I have left two messages with a local station about the disgraceful reporting of this story. I tried to call the school to voice support. Only a busy signal.

Life outside the internet, you know.

Well in all fairness I think the above might inspire the kid to video himself punching his own face.

Twitter has suspended an account that helped a widely publicized encounter between Catholic high school school students and a Native American man go viral.
CNN Business reported on Monday that Twitter took the step after receiving questions from the news network about the account.
The account, @2020fight, posted a minute-long video of the interaction on Friday night with the caption, "this MAGA loser gleefully bothering a Native American protester at the Indigenous Peoples March."


According to a cached version of the video seen by CNN, the post garnered at least 2.5 million views and at least 14,400 retweets. The network notes that the partial video of the incident had been previously posted on Instagram, but that the caption from @2020fight helped promote it to widespread attention.
@2020fight claims to belong to a California schoolteacher. However its profile photo is of a blogger based in Brazil, according to CNN, which noted that Twitter's guidelines explicitly prohibit "fake and misleading accounts."
"Deliberate attempts to manipulate the public conversation on Twitter by using misleading account information is a violation of the Twitter Rules," a Twitter spokesperson told The Hill.

The problem is not Zippy, Twitter, CNN or the fake news. The problem is a crazy society.

Pure CYA, this just got so big they had to do something to counter the optics. The people running Twitter don't care if one or more of these kids get killed.

Phillips is an odd last name for a Native American.

I know a Jewish guy that, by just looking at him, you'd wager your children is a Native American. But nope, russian Jewish from Brooklyn.

Just sayin...

Things aren't always what they seem.


eta: So the two main characters in this story are Stanard and Sandmann. Indeed, things are not what they seem. But it's easy to trigger the gullible masses with a few moments of video and a bunch of talking heads.

What about the school they attend? If it were me I would remove my children from that school.

No, the problem is Zippy, Twitter, CNN and the fake news..

Certainly a lot of the blame falls on the individuals for believing that the mainstream media and leftist activists on twitter have any credibility, but they are such a monolith that a lot of people have been unable to figure it out.

The msm presents themselves as pillars of integrity. When they show a 10 second clip and draw a report from one side that has a lot of information not provided in the clip, then present it all as fact to millions of people, that is extremely irresponsible and dangerous.

Twitter bans conservatives for essentially nothing, and then when people on the left do something 100x as bad they almost never act. That is a signal to the left that because of their beliefs they are allowed to act poorly.

They are all very responsible.

Los Angeles DJ Calls For Covington Catholic School to be Burned Down – With Kids Locked Inside – TWITTER SAYS HE DIDN’T VIOLATE RULES

Another self loathing, white, piece of $#@!.

In any race motivated violence it's going to be poisoned filth like this $#@! that is going to the biggest problem and loudest voices for white extermination.

The left is crazy, they will follow you anywhere.. I would get together with other parents and hire private security.

Even though the incident never happened, the left is still in full fury after the school and kids.

And they, the left, are supporting an "official" SPLC "hate group".

Yet, subsequent videos show that the students were not only approached by Philips first, but were verbally accosted by a religious group, Black Hebrew Israelites, which have been labeled by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group.

The problem is not guns or liquor but what people do with them. Are you saying that speech should be restricted?

No, not by the government, but decent people should speak out against those who abuse it.

Trump is bringing the Covington kids to the White House (Ingraham said as early as tomorrow).

Thank God.

[Schifference]

No, not by the government, but decent people should speak out against those who abuse it.

The majority of people which is the crazy left, will want the government to intervene. They want everything the way they want it and you be damned. So when a clip is edited to make something look like it is not, we do need to shed light on it. Let the left burn themselves. Let CNN burn themselves. Let Zippy burn himself. Zippy is not going anywhere unless by force. If he were going to leave it would have been a long time ago. But allow them the freedom to do what they want just as you want the freedom to do what you want. Otherwise we become just like them. These people are truly mentally ill. How could anyone support HRC and cry that she lost? These people do not have independent thought.

That school is closed today .

That school is closed today .

What my point was in regards to the school was I would remove my kid from the institution altogether. They were quick to rush to judgement. I would not have my child go there.

AIM spokesman , some guy named Lance Soto says AIM will not picket the school , just the diocese so says the washington times . washington redskins interviewed by washington times , imagine that .
