20. I'm soooo confused...

So the student has a horrible memory or didn’t watch the video of his (and his schoolmates) actions. Everything about his statement seems completely contrary to the clear and indisputable video. What’s most alarming is the claim that Nathan Philips singles out this particular student and confronted HIM. Sandmann also claims that his actions were an effort to diffuse a potentially hostile situation. Laughable, if it weren’t so sad
