MSNBC (or their NBC affiliate) has an interview with Nick Sandmann.

They showed a clip. He's going to use the stand your ground defense. "I had every right to be there."

But he looks stoned/medicated. I don't think he believes it. I think he's been coached.

We DESPERATELY need Mall footage to see how that crowd surrounded the four black Israelites that were standing by a table.

just showed a clip. The kid has a multi-million dollar PR team turning him into a hero and victim, and NBC is helping.

Every square foot of that area is being filmed and monitored 24/7. Especially since 911.

Political zealotry is being taught at this school. They should lose their tax-exempt status. It's telling Covington is Pat Cipollone's alma mater. Is this why there was a WH invitation?

What high school junior really wants to spend their three-day weekend driving to DC to participate in a Right to Life march?

The adults made the trip appealing to students by encouraging the kids to act like hooligans. Put on the MAGA hats and yell and scream at libs.

The whole purpose of the Right to Life march is to yell and scream at libs.

The kids clearly enjoyed engaging with the Black Israelites - who were also there to behave outrageously - and their adult chaperones were clearly unconcerned.

His parents. His school administrators. The diocese PR people. Maybe (but probably not) his priest. It's a big-time fuckup, and damage control is at full speed.

Hope the little bastard enjoys his White House visit; count on trump to reward bad behavior.

If he was trying to diffuse the situation, he did the opposite. He could have stepped aside and told his friends to back off, allowing The Native drummers sone space to move on through. As a kid, I opened doors for elderly people and showed them respect because my mom taught us kids basic manners. He and his friends behavior was sickening.

He doesn’t say them because he’s already learned that white conservative boys and men never apologize for anything. It’s the entitlement.
