Nick Sandmann Wasn’t Supposed to Survive. He Was Meant to End Up Like Mike Adams.
The Stream ^ | 7-25-2020 | John Zmirak

Posted on 07/26/2020 3:04:27 PM PDT by KierkegaardMAN

Nick Sandmann just turned 18 years old. And he’s settling a $250 million lawsuit with major media outlets that libeled him.

I was prepping Robert Oscar Lopez’s powerful piece on Mike Adams for publication when I realized something chilling. Reading how the left hounded that talented writer to suicide (if indeed he wasn’t murdered) I heard in my head the media headline that never ran. Thanks be to God.

“Racist Ringleader, Nicholas Sandmann, Dead at 17.” That’s what the media mob wanted. They as good as admitted it. When powerful reporters call a young man’s face “the most punchable in America,” that’s what they mean. When columnists and activists propose “doxing” him, contacting every college he ever applies to, or job he tries to get, that’s what they mean.

When Sandmann’s own Catholic bishop threw him to the wolves, when his school suspended him, when “conservative” columnists at National Review and other venues denounced him as “bigoted,” they were writing him off for life. They were branding him on his face with the most destructive charge available in America. The charge that’s now burning cities and getting Trump supporters murdered.

Smiling While White All for what crime, exactly? For waiting for a bus after a pro-life demonstration. And smiling while white. For Sandmann standing his ground, when some “Indian tribal elder” confronted him with a war drum. Ah, but Sandmann and his friends were supposed to give way. They should have taken a knee. Maybe flattened themselves to form a human red carpet, so the “tribal elder” could walk all over them. You know, as cops in Portland and Chicago are apparently ordered to do, in the face of violent mobs.

One leftist after another pointed out Sandmann’s unforgivable sin. That he was smiling. He didn’t look terrified, guilt-struck, or even enraged. He was calm, confident, and amiable. Perhaps those character traits are now part of “white privilege,” as the Smithsonian now explains. I read at least a dozen columnists or reporters expatiate on that smile, comparing Sandmann to settlers who slaughtered Indians, or concentration camp guards...

The attack on Nick Sandman was somewhat of an attack on all pro life young people who had attended the annual March for Life. It’s possible that the leftist media saw an opportunity to intimidate other young people or their schools and thus keep them from attending. I believe the next year there was a normal size attendance.

I understand the family wanting to settle and move on with life. But WashcomPost was the most vicious to the CovCath kids.

I was hoping the family would force a trial, get the guilty verdict and compensation.

The every other CovCath student at that rally would line up in court with their guilty verdict resulting in forcing Bezo to bankrupt the comPost.

But again, I understand.

Conservatives and pro-lifers have an ace up their sleeve...I can’t be racist since murdering black babies isn’t racist..Then the pro-aborts use the “they aren’t human,they are fetuses”....

Soooo,you’re admitting when the supreme court said blacks weren’t human,that it was okay to rape them,hurt them or kill them???After all,they weren’t human just like the black babies aren’t human today..... You are admitting that it was okay to kill black people at one time....

“He didn’t look terrified, guilt-struck, or even enraged. He was calm, confident, and amiable.”

And in the photo/video that is shown the most, he isn’t even LOOKING at the goofy Indian. He’s definitely looking to the left of drummer boy.

I suspect the ongoing national outrage against White People by the mentally ill leftists is providing more leverage for Sandmann's lawyers in the settlement negotiations.

If I were on a jury of any of these cases, I would fight to get Sandmann the entire $250 Million from each and every outlet being sued. Every penny, or total ownership.

Ironically, he'll have marriage proposals from women of all colors.

Maybe National Review is on his “to sue” list.

Thanks for that photo, Yoe. The guy looks like a hit man. Tough to smile to that face. But Nick did.

****when some “Indian tribal elder” confronted him with a war drum. ****

So many supported the “chief” because the US whooped Indians so bad. (Guilt complex)
Come to find out the “Chief” was of the OMAHA tribe, a tribe so small they used the US and pro-US Pawnee tribes to protect them from the hostile Sioux. The US never had a war with the Omahas.

And the “chief” turned out to be quite a scoundrel himself.

Nor twist himself into pretzels, as timid “conservatives” d

I work nights as a security guard and listen to talk radio. After 0100 hrs Mike Gallagher is the only thing on. He is a "conservative" but he spends half or more of his time protesting that being a conservative doesn't mean that he is a mean nasty guy, or saying that the Virus lockdown is unconstitutional but everybody had better comply because the virus is REAL and if you don't wear your mask everywhere people will die. The guy is a pretty sorry conservative. Even Hannity feels he has to preface half of what he says by protestations that he isn't what the left claims he is. These people do not impress me as being sincere in their stated beliefs when they have to include all the fine print. They worry more about what a leftist might think than about their "principles."

A civil war and a war with China. China is also promoting the civil war with its huge number of fifth columnists and probably the most outright on-the-ground spies that any country has ever had in another country.

:-) Everything’s working for me now.

I was playing around with Settings right beforehand - so maybe I messed something up.

Big thanks to the Admin Mod who fixed it!

:) I’m glad you don’t have to hang in for another 18 years before you get full privileges.
