Think of all the people who get smeared by the media and do not have the President of the United States standing-up for them.
To: Red Badger
GOOD!!! Perhaps President Trump is getting his own voice back! It's pretty obvious what the agenda was. The media took a situation, twisted it beyond recognition, and were going to use it to turn the MAGA hat into a hate symbol.
Now, President Trump, if you follow us: SIGN AN EO FOR TWO YEARS OF THE WALL. Then, the dems can sit down or take total blame, because nothing would be accomplished by keeping up their attempt to force President Trump to abandon his supporters!

Over ONE HUNDRED profs at Duke signed a public document, condemning the boys.
At the trial black people in the audience were openly TELLING the families of the boys they were going to kill them, giving their addresses to prove they knew where to go.

Sandmann said in a statement Sunday that initial reports about the confrontation were based on "misinformation" and "outright lies." Not just initial reports, the misinformation and lies continue.
Also, don't for a moment believe the misinformation and lies were put out there by accident. It was 100% intentional. The people standing around taking the pictures and video were there and saw what really happened. They chose to post and spin it as a lie anyway.

So will next year’s March For Life! Probably the intent of the smear the whole time. Ruin their lives so others are afraid to show up and support their cause.

Actually, her name was Crystal
Mangum, although it was widely quoted as Crystal
Magnum at the time.
Ms. Mangum is currently serving a prison term for second-degree murder.

Malania should visit the school as part of her BE BEST program congratulating the students in handling the bullies without violence.

And think about this folks. At the end of last year the media was giving themselves all these courage awards for being under assault. Trump was the greatest threat to the First Amendment in the history of this country.
Who is the threat, those who question power or those who abuse it?
The First Amendment conveys upon the press a great power that should come with a great responsibility. They have abused that power beyond all comprehension. And their response? You watch, in the coming days they will circle the wagons and THEY will claim victimhood.

.. handling the bullies without violence With all due respect and admiration for Melania, most of recorded history, along with my own experience, maintain that the above is very rarely possible and/or effective.

Re: 100% intentional
My bet, as well.
As lawsuits proceed, it will be interesting to see what the depositions and discovery reveal.

With all due respect, how effective was Daniel?
That young man looked like the proverbial Daniel in the Lion’s Den. And to read his description of events, which none have reason to doubt at this point, I would suggest that surely the Lord was with him, strengthening him.
Doing Right is a powerful statement that can awaken shame in even those who seem hopelessly lost. You will not save Chief Crying Wolf or the foul-mouthed Blacks who were “protesting” inventions of their own, tiny minds, but some on the Left are, I believe reached by the shameful treatment of these boys and their courageous stand.
P.S. The President’s tweet is almost poetry. I hope his words come true.
To: Red Badger
Another daily example of the corrupt fake news dispensing any false narrative they can in a knee jerk fashion.
The media is starting to notice that they have NO credibility in the real world.

I live in Austin, but am originally from Northern Kentucky (Villa Hills). I am in the Detroit airport, after having spent the weekend in NKY helping my brother settle the estate of an aunt who passed away. My brother and I are both graduates of CCH.
My niece was at the March for life, as was another niece's boyfriend - she attends Notre Dame (CCH's sister school) and he was in the group of CCH students.
This is what happened.
The students had free time, and were to meet at the Memorial to get on the buses to head home. As the joined a group of African Americans started to taunt them, an call the 'racists' and 'faggots', because some of the had on MAGA hats. They responded by doing loud school cheers.
CCH is a small school of about 500. Nearly all of the students are in the 'spirit club', and they have very well choreographed cheers - they recently won State in both football and basketball (and basketball is NOT broken down into districts by school size). They were voted as the having the best student section.
After beginning to do school cheers, they were approached br Mr Phillips and his drum. Initially they thought he was joining them with his drum, and they cheered him on. It was only after he got into Mr Sandmann's face, and played inches from his face, that they figured out that he was actually antagonizing him. When they did, and Mr Sandmann did not get intimidated, they started to cheer on Mr Sandmann. Mr Sandmann actually turned to one of the students next to him, and asked them to be quiet, because Mr Phillip's was still chanting.
These students in general, and Mr Sandmann specifically acted with the greatest amount of integrity and respect!! I am proud to be a graduate of CCH and today ordered some new CCH shirts to wear around Austin!
I will be writing letters to the Principal of CCH (who is a very good guy) and the diocese expressing my lack of support for their lack of support. But right now I support CCH 'with a spirit that will not die!' (from the school song).
