I'm very disappointed in your article. I'll give one example. You said the teenager wearing a maga hat.... It was a Catholic student coming for a March to Life rally not a Trump rally as you imply. You said they had a stand off. Actually I've watched all the many hours of video and Sandman was minding his own business when the guy came up to him banging on his drum. Sandman was trying hard not to do anything or say anything to diffuse the situation. He exhibited great restraint. So it was NOT a stand off. The guy was a jerk. Your final sentence was completely false and would lead people to believe that the right was as bad as the left was for making up a story that the media portrayed Sandman bad. The media did indeed do just that and his name was ruined in the press for what? Showing restraint? So yes because he was standing for the unborn and had a maga hat on the media DID attack him viciously. So much so that he lost scholarships. He eventually won many lawsuits against the media. The right did not craft a new narrative. It WAS the narrative. The media smeared and innocent kid because he rallied against abortion and they have done it to many people besides him.

Luke 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
Tim Ballard appears to me to be yet another of the falsely accused. Jesus said that will happen to true saints.

You wrote, regarding the Tim Ballard story: "For a still developing story, withholding judgement can be appropriate." So, why are you jumping the gun and including it in your article NOW?

I have listened in person to Tim Ballard explain his role in OUR many times. Most were at the peril of his own life! I believe that he is innocent of these charges and encourage people not to rush to condemn him on public opinion. I believe that Tim is a good and honorable man!
