Covington Catholic High School students cleared in Diocese investigation over confrontation

with Native American man

An investigation of the viral stand-off between Covington Catholic Students and an elderly Native American man was released Monday, which the Bishop of Covington says 'exonerates' the boys involved of any wrongdoing.

...


Roger Foys, The Bishop of Covington, wrote in a letter on his website, “Our students were placed in a situation that was at once bizarre and even threatening. Their reaction to the situation was, given the circumstances, expected and one might even say laudatory.”

Prepared by Greater Cincinnati Investigation, Inc. at the behest of the diocese, the report includes statements from students and chaperones, interviews with third-party witnesses, and review of footage of the encounter over approximately 240 hours.

In short, our boys were angels. It was everyone else's fault. Why am I not surprised?

13. Jokes about pedophiles raping boys?

I don't know, sounds like Maher. Absolutely disgusting, either way.

And, you felt some need to bring that shit here.

5. Did you expect any less?

That diocese knows where it’s bread is buttered.

6. Interesting how interviews with the Native American man...

Weren't conducted.

Not a very impartial investigation.

But, then, neither was the Inquisition... So, I wasn't expecting it.

7. I think it is bad enough

the kids behaved as they did but it's worse all the adults have bent over backwards to say it was ok.

I posted a link about the parents hiring a big time libel attorney. Things did get really quiet after that but that could have been from the shit-storm distraction of the hour and not the legal liability.

10. "Our students were placed in a situation that was at once bizarre and even threatening..."

I watched the vids a few times. I never was able to locate a chaperone(s). Assuming one or more was there, why did they allow the boys to be placed in that "bizarre and threatening" situation? If I were a parent with any degree of objectivity I would be calling for changes to prevent such a situation from occurring in the future.

Of course I'm talking objevtivity. In a MAGA mindset objectivity is a weakness.

Again, given what I know and read the outcome was expected.

14. Predictable.

"Laudatory," eh? Thanks, Bishop Foys. Now you can go back to ignoring child sexual abuse.

15. You can be pretty aggressive without saying a single word.

Getting into someone's face and staring is pretty aggressive.
