Building a wall?

  •  A Catholic school in Kentucky condemned a group of its students, many of whom wore "Make America Great Again" hats, after they were recorded harassing a Native American Vietnam veteran in a video that went viral on Saturday.
    The students from private, all-male Covington Catholic High School in northern Kentucky were in Washington for an anti-abortion rally on Friday when they were filmed surrounding Nathan Phillips and mocking the Native American's singing and drumming.
    One teen in particular is seen standing in front of Phillips, staring into his face with a smile. Fellow students, many in clothing bearing President Donald Trump's "MAGA" slogan, cheered him on and chanted, "build that wall, build that wall," Phillips said.
    The footage was shared online by organizers of an indigenous peoples' march that also took place on Friday.
    In a joint statement, the high school and Diocese of Covington condemned the actions of the students "towards Nathan Phillips specifically, and Native Americans in general."
    "The matter is being investigated and we will take appropriate action, up to and including expulsion," the statement said.
    In a separate video uploaded to social media, the 64-year-old Phillips, an elder of Nebraska's Omaha tribe, wiped away tears as he described the incident.
    "I heard them saying 'build that wall, build that wall'. These are indigenous lands, we're not supposed to have walls," he said. "I wish I could see that energy of that young mass of young men, put that energy into making this country, really, really great, helping those that are hungry."

    You have walls in your house I'd imagine. To stop home invasions. What's wrong with a nation having walls for the same?

    Does building a wall to stop foreign invasions include building a wall to prevent American Indians who are veterans from accessing national monuments?

    Catch up, Poche. It was FAKE NEWS from the get-go.

    You are right. We were lied to.
    Of course it was a credible accusation until the other more extensive videos were made available to the media. This could be an example of how our priests are being maligned. A 'credible' accusation is made and that is the end of his life as a priest.

  • How was this "credible"?  It was based only on one guy's word ... which turned out to be a deliberate lie.  It was only credible to you because you're gullible and ready to believe anything derogatory about the Church.  JP2 would already have apologized for the sins of the Church in this case.

    I hope these kids sue both that lying Native American and the mainstream media for millions.

    No it wasn’t a credible accusation at all.  The media is SUPPOSED TO REPORT FACTS.  All they report now is propaganda, half-truths, and lies.  The media shouldn’t report anything till they review all be evidence - that’s their job.  

    And, as Ladislaus said, it’s high time the media should be sued for defamation, inciting riots, inciting hate, and causing public disturbances of the peace. 

    “Freedom of the Press” only applies if the press is following journalistic standards.  Otherwise, they should lose their status as media.

  • Native American confronting Catholic Teens is identified as an Actor

    Nathan Phillips, the Native American radical activist who confronted the MAGA hat-wearing Catholic teens at the March For Life, starred in a 2012 Skrillex video called “Make It Bun Dem,” in which Phillips does some spiritual warfare connected to a violent attack on a police officer. Phillips was identified as the star of the video in his speaker bio for Tribal Hemp & Cannabis Education and discussed the role in a 2017 interview.

    This could be the same. The priest could be falsely accused by someone with an agenda relating to their own financial gain or a desire to get some kind of attention.

    I agree. I see a possibility for a libel suit.
