This may be my deeply-ingrained local bias, but I think Pittsburgh has some of the best bougie + generic high school names. Five of the six richest high schools in the suburbs are called:

Yup. It’s pure doubling down on a bad hand. It’s breathtaking to watch.

More fucking horseshit.

Phillips did not “enter the space between them” - he explicitly said on CBS News that he walked into the high school group to prevent them from harassing the poor innocent black protesters. The fact that those black protesters were using vile, homophobic, racist language is downplayed by you,…

I still see a huge group of like 100 kids who could have walked away at any moment

I’m not gonna put them on Breitbart level, but this post, which is ultimately “please ignore everything that happened because this is the story I want to tell and I won’t let reality change that” is a really bad look. It’s legitimately delusional.

“...despite video evidence that he walked into the space separating the students and Black Israelites and stood there before that students formed a semicircle around him. “

All the mainstream news outlets, including the left-leaning ones, have walked back their initial reports in light of the longer video.

yeah, this is just weird. I’m all for jumping on some MAGA stuff here... but Laura is blatantly ignoring the full video of the events, and asking others to do the same... all for a narrative. Both parties share some blame, but I’m usually gonna put a lot more blame on the adults who actually seemed to be the ones…

No clue why this is on Deadspin, but okay...

This is Laura’s attempt at gaslighting, pure and simple. The extended video shows that Phillips lied repeatedly in his version of events. The kids were minding their own business when the Black Israelites started harassing them. They started chanting to drown it out. Phillips saw the interaction, MISTAKENLY ASSUMED…

“you will see what you want to see here, if you are determined to do so”

I didn’t know there were milk truthers.

Wow. And to think I’ve erroneously called it ‘Cleveland’ for years.
