An excellent move:
Lawyers for Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann intend to sue the Native American activist who got the ball rolling on the agenda-driven smear campaign against their client and the rest of the Covington boys.
L. Lin Wood, an Atlanta-based attorney who
specializes in aggressive defamation suits against the media, told
LifeSiteNews on Friday that Nathan Phillips’ “lies and false accusations” against Sandmann and the other Covington students are “well documented” and he will be sued. He confirmed to PJ Media on Twitter Wednesday that he intends to sue Phillips.
Wood explained in a tweet last week that a sworn deposition from Phillips would "prove invaluable in obtaining justice" for his client.
An independent investigation released by the Diocese of Covington on February 11 completely exonerated the Covington Catholic High School boys of wrongdoing.
Four licensed investigators devoted 240 man-hours to the investigation, interviewing 43 students in all. They also reviewed over 50 hours of internet activity, including all the major news networks, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The investigators found that the statements from all of the chaperones and students were "remarkably consistent," but found that Phillips' public statements "contained some inconsistencies." They said they were not able to resolve the problems because they were unable to contact him.
Investigators attempted to reach Nathan Phillips by phone and email, but never got a response. They even traveled to his home in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and waited outside his house for six hours, but he wasn't home. They left a note and he never responded.
The Covington diocese had initially, without evidence, joined the social justice mob and condemned the teens for allegedly mocking Phillips. Later, the bishop said that the diocese "felt bullied and pressured" into condemning the teens too quickly.
Any time justice can be done in a case where identity-politics hustlers try to cause harm to innocent Christians, it's a fine thing to see.
When I was back there in Catholic school both in a fight were punished. This MAGA boy's mommy and daddy go out and get him a lawyer. That'll teach him, huh?
ReplyDeleteHe was innocent and this Phillips scumbag lied about their encounter.
ReplyDeleteWhat would you have them do?
ReplyDeleteConsult scripture. Just google lawsuits Jesus.
ReplyDeleteNo, you spell out what you mean.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks, you look it up. It's well known what Jesus had to say. It's only relevant because these Catholics are privileged and self-righteous snobs.
ReplyDeleteOh, for cryin' out loud. He's bought into the "privileged" horse shit.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty horrifying to see your contempt for these innocent kids/
ReplyDeleteYou don't think anybody reading this comment thread is not going to conclude that you don't really embrace your position, because you can't be bothered to defend it?
ReplyDeleteCatholic children should be seen and not heard. Lose the MAGA hats if you are purporting to represent your church. JFK went to great lengths to convince skeptical Baptists and other denoms that he would put America first, quietly, strongly and confidently, with vision. He never wore a hat nor his religion on his sleeve.
ReplyDelete40K to go to Covington Catholic where 98% of the students go on to college smacks of a bit of privilege but admittedly that's only half of what it costs at a lot of private schools. Brebueuf is 64K and Park Tudor is 80K.
ReplyDeleteCorinthians 6 and Matthew 18 for starters. You're sure quick to throw the book at gays.
ReplyDeleteAnd where did I show contempt for "these innocent kids?" By the way, no kid where I went to Catholic school in the 50s and 60s was ever considered innocent on much of anything.
ReplyDeleteBoth 1 Corinthians 6 and Matthew 18 deal with disputes between believers - brothers and sisters in the faith. Phillips is anything but. He's a liar and an identity-politics hustler.
ReplyDeleteAs I say with a fair amount of frequency, the Left is waging war on Western civilization, and so the West's defenders must treat this as wartime. Especially those who get publicly lied about.
These days you get what you pay for, and it's quite a lot, quite often prohibitive for the average Joseph. And everybody knows about the financially privileged who are now graced to be able to afford Catholic education for their children.
ReplyDelete"Less than 50 years ago, most Catholic school education was free. Institutions were financed through “Living Endowments” and heavy church subsidies. The “Living Endowments” were the religious men and women who worked in the Catholic system. They lived in community and led an extremely inexpensive lifestyle while providing work hours well beyond the typical forty-hour work week. The financial subsidies came when, in real dollars, more money was being donated to the church by a larger base of loyal donors, and there were fewer competing causes and organizations within the church itself."

So they'll know we are Christians by our hats?
ReplyDeleteLuke 11:46 "Woe to you as well, experts in the law!"
ReplyDeleteMatthew 5:39 "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
ReplyDeleteYet, according to bloggie, "a fine thing to see."
ReplyDeleteThere are at least 3 lawyers, one a high rolling LA hotshot who have sent out over 50 threat letters to various individuals, businesses and institutions, including the Diocese. That's the way you do it, get the best education money can buy and sue the pants off anyone perceived to get in your way. Make America and Christianity great again!
ReplyDeleteOh, stop it. Do you really want to go on record as saying, "Jesus condemned the legal profession!"?
ReplyDeleteAnd what it costs to go to a Catholic school has nothing to do with anything. Those boys were standing on the curb waiting for their bus and this charlatan walks right up to them ,loudly banging his drum loudly and stared right at them nose to nose. After that incident was over, he tried to disrupt Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
He's poisonous. He's the enemy.
And "turn the other cheek" does not mean "shrink away from setting right things that are wrong."
