Author Description

The student group was first verbally harassed by the Black Hebrew Israelites. Phillips, the Native American and veteran is seen approaching the students and getting in between the two groups. Contrary to what he had earlier told The Washington Post: Nick Sandmann, "the student who was the focal point of an original video, is not smiling during some of the face-to-face standoff." And there's no evidence in the later videos to corroborate Phillips' contention that some of the students were chanting "Build that wall," a quote that was used in NPR's initial story."A lot of what changed is how people felt about it [the incident], not what was seen on the videos," he said. That Phillips did the approaching "didn't alter the facts," he added. "There were in fact kids in a circle around them chanting, many doing the tomahawk chop. That's taunting." He continued, "As we learned new information we added it." As a result of that reporting, sometimes stories will become clearer over time, as more details emerge. It's not an exact science deciding when enough reporting has been done so editors can feel comfortable publishing or airing a story. There are two distinct groups of Hebrew Israelites--one that believes in the Messiah and the other that does not.
