Imagine thinking covington kid got more than 6 figures in that settlement?
A lot of top military brass send their kids to Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky even Indigenous Americans...some attend the school from out of state. Just as important, a lot of those kids would then attend the U.S. military academies
or ROTC programs at top academic universities.
In addition, its a school that has very strong ties with the Catholic Dioceses in the North.
- Yet, I don't think this kid is from a military family because something like that would have been mentioned.
My point, that school (those kids) were not going to rollover easy to the media. They were going to fight back because a lot of those kids have respect for Indigenous Americans...some that attend the school are Indigenous Americans.
Something about that original story didn't seem right about the Lincoln Memorial confrontation when it was first discussed here at ET and in the media.
He's probably now spending most of his time chasing the girls across the street from Notre Dame Academy or getting ready to go to college...now all paid for with a new car from the settlement.
Regardless, I had heard Nicholas Sandmann family had settled with Washington Post for a low amount of the requested amount in the defamation because the Post had posted follow-up story with the complete truth
prior to the lawsuit.
Maybe the lawsuit was refiled ?
It must have been a confidential settlement...we will never know but I will guess it's a few million, guaranteed entry into a military academy along with a few other stuff like a guaranteed internship at the Washington Post / CNN if he goes to college.
Big Media always get sued...they have insurance coverage to pay for it all. Lawsuit payouts is probably pocket change to them. Yet, bad publicity hurts much more and its something they typically settle quickly to avoid.
