I wouldn't know. American news is the absolute worst place for genuine news. Any and all things from them that are political are easily discarded with zero loss.
Here. Let the twins explain in their way.

They were desperate for a squirrel after the last few days but they just went nuts over nothing. The good thing is that it exposed a few posers.
sequitur. It's a latin 3rd person singular passive ending. (passive in form but active in meaning. deponent verb.)
You don't even have to know how to spell the particular word. It's an ending.
Nothing has exploded in the Left's face so badly since the Gentle Giant or st Skittles.
Not only are these kids vindicated, prominent people who jumped on this have apologized, a prominent attorney has offered to represent them free, a member of the Polish Parliament has asked them to come to Warsaw, and the parents are demanding an apology from the Diocese.
The Lefties are trying to CYA, but they're faced with the fact they doxxed and slandered a bunch of 14 year olds.
The urge to instruct and condemn others in the “court” of public opinion is so strong and finds so many outlets on the internet. The ability to twist the truth is so easy on the internet. And quick. Many of the publishers of this vicious story will not correct much less retract it nor will they ever amend their ways. They are political propagandists not reporters. Many who do hear of the enormous lie that supported this story will continue to believe the “truthiness” of it. They will admire the vile racial activists with their bigoted comments and grossly stereotypical race costumes and props. They are gullible political props and it doesn’t occur to them that to the powers that be they’re just as disposable and just as easily disposable as these boys are.
Sue the bastards.
Sue. Sue. Sue.
It is awful what happened to these kids.
Maybe, just maybe we can learn the lesson of withholding judgment? Where is it written that as soon as something happens somewhere, and it show up on your Twitter feed or Facebook, or wherever, that you, personally, must give an immediate, high profile reaction.
Maybe just sit tight and think, reflect, listen and keep your yap shut?
The people with the pitchforks and torches keep lighting themselves on fire.
Oh, the humanity!
Withholding judgement - Indeed. However - In this case, the left manufactured and edited the truth right out of the story. On purpose.
That is pure evil.
Fake Indian. I don't mean that that's not his heritage, but that his reality is entirely constructed (pre-fabricated) by progressives, mostly white progressives, who just want to see him act pitiful and helpless and cry (like in that commercial with that other fake indian, Iron Eyes Cody, which was an early Green government PSA). THAT'S ALL YOU ARE to the progressive borg; a symbol to be used by them to accrue power and control over the irrepressibles. This old fool lives in a tent on the mall in DC. His whole life revolves around banging his old tom-tom drum and making indian noises in protest of whatever needs protesting. He's a cut out, a caricature, a fake.
Also, not a real Viet Nam vet.
What a surprise.

A mnemonic is “non sequiturd.” Works for me, except I tend to leave the “d” as I tend to only use that expression to chide online opponents. The turd metaphor objectifies whatever piece of argument looks out of place.
