An investigation released Wednesday into an encounter between Covington Catholic High School students and Native American activists at the Lincoln Memorial last month largely supports the students’ accounts of the incident, which prompted immediate and widespread condemnation of the boys after a video of the encounter went viral.
A short video clip showed Nathan Phillips, playing a traditional drum, in an apparent standoff with student Nick Sandmann, who was wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat. The Diocese of Covington and Covington Catholic High School, which arranged the trip, were among those who initially condemned the boys’ actions in the video.
The report, prepared by Greater Cincinnati Investigation, Inc. and dated Feb. 11, employed four licensed investigators for approximately 240 hours to take statements from students and chaperones, as well as to interview third-party witnesses and review about 50 hours of video. Investigators were not able to interview either Phillips or Sandmann in person and instead reviewed the student’s written account.
The investigators said they found no evidence that the students responded in an offensive manner to the black Hebrew Israelites or that they chanted “build the wall.” After asking chaperones, they performed a school cheer, according to the report, to drown out the black Hebrew Israelites.

Not lookin’ good for Uncle Tom Tom and his “media” puppetmasters.
I guaradamntee this will not be on the evening news.
Here come da judge!!!!
Well, anyway, the boys’ tough lawyers are suing WAPO among other lefty news outlets. The Catholic Church? I’d sue them too and become a Methodist.
Drop the hammer on the ‘Progressives’ who tried to destroy these young men. It should be so severe as to send a clear message!
Will it be introduced into evidence at trial?
I wonder if the school has apologized yet to the students for condemning them before looking into all the facts?
What’s the penalty for the black Hebrews?
/s
I’m amazed the Washington Post would do more than a two line retraction... they benefit from the lies put out about conservatives...
LOL - yeah, that would be NOTHING... they get a pass.
We all have seen the video and know it is BS, but really I am getting so sick of this. Even if the kids had stood at a podium and screamed at the top of their lungs the “N-Word” through a megaphone at volume 11, since when is that a crime against humanity worthy of international media attention rather than a case of really bad manners?

Some great news!!!
The behavior of the Black Hebrew Israelites, on the other hand, is never to be judged as "offensive."
Obviously someone thinks that Black people exist only as a test for white people. "People of color," apparently, never have to face "tests" on how to treat other people.
think Duke lacrosse. Think Russian collusion.
