Orrr how about the ADULT native americans behaving like morons at kids. Good god you fucks lost your minds. The kid nothing other than stand there.

My Mom taught me that it costs nothing to move out of the way of someone, even if you had the right to be standing where you were. She also taught me that no matter how someone behaves, you don't use their bad actions to justify your own in response. She also taught me to respect those that are older than me, even if they are assholes. If our son had done what this kid did and I saw that picture in the paper with that look on his face, when he got home his ass would be grass and I would be the lawnmower.

No, instead his parents sued because their poor little boy made the news for being an asshole.

Heh..."Spin", "doctored videos" - not surprising - But, alas, reality is a touch different.

Had this kid and his parents released a statement regretting his involvement in this incident, asked to be left alone to resume his life as a child and just went away, the kid would have my full support. Instead his parents hired a Republican PR firm founded by Mitch McConnell's former aide, made the rounds in the right wing media to become the victim and poster boy for identity politics, and went on to attempt to cash in and sue the media outlets that covered the news. But, once again, reality is different.

Fortunately the judge in this case was not buying an attack on free speech and the right to report the news. Hopefully the other lawsuits will meet the same fate.

Plenty of schools have field trips to DC. When most schools do it, it's so the kids can visit museums and monuments and be exposed to other educational opportunities. Maybe these christian schools and parents will think twice about busing a bunch of underage, immature children out of state to harass women at an abortion rally during a government shutdown loaded with unhappy protesters, ultimately to be used as pawns for the schools political causes.

The conservative mantle of victimhood must be really snuggly... A warm comforter of delusion. You'll wear this one for awhile, put it down for another, come back to it the next time there's court action. And you'll fall for it every time. The kid will probably be old enough to drink before the right wing noise machine milks it dry.

Honestly we should not be attacking him for his conduct at the rally, but his conduct afterwards was absolutely reprehensible. We should all agree on that?

I love how the people who constantly complain about frivolous lawsuits have no problem with someone attempting to sue for three quarters of a billion dollars because they think the media reported on them wrong.



It's good to see that you agree the kid should not have been attacked for his conduct at the rally. Now, why do you think his conduct afterwards was absolutely reprehensible? Do you think this high school kid masterminded the lawsuit effort? He doesn’t look that smart to me. Or do you think his parents, attorneys, the school, the GOP and others are using him as a political pawn like he was used in the incident.

He didn't come across as some blameless child in the Vid, did he? He mocked Philips. If you want to say that was right, that you wouldn't demand better of your own, have at it. The fact that his family is pursuing this tells us where he learned to act that way, too.

Please. They were just entitled teenage jerks who weren't properly supervised. Their parents are apparently jerks, too, for trying to cash in on the WaPo.

If my children had ever acted like that I sure as Hell wouldn't be suing anybody over it. I don't have the chutzpah.

So you support adults going around trying to intimidate and racially harass teenagers? I guess they were asking for it? I hope you're never on a jury for a rape case.

This is why they hired a PR firm and retained legal counsel. Did nothing to those adults and got death threats and harassed 24x7 for their troubles.

Don't forget the others adults verbally abusing them with racial slurs. I guess it's ok when the right kind of racists harass people.

Time to revive this thread! Nick Sandmann had his suit against the Washington Post dismissed by a federal court judge.

I guess they never taught reading comprehension to Nathan in that fancy school of his. If I was his parents I would ask for a refund but I don't think his parents are that intelligent either.

I'm assuming you mean Nick, not Nathan.

The legal analysis I've seen indicates that the federal judge overstepped in a rather obvious way and that a reversal is highly likely. A good overview:


Of course even if Sandmann wins his appeal, anything after that is far from certain. Press freedom is a high bar to overcome, and it will be an uphill battle.

But you do come across extremely poorly with the reading comprehension quip considering your apparent state of ignorance regarding the proceedings. "Something happened that on the surface looks like a point for my team! This seems like the perfect time to insult the intelligence of my political enemies!" Insufferably smug. If Sandmann wins his appeal, will you denigrate your own reading comprehension?

I thought you labeled people "socialist."

Not that it matters.
I do, but socialism doesn’t necessarily have a negative connotation.

@Jhhnn’s facecrime concern is simply Orwellian.

I am also glad we’re now celebrating that a judge was willing to excuse the press for misrepresenting facts to advance a click driven narrative.

Yeah, you sound very concerned.

I happen to note that no one charged the kid with a crime, so your point is pretty well undermined there.

If I'm standing somewhere that I'm allowed to be and someone gets in my personal space and bangs a drum in my face I might smirk at him too. Or get physical. You don't get to do that to people.

Or you could choose not to be a dickhead.

Or at least other people have that choice. You might be stuck.

Not really, but I appreciate yours. You are correct. A bunch of alarmist whiners passing judgment on some kid is not the same as charging someone with a crime.
