Bombings and Shootings: Covington Catholic Students Detail Threats Against Them and Their School

 

In a new video from two Covington Catholic High School students, they detail the threats that have been against them and their school. The fallout stems from the viral incident between Nathan Phillips and Nick Sandmann.

“There have been many threats against our lives, against our parents. Some of these include that we should be locked in the school and it should be burned to the ground, the school being bombed, school shooting threats,” student Sam explained.

“It’s really scary, I know a lot of people are scared to go to school tomorrow and won’t be attending because of what could happen. There have been cops there ever since the incident and I think there will be a lot more tomorrow,” he continued.

“A lot of the negativity and the hate surrounding this event comes from people on social media, doxxing people that were at the event,” second student Grant said, pointing to how he had been doxxed three times even though he was not in Washington, D.C.

“A lot of people’s parents were also doxxed, their work was called. I mean, this could greatly affect their job. They could be fired. There are real consequences for these actions and it all spews from a 30-second clip taken out of a two-hour video out of context and people jumping to conclusions before the full story is released,” Sam added.

In an email sent to parents, the school said after meeting with local authorities, they have decided to cancel school for the day, according to Fox 19.

“All activities on campus will be cancelled for the entire day and evening. Students, parents, faculty and staff are not to be on campus for any reason. Please continue to keep the Covington Catholic Community in your prayers,” the email stated.

After the first few videos went viral about the incident between Phillips and Sandmann, more videos showed the students were actually being heckled by men belonging to the Black Israelites. Sandmann explained they were doing school chants to drown out the disgusting remarks from the men.
