I am getting a lot of positive feedback for this thread being up. A lot of people can’t seem to find a discussion for this topic that is grounded in reasonable emotions, and that is frustrating for them. They have the entire World Wide Web at their fingertips, but can’t find a forum that seems grounded in reality.

That’s why I’m very happy to help make this an informative, funny and thoughtful topic. Please let me know if I can improve the OP by the way.

Update: Here is an introduction of all this from the perspective of one of the students who was there.
Hello Local 12 News. At the present time, I have an urgent request that truly is of the utmost importance, a request that supersedes my entire being and applies to the integrity of all Americans. You have probably seen or heard of the video of students wearing MAGA gear supposedly "harassing," "bothering," and "jeering at" a Native American veteran. This is not true and taken entirely out of context. I am a student at Covington Catholic and was present at the occurrence. Here is what truly happened:

Every year, my school attends the March for Life in DC and afterward tours the city. Our chaperones and teachers told us to be at the Lincoln Memorial at 5:30 to be ready for the buses to pick us up. 5:30 came around and we were all gathered at the Memorial. As we are an all-male school that loves to get hyped up (hence our cheer section's name, "Colonel Crazies"), and as we have done for years prior, we decided to do some cheers to pass time. In the midst of our cheers, we were approached by a group of adults led by Nathan Phillips, with Phillips beating his drum. They forced their way into the center of our group.

We initially thought this was a cultural display since he was beating along to our cheers, and so we clapped to the beat. He came to stand in front of one of my classmates who stood where he was, smiling and enjoying the experience. However, after multiple minutes of Mr. Phillips beating his drum directly in the face of my friend (mere centimeters from his nose), we became confused and started wondering what was happening. It was not until later that we discovered they would incriminate us as a publicity stunt. As a result, my friend faces expulsion for simply standing still and our entire school is being disparaged for a crime we did not commit. To reiterate, we did not partake in any physical or verbal abuse, did not chant "build the wall" or mock or anything of the like, and did not seek to incite violence.

After that initial occurrence, we were then verbally assaulted by four or five African-American men who called us "faggots" and berated one of our African-American students for being friends with us. The truth needs to come out. I pray that you read this and can speak for us who are silenced by the media. Here is video evidence of Nathan Phillips approaching the group of Covington Catholic students, showing that we did not approach him but he approached us(https://twitter.com/i/status/1086681831804674048); the later half of the occurrence showing Phillips' group inciting debates as well as harassment of the students by another group; and a second video of the harassment of students (https://twitter.com/i/status/1086796421226029056).

As you can see by these videos, the true story is quite different from that portrayed by the media. A great injustice has been done, and it is our duty to see that the truth prevails. Additionally, Mr. Phillips has a history of claiming racial harassment. I am by no means disparaging his credibility, but this should be taken note of.

Links to many other videos of the same day, showing the black israelites....doing black israqelite things idk

https://www.wkyt.com/content/news/V...ng-Native-Americans-goes-viral-504596501.html

"WASHINGTON, DC (WKYT) - A video that has been widely shared on social media has sparked outrage against a Northern Kentucky High School.

According to FOX 19, the video shows a student standing and smirking directly in front of a Native American as he drums and sings, while a larger group of students, some wearing clothing that appears to bear the insignia of Covington Catholic High School, surrounds the man, jeering and chanting.

Social media posts from people at the scene say the Native American man was participating in the Indigenous Peoples March.

Posts on Covington Catholic’s Instagram page shows students from the school were in Washington, DC at the time, participating in the March for Life. The school’s social media platforms have since been restricted.

Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes voiced her disapproval of the behavior in a tweet reading, “As we prepare to celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his work to ensure equality for all through nonviolent civil disobedience sadly still applies today. Kentucky, we are better than this.”

She has also released a statement calling on Covington Catholic High School to denounce the incident.

Covington Catholic has not issued a statement at this time."

Facebook page The Other 98% posted a bunch of info

Also they renamed the school to Covington Catholic White Entitlement High hyuk hyuk

Update:
They have barely lost any steam. Still trying to doxxxxx a bunch of high school kids, Lionizing Mr. Phillips, and another reference to deep-south Dixie days.

Not pictured, but if you guys use social media to bring up any counter-narrative about Phillips’ actions toward the kids, or the overreaction toward the kids in general, I’d be very careful. They are out for blood.

The principal, the teachers, the main few spotlighted boys smirking, they have all been named and targeted. The situation is approaching nuclear.

Looks like the kid isn't gonna apologize. Good. https://hotair.com/archives/2019/01/22/covington-catholic-student-nick-sandmann-every-right-stand/

That Indian can get fucked. That school or any organization better not let him anywhere near kids he isn't related to ever again.

I've seen a number of journalists try to spin this around saying it proves how dangerous social media is.
It was journalists pushing this story with bad information and if it wasn't for social media 99% of people would still be demanding these kids' heads on pikes.
I'm now fully convinced twitter is just /pol/ for lefty normies... complete with exto posting

I always remember the first article I read that I knew was a lie.

I don't remember my first one, there have always been plenty of examples. But the one I remember most is Balloon Boy. My first reaction afterwards was, "How in the fuck did I believe this was real?" But then I remembered I had been smoking multiple bong hits while watching the news. My second reaction then was, "But wait...why did the entire mainstream media fall for this?"

Lastly, you have the person who is going to say "the media is lying and colluding to push propaganda and here's the reality". In the past, they were called crackpots, conspiracy theorists, tin foil hatwearers or just nuts. Perhaps some of them were.
The vast majority of them are crackpot conspiracy theorists. Or at least supremely dumb.

Lying requires someone to sincerely believe they're telling a falsehood. At least 90% of the people pushing these narratives believe they're telling the truth.

And there's almost certainly no collusion. No words need to be exchanged between the various parties pushing this story for them to come to the same conclusion: that the white kids were at fault. Culture is plenty explanation.

Alleging that these people are colluding is the death knell to getting the truth out.

The distinction between an aggressive SJW culture encouraging people to come to the same conclusion (that whitey is at fault) versus collusion is more important than it seems.
 
"Fast, profoundly stupid tweet?"

Bitch, you went and got a fucking picture for it.

This dude came up with the tweet, then went looking for a fucking picture of it. Then attached the picture to the tweet.

And then he posted it.

Nowhere in this whole process did he pause and think "is it maybe a little out of line to want kids thrown into woodchippers because their parents sent them to a school I don't like?"

Apparently not.

It wasn't that quick or that thoughtless a process, though.

This fucker wanted some kind of woke prize for that shit.
The best part is if you put them head first they won't scream as much. Because you know, they die instantly. You do FEET FIRST.

Fucker fucked that up.

Marvin once again showing he's a part of ZOG.
 
Maybe if the Indians built walls around their settlements they wouldn't have lost...
Actually the Comanche when they were facing the Republic of Texas under President Lamar were getting cucked so hard by their no-set-border philosophy that they started asking for a border, at which point we invited most of their chiefs to Austin then killed them afterwards we got invaded by them in revenge and they had a good run before the Texan army destroyed their entire warband at which point they never fucked with Texas again and only raided Mexico afterwards until America came and genocided all of them

This is why there's no indians in Texas.

That's exceptionally naive, but good for you for having hope that journalists aren't complete scumbags.

I don't think they're not complete scumbags.

I just think they all think the same way because they're part of the same cultural circlejerk.

I think it took whoever clipped that initial video clip, started tweeting it, and all the jerkoffs who think exactly the same way started salivating.

I refuse to believe no journalists at these major publications thought to see other camera angles, reach out to the other parties involved, wondered why the clip was so short, and check into proof of his military background. This doesn't even broach the fact that this should be a nonstory about protesters and counter protesters briefly clashing if it was accurate as originally presented.
 
That archive doesn't work for me, so in case it doesn't work for anyone else here's an archive.fo version.
How fucking exceptional do you have to be to call out for putting kids in a woodchipper, and then think "Oops, I hadn't really thought it out. I just instinctively did it." And somehow think that actually improves people's perception of you.

and this is where i disagree. if it was essjaydubbya culture doing it we would have the whole "he tried to rape me" shit. this is very different this is for lack of a better word ((MSM))) showing its true colours. the media and the elite came out swinging on these kids at the very idea that they did not kneel before the indian elder and worship the ground he walked on.

they could have looked for the full footage and i am sure many media did, then cut a 'for facebook' minute chunk out and a few screenshots and ran with that knowing the insane response they would get. they had fucked up bad twice in two weeks this would have been the for sure killer. apparently not.

Its religious thinking when you get right down to it. True believers will see the face of Saint Theresa in a cinnamon bun because their brains are keyed up to it. They will then take said cinnamon bun, put it in a vacuum sealed chamber, and use it as a votive artifact for spiritual worship. I know its been commented on in the past that intersectional social justice has taken the place of more traditional religions for people, particularly people in intellectual disciplines like Journalism. This whole incident really just confirms it. The rush to judgement, the absolute reflexively need to accept a narrative that comports with the dogma and refusing to consider there even is an alternative shows that its a religion.
 
Marvin is right, these people are just overly eager sensationalist scumbags with low journalistic standards and a political bias. It's not like they're twiddling their waxed moustaches in secret meetings and making plans to oppress right-wingers and put everyone's kids on HRT.

Negligence is different from collusion. I know it really shouldn't be, but it is.

I mean, c'mon, look at the tweets we're seeing when the full video comes out. "this new video still doesn't exonerate them, >:("

In order to prove collusion, we need to get some tweets between some faggot at NYT and CBS saying "lol I know the full video's out there, but don't worry about that".

In an ideal world, the difference between collusion and unjustifiable negligence is worthless. No one should ever argue "well... they were just super fucking negligent, that's better, right??"

But unfortunately, we do live in that world, so precision in our phrasing is important.

I don't think that they collude in the traditional sense of sitting around a table and deciding what they'll do. Not when it's live news anyway. But I can absolutely attest to them doing it when it's a print situation.
But they actively decide to be duplicitous to serve a narrative and they know that their MSM friends will absolutely back them up. It's by-proxy collusion, but it's still collusion. That's what I mean by lying by omission or exaggeration. If the means serve the end, then you bet they won't do their due diligence in fact checking. It's supposed to be news reporting, not gossip mongering. They know exactly what the power of media and the power of numbers in the media mean. The collusion is in the culture of the media, not in the specific event.

People who question the media's narrative, official narratives etc may seem like crackpots (I'm not referring to those that are actually crazy, like say, Dallas Goldbug style people, I mean people who have an ounce of intelligence, like someone like Dr Judy Wood or John Lear), but if you don't question, then you're not doing your own personal due diligence.

It's the same with mechanics fleecing dumb broads who walk in and get conned into getting everything done that they don't need.
You have to take responsibility for yourself. You can't expect others to be truthful. Even the government. Even the media. You have to strive for your own knowledge, because that's a powerful tool. Even if people do think that's crazy. I personally think being lazy and accepting what others say is pretty fucking crackpot personally.
 
I know its been commented on in the past that intersectional social justice has taken the place of more traditional religions for people, particularly people in intellectual disciplines like Journalism.

Aggressive secularism that chases religion out of all public places may have left people with a void of meaning that they fill with things that are often, ironically, even worse than the religion they got rid of is supposed to have been.
