Nick Sandmann: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

https://heavy.com/news/2019/01/nicholas-sandmann-covington-catholic/

Nicholas Sandmann, a junior at Covington Catholic High School has released a statement about his involvement in the incident at the Lincoln Memorial Friday.

“I am the student who was confronted by the Native American protester,” Nick Sandmann begins.

The teen had been named on social media beginning Saturday, but it was not until this just-released statement that his identity has been confirmed

Nick Sandmann is the white teenager from the Kentucky Catholic school in a Make America Great Again Hat who was seen taunting a Native American elder, Vietnam veteran Nathan Phillips, while he was surrounded by laughing and jeering classmates, many also wearing pro-Trump MAGA gear.

Lots of links and videos and tweets at the link above.

It's true the Black Hebrew Israelites are a bunch of dipshits, and designated a hate group by the SPLC with a few militant violent members, but any sensible person knows it's best to not engage them ever. The school boys are obviously not that sensible. This situation could have easily gotten out of control.

Also these dipshits are not Muslims and have nothing to do with Islam. Their philosophy is a perversion of elements of Judaism and Christianity and Black supremacy, with leaders of all major faiths denying any association with this extremist group.

On a completely unrelated note, the federal police are working without pay or furloughed. So there weren't very many of them available to diffuse this situation.

I'm not defending any group in this situation. Perception is reality so I bet everyone believes they are not the bad guys here.

by blocking the path of "the protestor" and smirking at him.

Why am I not surprised that he is playing the Victim Card. Poor baby!

I watched the videos. The BEST that can be said is those kids, on a march to take away the rights of women, were very poorly supervised.

His momma- Julie Sandmann who works for Fidelity Investments as a "Vice President for Relationship Management" has removed her page from LinkedIn. It's not on the WayBack, Google cache, or LinkedIn. Yes, the link exists, but it looks like it was taken down in a big darn hurry. Also, it can no longer be found on Fidelity's website, and the Wayback has put perms on it as well.

She earned her MBA from Xavier in 2004, after attending Moorehead University from 1992 to 1996.

Has been with Fidelity Investments since March of 1999.

She has had some help from those who know what they are doing to get her off social media.

Her mother in law passed on July 16th, 2018 and people have already defaced her obit. (http://www.gilliganfuneralhomes.com/obituary/Nancy-L.-Sandmann/Burlington-KY/1806447)
