What makes you think they got anything near that? I think more likely they got a truly nominal settlement (attorneys’ fees, silence, and maybe $50 to make them go away). That way both sides win ... CNN doesn’t have to pay expensive lawyers to fight a lavishly funded fishing expedition, and the white supremacists get to claim victory because after all they got a settlement.
Yet another lie. Phillips himself stated that he insinuated himself between the black Israelites and the Covington kids. The video clearly shows that Phillips approached the group directly
The mob’s actions explain why Phillips approached the mob, and the mob’s open mockery of Phillips put the photos and videos of Sandmann and the media coverage of the event in context.
And another lie
Why would a big-time attorney, representing sandman, we're all the facts lineup in his favor settle?
“Leaving his gathering”? He (unlike the Covington kids) had a permit for the Lincoln Memorial. Which is where he remained the entire time. By your rules, his freedom to gather means he cannot be criticized no matter how he acts ... right?
I never said that. My position is very simply, don't make it up, which you are
Those comments were posted after your unsupported allegation of racial and religious mockery.
And he stopped approaching when the kids failed to retreat.
Which tenants would you be assessing? Please put it in the context of your slander of the supposed white supremacist
The kids have no obligation to retreat they're standing in a public place. Phillips had no business insinuating himself in their area
The facts were NOT in his favor. In fact a similar lawsuit against the Washington Post was dismissed out of hand because the facts plainly did not support the plaintiffs’ claims.
the guy is actively in the repeatedly slandering sandman and the kids, and then has the gall to talk about needing to point out the slander
The facts are clear as day. why you persist in slandering the kids is beyond my comprehension
“Turn the other cheek.” If they thought Phillips was “getting in their face” the Christian thing to do would have been to meekly stand aside.
Yep. Philips gathering was over and he was leaving. He had no business trying to start trouble with the kids who were there with their schools permission. He has no business trying to go into a Church to interrupt their ceremonies. No one interrupted his.
There is no obligation to stand aside in Christianity or otherwise. Why aren't you calling Phillips behaviors into question? why does he get a pass for insinuating himself in their area, and then spending his days slandering them across the media?
No, people are not obliged to be respectful. And we are not obliged to refrain from calling out rudeness as we see it.
