The multiple death threats, perhaps?
Where are the five black teens today? You know, the ones Donald J. Trump, a billionaire, paid for a full page ad calling for their public execution. You think maybe they have more of a case after DNA evidence exonerated them from the crime that called for their deaths?
I doubt Sandmann has ever had a credible death threat against him. Just dumb Twitter comments from people who are anonymous. As far as you know these are Trump's people making death threats against him just so they can claim victimhood for him.
I feel bad for the kid. This thing was at the point of moving on and yielding the spotlight to the next shiny thing on the internet. By filing this lawsuit, Mom and Dad have insured that it won't go away. The first discovery request by the Post will be for the kid's school records. And if there's any disciplinary stuff in there, it all comes out in public. Does he have any enemies at school? Their story becomes public. He'll be living with the case for a couple years minimum, if no appeals are involved.
The parents couldn't have done more to make sure that the kid is defined by this incident.

What about the dude that shot up the synagogue based on Trump's border fearmongering? How disgusting. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

Seriously. Pettiest, most ‘snowflake’ Administration ever.
We elected folks with the emotional maturity of children to the White House, and the only folks still happy about it are those voters suffering from the same dysfunction.

The same way Rosa Parks was defined by her incident? Black people have long understood that gaining rights is a constant battle and legal fight. I'm glad to see a white victim willing to fight back against a wealthy legal bully in the Washington Compost. Every time we fight it pushes the pendulum of justice back in the other direction and the rest of us benefit as well. Had the media gotten away with it for free, they'd have no reason to change their behavior and would continue to prey on anyone suspected of voting for Trump using character assassination and even limiting your work and employment opportunities for the rest of your life. Perhaps they'll be more careful who they defame next time.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Meanwhile, your own wealthy legal bully uses his position as President to publicly belittle and defame, on a daily basis, anyone whom he takes an issue with.
Conservatives haven’t been bothered by that before, so it’s going to be hard to take their crocodile tears seriously here.

Don't pretend you give a crap about the kid. You're perfectly willing to sacrifice him for your cause.
ETA: Would you hire a guy who files suit for hundreds of millions of dollars when someone says something mean about him?

This just in:
A U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant and self-identified white nationalist has been arrested after federal investigators uncovered a cache of weapons and ammunition in his Maryland home that authorities say he stockpiled to launch a massive domestic terror attack targeting politicians and journalists.
Christopher Paul Hasson called for “focused violence” to “establish a white homeland” and dreamed of ways to “kill almost every last person on earth,” according to court records filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland.
I’m very offended, and will now sue the American Association of White Nationalist Organizations for 250 million dollars.
