(56,777 posts)1. Poor guy. He goes to great lengths to tell why he will not give Nick Sandmann's name, and
then Nick Sandmann outs himself in his bullshit statement in which he lies through his teeth to justify his actions.
What Mr. Parsa did not understand when he wrote this very compassionate and thoughtful thread was that Nick Sandmann is proud of his actions. That was clear in Nick Sandmann's statement.

What gets me are the Maga hats and shirts. Who bought them for the kids? Their parents?

Thanks. This made me think about my joining a "mob" of condemnation. This event pissed me off.
