Then later on the entire video was finally aired. Most everyone then changed their tune.
Even to this day you don't see much coverage on the group that were the real antagonists..

Well, I never posted on that ever, and I think it was more of a social media buzz (social media does not equal news)
Fuller Picture Emerges of Viral Video of Native American Man and Catholic Students - The New York Times
The above is the NY TIMES getting it straight as of that time.
Again, I detest social media and do never ever consider a viral video on YouTube, twitter or whatever as anything but junk food.
You have my okay to call me whatever should I comment on any social media video, sans any media representation. I am always amazed at folks who get their "news" from Facebook or that ilk. And I remind you, the fires were stoked and it was the real journalists who put this together and insure the truth got out.
