Political Discussion
Do you even understand the basics ofmhr law? Besides, this Kid won’t sue. He hired a crisis management firm to spin a bunch of lies that sheep will listen to. And when he grows up, he will probably be on the Supreme Court like the other recent public example of white, wealthy, entitled Catholic kids. |
If you are referring to this child's apparent physical "strength", you're wrong. While I agree he demonstrated some strength of character, based on subsequent footage of him, he appears to be pretty scrawny. |
And, he goes on NBC Today and continues to lie. https://www.today.com/news/nathan-phillips-talks-today-show-s-savannah-guthrie-about-viral-t147369 This interview just angers me. Guthrie did a horrible job. She essentially made excuses for him. Did she ask HIM if he believes he owes anyone an apology? Did he see his own fault in any way? No. Did she ask HIM if he thought it was a good idea to do his chants where he did? No. Did she ask HIM if he believes him approaching these students might have been perceived as aggressive? No. Did she ask HIM if he could see where the students might find their actions threatening? No. I don't believe a f'ing word he says. And, NBC truly shows its bias in these two conflicting interviews. |
DP, here. I was really appreciating this reply until you inserted the insult at liberals. I so wish we could get beyond name calling and debate issues on their merit. |
The bigotry against affluent white Catholics is over the top on this thread. And they call conservatives bigots? hah! |
Sorry, but it's what I've seen all over this thread. Sounds like you might be a more reasonable liberal, but the outrage that liberals are foisting on this is definitely because liberals automatically side with minorities over whites, even when the minority person is so obviously more to blame. |
To your question (in bold). In the clip you posted, she did ask him if he thought he should have walked away. His answer, IMO, is suspect based on actual footage. But, to be fair to NBC, the question was asked. |
Maybe it would comfort the pp to hear that Kentucky is ranked #44 in the country for wealth. Maryland, where Kavanaugh hails from, is #1. Sleep easy tonight. |
This information is posted on the dcum home page from the perspective of a teacher from the DC schools and why she was leaving her job. The DC folks here have a lot of nerve and are willfully ignorant to attack a kid for smirking when the kids in the DC community are straight up thugs, rapists, and violent in the school system. |
|
And I know DC residents and posters know this. They are enabling a violent generation and the posters here are NOT sending their kids to these schools in DC.
They’d send their kids to Covington Catholic before they’d do that. And they know it. |
I hear you. And thank you for responding. I believe most of us are guilty of this at some time, or another. As an Black man, you've made me think about this from a different angle. I wonder what my community's response would be if this was a 16yo Black boy and an elderly White man wearing a MAGA hat approached him in a similar manner. Btw, I'm not a liberal (though there's obviously nothing wrong with the term). I am a solutionist. |
Oh, I do know the law. If the above PP will go after the boy who committed no crime (s)he will be sued for a harassment and a defamation of character. We have the whole event recorded, nothing of what adults started is the fault of these kids. |
Here are Guthrie's words to Sandmann..., "There is something aggressive about standing there. Standing your ground. You both stood your ground. And it was like a stare down. What do you think of that now when you think about that moment." Let's recall that Phillips came up to him. Yet, she never asked Phillips if he could see how a man chanting and banging a drum approaching a group of teens might be perceived as an act of aggression. |
You're welcome. You ARE a reasonable liber.....oops, solutionist. I especially liked that you've thought about this from a different angle by "switching the colors" around. Your example is a good one. I would bet that fair-minded people would (rightly) defend a black kid who did nothing other than give a slight smirk to an older white guy who got in his face and said to go back to Africa. (The Native American said something like that to the white kid about going back to Europe.) What has bothered me about this entire episode is the inordinate blame placed on the white kids, specifically because they are white (can't control that), an affluent home (can't control that), and pro-life (entitled to his opinion). It's nice to engage with someone like you. I've been called some horrid and unfair names on these site by liberals, and that probably accounts for my hostility. I've got to remind myself not to lump everyone together. |
Your world is much bigger, PP, than those of many posters on this forum. We moved our kids out of a "good" system b/c as insiders (two-teacher HH), we saw the system imploding. A smirk is a joke compared to what I've seen, yet the posters are offended. It cracks me up and makes me grateful that I know the truth. a smirk - so cute! |
