A suitable outcome would be that none of these boys be accepted to university. Seniors in that crowd should have their acceptances revoked if they’ve already received them. Attending the local Community College for two years might even help them rejoin decent society. OTOH, they could get arrested for DUI, possession, and/or sexual assault.

And wind up being the keynote speaker at the next Republican national convention.

The furthering Trump-ification of the US. There were some “very fine people” among those assholes.
Other videos are coming in about the Covington “boys” - I should have figured misogyny would not be far behind racism.

NPR did the same dumb thing the other day as Jennings defended the GOP “strategy” re Trump Shutdown.

I took a Native American Spirituality class at a school run by Jesuits.
They would have been appalled by this behavior too.

You can spin spin spin but mommy and daddy will be paying for Nicky for the rest of his life. The vidya is out there, his name is out there, his parents remarks and his remarks are forever out there for anyone to see—employers, admissions, anyone who does a background check on Nick Sandmann will be able to see for themselves who Nick is and what he believes. And then the employers and admissions folks will decide if they want to add Nick to their organization. And let me tell you as a parent of two high school students–it is super competitive out there. It is competitve if you have money, if you are a legacy, if you are going for scholarship money, good jobs and promotions. It’s so competitive out there people who choose are looking for an easy “No”, they are relieved when they have a good reason to deny someone. NIce work Covington Catholic and Mr and Mrs Sandmann. MAGA!

I prefer this article from Salon, it speaks most closely to my own thinking on this matter.

It was misogyny first, after all. They were there as an all-male school to protest women’s bodily autonomy.

They called the pr guy before going to confession? I’m shocked, just shocked.

and their dog given mandate to abuse it. Catholic Boi post pubescence, raging hormones and all that.
This field trip had nothing to do with anything besides getting the little twerps out of the faculty’s hair for a few days. None of these kids will ever use abstinence much less take the responsibility of raising any of the “mistakes” they might make. Heck, the heathens couldn’t even man up to being caught on tape acting in a fashion contrary to Catholic teachings. They called the pr firm before even consulting with a priest for guidance. What a great model this school, their GOP Senator and the MAGA tradition are for the entire world.

This is what agitates me to no end. Total lack of complicity in the pregnancy and devoid of any responsibility for the outcomes.
Disclaimer…I was Catholic until I saw the light and walked away from it.

Josh - enough obsession with this. This is not a real story. Why is this news or even problematic as the Covington kids have been hammered largely by liberal folks?

Little James O’Keefes in the making. No doubt similarly punchable faces.
