Nice to see a lawyer step up to defend the kids. The offer has been made?
Will they accept it? Probably not
Lawyer for Covington Catholic HS Families Threatens Lawsuits Against Media Unless They Retract False Stories
https://pjmedia.com/trending/lawyer-for-covington-catholic-hs-families-threatens-lawsuits-against-media-unless-they-retract-false-stories/
Thanks to the sloppy, one-sided reporting of the malicious, agenda-driven media, a group of Catholic high school teenagers and their families have become the subjects of threats and harassment from a hateful online outrage mob. Their only sins? Being white, Catholic, and supporters of the president.
The full story has emerged in the wake of the fake news blitzkrieg over the weekend, and the media outlets that spread defamatory smears against the kids are now being warned to correct and retract their stories or face a lawsuit. Contrary to the media's malicious narrative, the kids were not racist rednecks mobbing a Native American elder with hateful slurs. It was quite the opposite.
Los Angeles-based trial lawyer Robert Barnes offered to represent the Covington families for free should they decide to sue the New York Times.
I will represent the kids for free if they want to sue @maggieNYT for obvious libel. https://t.co/VmqVqIVNoe

Unfortunately all that tomahawk chopping didn't make those boys look good. If I were them, I'd drop it. Those images will follow them around forever.
The sins had nothing to do with them being white and Catholic. The paranoia in your post was pretty sad.
Maybe next time they will not make fun of Indians as they did.
They and the Native American should all slink back into obscurity.

Doesn't sound like he's really their lawyer yet. Looks more like he's out for media attention for himself.
Honestly I think the best thing for the kids and their families is to just let this thing go and let it die a quick death, because rightly or wrongly reported, the video makes the kids look really bad.
This is probably one of the most lowest posts that i have seen from you yet.
These boys did nothing wrong.
They were simply there for an event excerising a right when they were verbally assaulted by
the radical left wing nut jobs. Those black guys and indian guy who is a activist by the way.
were the ones that got in their face and started calling them names. the boys did nothing wrong
and in fact attempted to de-escalate the situation. it was all caught on video showing what they did
and what they said. that indian lied his teeth off in the news article and the paper published it knowing
full well that it was a lie.
that is cause for slander and defamation.
Not if you look at the full video/story.

Face it, you fell for the story hook line and sinker. Once a TDS'er like you saw that MAGA hat, and that they where white ( ughh) males ( double ughhh) that was all you needed to rush to judgment . Everything about that original story was BS.There was a time in this country where people owned their bad behaviors. The black Israelites shouted awful things to these kids. Nobody is excusing their behaviors. The kids acted like little punks, and people are pretending that didn't happen.
Being harassed by someone else isn't an excuse to act like a punk to an elderly Indian.
You are right. Everyone should let this go. I don't think the kids will appreciate it when they're 25 and applying for jobs, and a hiring manager with NA blood sees them acting like little punks doing tomahawk chops. Kids are kids, and luckily most of them grow out of obnoxious behavior. This lawyer, clamoring for fame a la Avenatti, is actually not doing them a favor. Not to mention, they won't win.

Doesn't stand a chance. Media reported the information they had, and even with additional information over the last few days, the kids still look bad. The more this story lives, more other media digs. They might regret it.
You seem to have (unilaterally?) decided that the tomahawk chop was jeering (racist behavior?) rather than cheering (audience participation?). The initial reporting made it appear that the student group approached (confronted?) the drumming and chanting Native Americans when the opposite was the case. It seems that two small groups of adult activists tried very hard to get a reaction from the larger group of students and succeeded - why was that not clearly stated as the "news"?

Yes, making obnoxious tomahawk chop motions to an elderly Indian is "nothing wrong".
Welcome to Trump Fan Nation, where kids can be rude and disrespectful and on the hairy edge of bigoted, and nothing is wrong.
Congratulations. Trump really did make your brain turn to mush. Well done, son.
I never said the chop actions were racist. In fact, I said they were not racist.
You persist in making yourself ever more ridiculous with these absurd posts. Why not keep quiet, stand still and smile? You have been provided with an excellent example.
I never said the chop actions were racist. In fact, I said they were not racist.
Your post, to which I relied, asserted that the students were "making fun of Indians" (many would consider that statement to depict racism) not simply that the students were having fun with Native Americans drumming and chanting present. Which statements, in the post to which I relied, indicated that the students were not racist?
