In a correction to their initial story published on Sunday, the Washington Post said that while he had served in the Marine Corps, he did not deploy to Vietnam:


Correction: Earlier versions of this story incorrectly said that Native American activist Nathan Phillips fought in the Vietnam War. Phillips served in the U.S. Marines from 1972 to 1976 but was never deployed to Vietnam.

Questioneverything??

At what point do people realize that all of this is a shame and that calling for violence against teenager is a disgrace? The media that built this up and caused all the trouble before investigating is one problem because there is no accountability for false news. They have caused a lasting effect on these teenagers lives not to mention that movie stars, news media, and some politicians have called for death threats and attacks on these TEENAGERS and their family. The strange parts is that the very same people who cry about school shootings and gun control are on twitter promoting attacks on not only these teenagers but their school. So how is this ok? What is wrong with adults that they think this ok. Now that it has been proven to be that the adult Indian man was the aggressor it appears that it was a stunt by the Indian Tribe group and they didn't seem to care who's lives they destroy in the process. Ask yourself this, if we told this story and these teenagers were African American (or anything other then white) or not wearing Trump hats, would that have made a difference in the way the media built this story? Would your response have been different? If yes then maybe you should rethink your views on where you stand. Are you being lead by news or politics with their "hate all others that don't believe what you believe"....after all isn't that the intolerance that we are suppose to stand up against. At the end of the day these kids lives have been altered forever and the school is closed because of threats from people who scream about tolerance of others but yet they don't seem to practice what they preach. I guess I am more surprised that people seem to be ok with and join in on the "bullying" with the death threats and violence against these teenagers and their family. Shame on you and it shouldn't matter if you are a Democrat or Republican.

Now the liberal snowflake press (Huff Post) is claiming that the problem was the students were wearing MAGA hats.



They are claiming the hats " amount to an explicit message of racial intolerance and bigotry "

How did they ever come up with that connection? This is a campaign slogan which has absolutely nothing to do with race or bigotry any more than "Change we can believe in".

The writers at HUffPost will one day burn in he** for all the lying they do.

The native American made the statement that when he walked up to the student, the student blocked his way, having nowhere to retreat, after saying he walked into the crowd to try to diffuse the situation.

Last I checked, retreating was backing up and there was no one behind the native American.

He would have been 18 in 1972, and could have entered at 17 with a parent's signature.

Vietnam ended in 1975

Doing the math; taking into account his age; and the end of military action in 1973; it is possible he was briefly in Vietnam. The records will show.

Veterans associations are trying to get the guys military records released because they doubt him being a Vietnam veteran due him only being 64. Apparently he is not old of enough to have been in Vietnam.

Deep, I've been asking basically that same question for years. White, black, green or blue, if you stand for any type of traditional values it seems very difficult to see how you can affiliate with the Democrat party. I have many neighbors who still have the D label, but are so conservative it is mind boggling. I guess they are still stuck in the 1950's.

I found this to be interesting in the article : The protestors said hateful things. They called us "racists," "bigots," "white crackers," "****s," and "incest kids." They also taunted an African American student from my school by telling him that we would "harvest his organs." I have no idea what that insult means, but it was startling to hear.

At any rate it shouldn’t matter what side of the aisle you’re on things like this should never happen.
