Didn't pay any attention to this story and thus have no opinion one way or other. The opportunity to hear each side's position firsthand makes the case interesting enough that I would delight to sit on its jury. If you were Sandmann how much would it take to settle? How about NBC, how much would you be willing to offer, if any? Hope it doesn't end in one of those non-disclosure deals.
If I were NBC I'd offer a check for $0.00. And I'd make it billboard-sized for a big publicity splash as a lesson to those who try to use the legal system as a blunt instrument.
Unless somebody can show me any kind of documentation anywhere of anything material to such a case. Otherwise, look forward to dismissal and sanctions.
I'm not familiar with liable cases other than the make-believe I've seen on TV. By "material to such a case" is that relating to the high schooler needing to show fiscal damages he suffered because of what the media reported? That's another thing that would make the case interesting to be a jurist on. We not only have the 2 opposing sides but also any judges' explanation of the law.
Nope, I'm referring to any evidence of the media making such defamation --- in this case I believe it's NBC. I invited anyone to show any news media (alphabets, CNN, Washington Post, whoever) libeling Smirk-boi. And no one has been able to come up with anything. No video, no newspaper story, no link, no screenshot, no nothing. Until someone does so this is a self-feeding mythology. And that matters. In a court of law oh HELL yeah that matters.
The story at the time was that there was a viral video going around showing a kid standing and smirking at an Indian. And that's true. And that's it.
No one has bothered to provide the avalanche of left wing sources making it look like Nick was the bad guy because, we all know what happened. They used an edited clip to make it look like Sandmann was ******* with a poor old indian. They are going to lose MILLIONS!
Mmmm apparently not because you can't go waddling into court with "everybody knows". You need something tangible, quantifiable, something that can be
read.
You don't need an "avalanche". All you need is "one".
Wow, what a ******* clown you are Sluggo.
A liar and disreputable pile of shit.

The Catholic students were on a field trip to Washington, D.C., attending a March for Life Event. While virtually every mainstream media outlet aired only a brief snippet of video and blasted the 16-year-old Sandmann for “disrespecting” 64-year-old Native American elder Nathan Phillips by “smirking” at him and blocking his path, extended video of the incident posted online quickly told a far different story. A group of Black Hebrew Israelites can be seen and heard for several minutes, shouting profanities, anti- Catholic, homophobic, and racial slurs, first at the Native Americans and then with even greater fervor at the high school kids from Kentucky.
The kids never responded with anything more than their school spirit chants, and they asked the permission of their chaperones before doing that. The footage also shows that Phillips and the Native Americans approached the high school kids, and their path was never blocked. Phillips focused in on Sandmann, and kept beating his drum until he was only a few inches from the youngster’s face. If anyone was doing the intimidating, it was Phillips.
Initially, Phillips was converted into a saintly figure in the media. He claimed to be a Vietnam veteran, but this was subsequently disproved. It was also discovered that Phillips had recently tried to disrupt a Catholic mass, and has a history of social activism.
Press accounts and celebrity tweets concentrated on the fact that some of the students, including Sandmann, were wearing “Make America Great Again” hats. Most shocking was the fact that Covington High School officials immediately condemned their own students, and Catholic Bishop John Stowe of the Diocese of Lexington wrote an op-ed in the
Lexington Herald-Leader in which he criticized the Catholic students.}
