Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann, who went viral last year for footage of him and his classmates appearing to mock a Native American protester, has reached a settlement with CNN — the second defamation lawsuit he filed against a media outlet.
White male privilege, the early years.
Another afluenza teen needs to learn the meaning karma, hubris, and how to defuse a situation.
He’ll be long-remembered by many.
Nick, The Sewer.
Which of these things is not like the other?
A. This kid.
B. Jim Jordan.
C. Matt Gaetz.
D. Brett Kavanaugh.
E. Donald Trump.
You’re right, the answer is “none of the above.”
Blessed are not the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of Trump.
Fine example of American manhood. s/
And CNN settled ? Where was Jeffery Toobin ?
Keep a watchful eye on this kid. He’ll be in the news for something far worse in the future, I expect.
Another white guy getting away with it. Must be nice.
I want to say that if “I” were Sandmann’s parents (either one) “I” would be suing the school.
THERE WERE SCHOOL OFFICIALS at those steps while the whole thing was going on. The school officials should have removed their charges – the students – from that black activist group (can’t remember their name now, but THEY were the ones making most if not all of the trouble ETA were they the Black Israelites?) and the Native American man.
The SCHOOL did not take care of those students.
The school ‘cleared’ the students? The proctors should have been fired.
And I say this as a person who had parochial Catholic education. The nuns would’ve beat the CRAP out of me for being involved in anything like this. Either the proctors were not near enough to their charges OR they thought the confrontation was just peachy. Either way they FAILED to protect their charges. This will follow Sandmann for the rest of his life.
Who know, maybe he got enough MONEY to attend Harvard but if they are kicking people out now for Facebook posts I doubt they would accept him. Just because. Harvard may ‘be’ a bastion of white privilege but they don’t want to be SEEN as a bastion of white privilege.
I’m sure the lesson that Nick is learning is not what Jesus do, but how to make a buck off of not walking away.
I guess this is news… that something happened.
Was the settlement for $275M or for a bag of chips?
Important difference.
Settlement or no settlement–he’s a smirking little entitled white prick and will likely grow up to be a big one.

of his and is classmates mocking of…
I despair.

What fine parents this one has - sending him to an expensive christain school, sending him off to DC to protest women’s reproductive rights, defending his racism and taunting behavior, and now teaching him that he can sue his way to wealth and profit.
In his gene [cess]pool, shit begets shit.
I hope his family invests the money in one of the Trump Organization’s scams and winds up having to live in one of Kushner’s substandard apartments.
Like George Zimmerman. I’ve lost count of the number of times since he murdered Trayvon Martin that his name kept coming up in the news for run-ins with the law. No one was surprised by that. That flaming asshole is litigious like the Sandmanns–but even slimier than they. He’s actually suing the family of his victim. I don’t believe in an afterlife but I’d make an exception for some people and allow that there is a hell waiting for them.
