MAGA kids harass an elderly Native American

Those kids should take up President Trump's offer to visit the White House while their parents hire defamation lawyers. Go after these motherfuckers in the media.

Especially the bump stock of the hat.

Why do they need to adjust the size of the hat to stay stable and precise on their heads!?!?!?!?!?!?

But he was a vet. A refrigerator-repairing vet for 4 years. He mislead people until he went viral.
And the kid stood his ground.
There are a million old guys throwing around lies, a million young republicans believing in politics until they get wiser.

The real enemy here was the news, blowing it out of proportion.. during a time when 'fake news' is a thing.

Thing is that he wasn't serving in Nam this is what I am retaining and he should be prosecuted accordingly.

I don't think Nathan Phillips is the one who made the claim, so good luck with that, but why would you want to ruin an elderly man's life?

Lots of oldsters spin the truth into 'big fish' levels of bullshittery. We could indict every old man/woman in every country who has told a story of himself vs insurmountable odds. In fact, we should retroactively do that.
*poof, suddenly Zeus, Jesus, Allah and the others arent even a blip in history*
Ah, so what I am insinuating here, is that oldsters gonna be oldsters. Do I like old cockbags rattling up stories? No. But I realize the need for old people to feel like they did something glorious with their lives? Yes.
So, in a way.. I approve of their mostly harmless ramblings.
And I dont approve of the news doing background checks on old cockbags and making a confrontation that should be about the black Israelite megadouchebags... into an issue centered on a kid with a hat and an old guy with a drum.

Again, I think that in an age of 'fake news' accusations.. the news did themselves no favors.

 

[georges]

I don't think Nathan Phillips is the one who made the claim, so good luck with that, but why would you want to ruin an elderly man's life?

Because he is a liar, a sell out and lying about your military service is highly unethical, antiamerican and a serious felony.

Nathan Phillips didn't directly make the claim, convicting him would be difficult.

 

[Torre82]

I, and I should hope.. that many agree with this ~ in principle.
I also hope that it'd be a non-issue that someone like that is obviously not a 'recon ranger'. Some guy trying to represent the country and 'beef up' his resume got caught in a lie while he beats a drum and barely makes enough to live.
Being an old, opinionated sellout who broke the law.. that he is. But I wouldnt want him to get 3 meals and a bunk in prison on my dime.
Let him deal with the situation and live in more shame. (Do fools feel shame? Many dont... )

I know and I was a Green Seal.

Covington High student's legal team sues Washington Post


Attorneys representing the Kentucky high school student involved in a confrontation that went viral on social media last month announced Tuesday that they were suing The Washington Post for $250 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

The lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Kentucky, accused The Post of practicing "a modern-day form of McCarthyism" by targeting Nicholas Sandmann and "using its vast financial resources to enter the bully pulpit by publishing a series of false and defamatory print and online articles ... to smear a young boy who was in its view an acceptable casualty in their war against the president."

Washington Post spokesperson Kris Coratti told Fox News in an email that the paper was "reviewing a copy of the lawsuit, and we plan to mount a vigorous defense."

Sandmann, a junior at Covington Catholic High School, became a target for outrage after a video of him standing face-to-face with a Native American man, Nathan Phillips, while wearing a red "Make America Great Again" hat surfaced in January. Sandmann was one of a group of students from Covington attending the anti-abortion March for Life in Washington, D.C., while Phillips was attending the Indigenous Peoples' March on the same day.

Sandmann and the Covington students were initially accused of initiating the confrontation, but other videos and the students' own statements showed that they were verbally accosted by a group of black street preachers who were shouting insults both at them and a group of Native Americans. Sandmann and Phillips have both said they were trying to defuse the situation.

The lawsuit claims The Post "ignored the truth" about the incident and says the paper "falsely accused Nicholas of ... 'accost[ing]' Phillips by 'suddenly swarm[ing]' him in a 'threaten[ing]' and 'physically intimidat[ing]' manner ... 'block[ing]' Phillips path, refusing to allow Phillips 'to retreat,' 'taunting the dispersing indigenous crowd,' [and] chanting, 'Build that wall,' 'Trump2020,' or 'Go back to Africa,' and otherwise engaging in racist and improper conduct. ..."Sandmann's attorneys accuse The Post of publishing seven "false and defamatory" articles about the incident between Jan. 19 and 21 and claim the paper "knew and intended that its false and defamatory accusations would be republished by others, including media outlets and others on social media."

Earlier this month, Sandmann's attorneys sent preservation letters to more than 50 media organizations, celebrities and politicians -- including The Post, The New York Times, CNN, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and actors Alyssa Milano and Jim Carrey -- the first step in possible libel and defamation lawsuits.

Last week, investigators hired by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington concluded that the students did not instigate the confrontation with Phillips. Bishop Roger Foys, who initially condemned the students' behavior, wrote in a letter to parents that they had been "placed in a situation that was at once bizarre and even threatening."

good, go after them. The WaPo is just the first one on the list.

The lawsuit claims The Post "ignored the truth"

"knew and intended that its false and defamatory accusations would be republished by others, including media outlets and others on social media."

So, essentially the same thing Trump did to Obama regarding the birth certificate.

Maybe these attorneys would like to pursue that defamation case too.

 

[sean miguel]

go for it. and how would that qualify as defamation? What's wrong with being born in Kenya?

but then we are talking about a then sitting president and public figure vs. a 16-year-old boy.

 

[pool_hustler]

I'll presume the Kenya question isn't a serious one.

thankfully defamation isn't judged differently based on age and/or status. that would be extremely unjust.
