Kentucky Suburb: Statement Videos and Death Threats

kentucky suburb: An official working with the family confirmed Sandmann's identity, speaking on condition of anonymity because the source didn't want to distract from the statement, according to CTV. Videos posted of the confrontation drew wide criticism on social media. The student identified himself in an email statement Sunday evening as junior Nick Sandmann of Covington Catholic High School in a northern Kentucky suburb of Cincinnati. I am being called every name in the book, including a racist, and I will not stand for this mob-like character assassination of my family's name, wrote Sandmann, who added that he and his parents have received death threats since video of Friday's confrontation emerged. But video of Sandmann standing very close to Phillips, staring and at times smiling at him as Phillips sang and played a drum, gave many who watched it a different impression. Both Sandmann and Nathan Phillips say they were trying to defuse tensions that were rising among three groups on a day Washington hosted both the March for Life and the Indigenous Peoples March.
