An example of media hype

[Duchess]

Rumor has it that Trump plans to invite smirking MAGA kid to the White House because why not?  We're in the darkest timeline.

Of course he did, the kid wears the mark of the beast and trump knows exactly what he is getting.

Leave me out of this shit will ya?

Jamie lee Curtis climbed aboard the tard train too.

I recently read that she apologized. Is an apology "climbing aboard the tard train" in your eyes?

Well ya! What was she doing on the tard train anyways? Playing choo-choo? come ride my caboose?


Don't worry more nuttiness is sure to come from the media circus.

What bothers me about this continually evolving story is that no one has stepped up to apologize for the other students behavior at this situation. The tomahawk hand gestures were not appropriate. In the least they could say what they could do better next time, what they could have done instead.
But now they have the support of a PR representative and the President. Sure an outside investigation is being done-but who is paying for that?
Even Nathan Phillips has admitted that he approached the group and at one point realized this and thought, "What have I done?" I don't recall himself saying he was a vietnam vet-that was circulated on line, but I didn't see or hear him say it. But now it is coming out that he is not a vietnam vet.
I absolutely hold the media accountable for taking unreliable sources from random people online and making a story about it.

[Rootilda]

I think that's splitting hairs, but it would be more accurate to say he was a Vietnam era veteran.  Four years in the USMC ain't nothing and he deserves our thanks for his service.

Correction: Earlier versions of this story incorrectly 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.

[MirahM]

Thank you for that correction. I didn't properly research the claims either!

look out libs, 1969 is here again

the blaze

the loons on the left are self destructing once again. I hope this kid gets hundreds of millions in damages. When Sandmann wins, and he will, it will be the catalyst that will open the flood gates just as the violence and deaths at Altamont did to the "counter culture" movement in 1969.

Good for him to bad the "internet jury" couldn't be sued.

Good for him to bad the "internet jury" couldn't be sued.

ah, but it will. when the media gets hit with multi million dollar lawsuits, and this will just be the  first, it will force the parent corporations to police the online mobs. my guess, lots of journalists get thrown under the bus on this to save the corporate ass that is in the sling.

I must admit, I smiled when I saw some of the names and remembered what they said. Yes there ought to be a price of this harmful ideological virtue signaling. Everything for the Progressive Left has been a hill to die on because they never had to "die" or face any consequence.

[MirahM]

This isn't against Sandman, but there is a part in the longer video where the Hebrew group asked the Catholic boys if there were any Niggers in their group and the boys said, "YES!" And they went and got their classmate who wasn't white. And then another kid said, "We have another one, but he is at home"
I wonder how those classmates feel about being called out like that? They still need to learn sensitivity and about other cultures.
Yes the media jumped to conclusions, but Sandman is going to be fine. He is white, Catholic and the president is on his side. What could go wrong?
I feel like I've already said this part before. Probably on Twitter.

[Fry Guy]

Oh fuck right off.
When you were a privileged little 16 yr old white girl, how would you have handle a horde of death threats to yourself and family and your school shut down due to threat level and have your community and church leaders tell you how scummy and immoral you are and tens of thousand of adults tell you that you are disgusting?

Yeah, fuck right off with that

[MirahM]

WTF? I wouldn't have let them call my classmates niggers. I get what you are saying, oh they are so fragile, little 16 year olds, boys don't know any better.
Give me a fucking break.
I suppose you think it is okay for all of them to do the tomohawk chop too.

People of color deal with that shit every day. Think about that for a second.

Trigered much Fry Guy?

[MirahM]

Do you want to know where my trigger is with this? My trigger is that if a girl gets raped-she gets asked, "What were you wearing?" What were you doing? Maybe she gets recorded doing something dumb-she gets blamed.
White Catholic boys get recorded doing something dumb and they are playing the victim card. Their care takers aren't telling them that they could have acted more civil in a public space, or that they could learn how to engage better with other cultures. They saw the cameras. They knew they were being recorded.
They are all fine, their reputations aren't tarnished.

[BigMark]

They were all calling each other racist names, when people piss you off you say what you think will hurt them the most it's human nature. I'm fat, people are still free to use that as an insult without major repercussions. Nigger, beaner, cracker, gook, etc. blah blah blah.

A "gasp" BLACK lady stopped me at the gas station last week, she said you are the only person taller than me, oh my god she was being "TALLEST" towards me the evil people measuring bitch! While filling her Suburban with oil the cap fell down into the hot engine bay hiding itself among the various hoses. I ignored her blatant "tallest" measurement profiling and retrieved the cap only by halfway climbing into her engine bay.

By telling you she was BLACK because of course that is irrelevant I must be a member of the KKK with an extensive Nazi collection in my bunker.

[MirahM]

The students were calling their fellow students racist names?

If the black Hebrew group said, "Do you have any sluts with you? " Or do you have any chinks with you" or any other name you could think of-do you think it appropriate for them to then go grab their fellow student and push him into the Hebrew group? This group they were supposedly afraid of.

[BigMark]

Everybody was stupid in that confrontation, if you can't see that I don't respect your opinion.

[MirahM]

I don't care if you respect my opinion.
You aren't answering my question. How does their fellow student who is black feel about being called out as a nigger? The black hebrew group was calling them crackers and the boys responded by saying no we aren't all "crackers" by fetching that one student that was with them. I get it. I really do. They were uncomfortable and didn't know how to respond. But they should take this as a learning lesson of how to act next time. Agree? Yes or no? Or should they just keep on doing whatever they want because they can?

Here is the part of the video I am referring to. Watch when the student gets called "Shorty" he wants none of it-and his fellow classmates push him to the front. You can't tell me that isn't fucked up. It should be starting at 1:18:51, or a little sooner.

[MirahM]

Those Hebrew guys are prett fucked up.
Every time I listen to this video I'm like, "WTF"
It is some fucked up shit.
