It turns out Native Indian Americans CAN be hateful as well. You don't say. And Black hate groups as well? Fascinating.

Statement made by Nick Sandmann: (1/3)

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,” “f*ggots,” 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.

Statement by Nick Sandmann: (2/3)

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 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.

Statement by Nick Sandmann: (3/3)

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 judgement 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 [ ... ] stand ready and willing to cooperate with any investigation being conducted.

The Sandmann statement is unlikely to be published in the WaPo or NYT., nor will you hear about it on CNN or MSNBC.

Actually it was shared by a Native American Organisation who fair enough published it on their website.

please spread the word.

Simple screenshots of what he said would have been sufficient lol

cupcake do you really think I did all the typing?

Maybe........

This kid is such a shithead. I hope his life is ruined.

Typical evil libf*ck, you are. Can't wait til you get eaten by your own. Get f**ked.

Agreed....i'm native american. and the Native Elder went towards the kids FIRST. and he admitted it. i would not have provoked them like that.

fair enough they allowed for a clarification (see my comment/link above)

That kid is receiving threats now. That school is receiving threats now. The media is happy to lie and to have people's lives destroyed to get their agenda pushed.

I'm going to laugh my ass off once the people and media that slandered them get sued

I hope so.

@TheCJPearson is archiving social media posts bullying or slandering the Covington High School kids in order to bring a lawsuit.

Nice! May pain ensue.

I'm actually referring to the over one hour long video that pertains to the "black Israeli" racists that were stirring up hatred during the march. Very hateful people whom the media ignored and instead decided to go after children wearing MAGA hats who were causing no problems at all.

The thing that just about everyone on all sides (except you here) has overlooked is that it was the so-called Black Israelites who were harrasing everyone, the stuff after was mainly misunderstandings that got out of hand because of the BI, not spurred by the other two groups.

Not sure why you got downvoted for that. Have an upvote.

Oh wow, thanks.

Funny too, because I initially opened it with questions, but deleted that part before posting because they sounded confrontational when they were not meant to be.

Hey, I just wanted to say I appreciate you making a strong effort to shed light and truth on this issue. It's nice some issues can still be non partisan. Thank you.

DAS RITE

"children wearing MAGA hats who were causing no problems at all"

You obviously didn't watch the video.

I did. And it proves my point.

Sure, they were "causing no problems at all". Whatever you say, pal.

Explain to me what you saw in the hour long video where you saw them causing problems. You do realize even the fake news CNN and the majority of the leftists who accused them of hatred and racism are now recanting their stories, right?

You'll swallow any msm propaganda, huh?

No, I don't, which is why I don't accept this ridiculous narrative that the bullying racist kids were somehow the victims even though there are videos in which everyone can clearly see them being racist bullies.

What did they do that was racist? Who'd they bully? Obviously you only watched the edited tape. Go back to sleep, pleb.

You should watch the whole tape, not the edited right-wing deep state version.

You're the only one left in the world pushing your conspiracy theory lololol

How is it a conspiracy theory? Use your own eyes and brain.

That kid should sue your dumb ass.

Bring it, I could use the money

another MSM Covington Catholic High School narrative got debunked today (WaPo):
quote:
Earlier versions said that Native American activist Nathan Phillips fought in the Vietnam War. Phillips served in the U.S. Marines from 1972 to 1976 but was never deployed to Vietnam.

So did he actually claim to fight in Vietnam or just serve? I don't know if he lied or the MSM just assumed incorrectly.

dunno who made it up - but the WaPo published a 4-line-correction today lol

Check my link above if you are still wondering.

Covington students invited to White House amid death, arson & bomb threats

President Donald Trump has invited to the White House the Covington Catholic High School students who became the most hated people in the nation this weekend, while their school has been forced to close as threats keep pouring in.

Students from Covington, who became viral super-villains when a clip of them appearing to surround and mock a Native American elder was widely shared, will meet with Trump "as early as tomorrow," Fox News host Laura Ingraham initially reported on Tuesday – only to qualify the statement a few hours later with a note that any such meeting would take place "after shutdown." White House press secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed the invitation had been issued.

Meanwhile, students and parents at Covington were warned just hours before the start of classes on Tuesday to stay off campus for the day. The last-minute missive followed a letter to parents informing them that "the incident that took place at the March for Life in Washington, DC" was being investigated by an independent third party and advising them to contact the authorities in case of any threats.

The threats haven't stopped coming, even after the real story has come out. Nick Sandmann, "star" of the video, and several of his peers and their parents have been doxxed, and many of those who initially called for the kids' heads on a plate have been working overtime to dig up other incidents that might justify their hate.

Trial lawyer Robert Barnes has volunteered his services to parents looking to sue the New York Times and other outlets that fanned the flames of hatred, telling PJ Media that "anyone who doesn't correct and retract" the fake stories could expect to hear from him. Sandmann and his family hired RunSwitch PR – ironically run by a CNN employee – to offer "professional counsel" and release their own version of the weekend's events – sparking another round of attacks.
