit chants. I did not witness or hear any students chant “build that wall” or anything hateful or racist at any time. Assertions to the contrary are simply false. Our chants were loud because we wanted to drown out the hateful comments that were being shouted at us by the protestors.

After a few minutes of chanting, the Native American protestors, who I hadn’t previously noticed, approached our group. The Native American protestors had drums and were accompanied by at least one person with a camera.

The protestor everyone has seen in the video began playing his drum as he waded into the crowd, which parted for him. I did not see anyone try to block his path. He locked eyes with me and approached me, coming within inches of my face. He played his drum the entire time he was in my face.

I never interacted with this protestor. I did not speak to him. I did not make any hand gestures or other aggressive moves. To be honest, I was startled and confused as to why he had approached me. We had already been yelled at by another group of protestors, and when the second group approached I was worried that a situation was getting out of control where adults were attempting to provoke teenagers.

I believed that by remaining motionless and calm, I was helping to diffuse the situation. I realized everyone had cameras and that perhaps a group of adults was trying to provoke a group of teenagers into a larger conflict. I said a silent prayer that the situation would not get out of hand.

During the period of the drumming, a member of the protestor’s entourage began yelling at a fellow student that we “stole our land” and that we should “go back to Europe.” I heard one of my fellow students begin to respond. I motioned to my classmate and tried to get him to stop engaging with the protestor, as I was still in the mindset that we needed to calm down tensions.

I never felt like I was blocking the Native American protestor. He did not make any attempt to go around me. It was clear to me that he had singled me out for a confrontation, although I am not sure why.

The engagement ended when one of our teachers told me the busses had arrived and it was time to go. I obeyed my teacher and simply walked to the busses. At that moment, I thought I had diffused the situation by remaining calm, and I was thankful nothing physical had occurred.

I never understood why either of the two groups of protestors were engaging with us, or exactly what they were protesting at the Lincoln Memorial. We were simply there to meet a bus, not become central players in a media spectacle. This is the first time in my life I’ve ever encountered any sort of public protest, let alone this kind of confrontation or demonstration.

I was not intentionally making faces at the protestor. I did smile at one point because I wanted him to know that I was not going to become angry, intimidated or be provoked into a larger confrontation. I am a faithful Christian and practicing Catholic, and I always try to live up to the ideals my faith teaches me – to remain respectful of others, and to take no action that would lead to conflict or violence.

I harbor no ill will for this person. I respect this person’s right to protest and engage in free speech activities, and I support his chanting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial any day of the week. I believe he should re-think his tactics of invading the personal space of others, but that is his choice to make.

I am being called every name in the book, including a racist, and I will not stand for this mob-like character assassination of my family’s name. My parents were not on the trip, and I strive to represent my family in a respectful way in all public settings.

I have received physical and death threats via social media, as well as hateful insults. One person threatened to harm me at school, and one person claims to live in my neighborhood. My parents are receiving death and professional threats because of the social media mob that has formed over this issue.

I love my school, my teachers and my classmates. I work hard to achieve good grades and to participate in several extracurricular activities. I am mortified that so many people have come to believe something that did not happen – that students from my school were chanting or acting in a racist fashion toward African Americans or Native Americans. I did not do that, do not have hateful feelings in my heart, and did not witness any of my classmates doing that.

I cannot speak for everyone, only for myself. But I can tell you my experience with Covington Catholic is that students are respectful of all races and cultures. We also support everyone’s right to free speech.

I am not going to comment on the words or account of Mr. Phillips, as I don’t know him and would not presume to know what is in his heart or mind. Nor am I going to comment further on the other protestors, as I don’t know their hearts or minds, either.

I have read that Mr. Phillips is a veteran of the United States Marines. I thank him for his service and am grateful to anyone who puts on the uniform to defend our nation. If anyone has earned the right to speak freely, it is a U.S. Marine veteran.

I can only speak for myself and what I observed and felt at the time. But I would caution everyone passing judgment based on a few seconds of video to watch the longer video clips that are on the internet, as they show a much different story than is being portrayed by people with agendas.

I provided this account of events to the Diocese of Covington so they may know exactly what happened, and I stand ready and willing to cooperate with any investigation they are conducting.

I posted a news story last night after watching the 11pm news. On that broadcast they had the Mayor of Phillip's hometown on who stated Phillip's was a well known local activist, had participated in many local protests, and had other incidents. Of all of the stories currently on tha it agencies website, the one contain this clip.

So who confronted who? What does the video really show? A snotty HS punk confronting and taunting a Native American elder performing native music, or is it a native American activist who saw an opportunity with a group of kids wearing MAGA hats to challenge?

I fear that a couple of these kids (who did NOTHING WRONG) are going to be sacrificed to appease the MSM and Twitter mobs and will be expelled.

Fuck those guys.

Grown men advocating violence against 16 year old kids...and they accuse US of being the hateful ones.

Maybe Reza Aslan's face? It seems super punchable to me.

What a sham this whole ‘outrage’ has been.

Just more paid professional agitators in action.

Reza Aslan is the guy who's CNN show got canceled because he participated in cannibalism on it, eating actual human brains. Clearly, they didn't help with his intelligence.

If this situation went on for a period of time why did the chaperones not call for police intervention?

One photo, a split second in time seems to tell a story, yet the story is not what the photo captured.

Pretty amazing that an hour prior the elderly Native American stepping in front of the Black Israelites, the Black activist were verbally attacking female Native Americans.
(Reference the first 15 minutes of the video I posted to see how these Black Activist really feel about Native Americans and Females.)

The Black activists changed their view on Native Americans as Mr. Phillips walked up to target the high school boys with his drum beating.

So you had the whacked out black nationalists screaming stuff at anyone, you had the Natives screaming get out of our country-go back to Europe (you lost, we won, tough shit, build a casino and shut the hell up), and you had a group of white teenage boys, some of who were wearing MAGA hats......what could go wrong. I watched the hour + video. I liked the part where the Native adult is beating on a drum 4 inches from a kid's head. At first glance I almost thought the drum was resting on the kid's body. If it had been my kid, shithead was threatening, well, more than his heart would be buried at Wounded Knee.

Shithead's story has changed a couple times to he was going his peace walk when the kids surrounded him to he was trying to get between the groups to defuse the situation. He hit every major anti-Trump talking point during his interview.

Leftists are some sick people, this guy actually works for Disney. You know the company that caters to kids?
