Nick Sandmann’s Family Launches Attack on Media After Fake News Smear Campaign
Conservative Tribune ^ | 25 January 2019 | Ben Marquis

Following the media’s horribly distorted, biased reporting of a minor confrontation between a group of Catholic high school boys and a Native American activist, which helped fuel a hateful online lynch mob against the students, many have called for lawsuits to be filed against the media figures and outlets that perpetuated the false story.

One such lawsuit could be coming in the near future. The family of Nick Sandmann — the young man at the center of the media-fueled controversy — has reportedly hired a high-profile attorney who specializes in defamation, libel and slander lawsuits against the media.

The Sandmann family have retained the services of an Atlanta-based attorney named L. Lin Wood, who has quite a history of defending individuals and families wrongly accused and smeared by the media, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Thursday.

The news was announced in a release from the law firm of Hemmer DeFrank Wessels. Todd McMurty, an attorney with that firm, has already served as the family attorney for the Sandmanns.

“What happened to the other guy?”

Robert Barnes is supposed to be on Watters World this weekend. He is a serious attorney and from what I read a pretty conservative sort.

I think the Sandmann family wanted a personal attorney to represent them separately as their son has been singled out the most of the group.

Just in case you haven’t seen yet check out this YT Skrillex vid featuring one Nathan Phillips, who I heard was an executive producer on this. 2012 video but I bet most of the 382 million hits have been recent.

I hope all of the fine young lads get enough settlement money for their college education to be paid for.

They did the correct thing. When thugs act in a threatening way, it's often to test for vulnerability. If they had acted frightened or even insecure, they'd be identifying themselves as potential victims.

Lots of someones!

Every time you think it can’t get any worse, it does. Going after these boys the way they did can make one physically ill. I want to see every smug, arrogant commentator, celebrity, wannabe celebrity pay thru the nose.

I am a Roman Catholic.

I believe in Jesus Christ, He is my Lord.

He is my Savior.

But I, we, have been betrayed by a cabal of homosexual pederasts, who make a mockery of Christs courage, whose only mission is to protect the faith and the faithful, and yet cower before liars.

Even when the vile and evil Black Hebrews hurl accusations of pedophilia at us, we must take it, because it is true!

It is true because of them, the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church.

I too am Catholic. Those bishops behaved cowardly. I will always be catholic but am disgusted with church hierarchy from the pope down. And this is from someone with priests, nuns and brothers in the family.
