they wont do a double think when it does happen

2019-01-22 00:31:00 UTC  

they'll praise it

2019-01-22 00:31:13 UTC  

@Timcast Hey Tim. Philip Defranco has apologized for jumping on the bandwagon and has put out the real story. He feels very stupid for being duped and wants to apologize to all his followers and viewers. I have to respect that man for doing that.

2019-01-22 00:31:37 UTC  

most will prolly celebrate in their arrogance thinking "hah, i did good, i got rid of a nazi, i'm a saint, i'm like jesus"

2019-01-22 00:32:07 UTC  

not forgiven

2019-01-22 00:32:25 UTC  

Philip should know better imo

2019-01-22 00:32:27 UTC  

@Timcast It would be nice to put out a simple, short video thanking Philip Defranco for having journalist integrity that seems to be RARE these days. He didn't double done, he sought out to correct the view of the situation.

2019-01-22 00:32:37 UTC  

True... but people are not infalliable.

2019-01-22 00:32:45 UTC  

They are not perfect. They do make mistakes.

2019-01-22 00:32:49 UTC  

i'd accept his apology

2019-01-22 00:32:49 UTC  

oh come on the damage is already done..

2019-01-22 00:32:54 UTC  

that

2019-01-22 00:32:58 UTC  

What I have issue with is the people who double down and the people issuing death threats.

2019-01-22 00:33:02 UTC  

true

2019-01-22 00:33:23 UTC  

that uncle shoes guy clarified his "fire on" statement

2019-01-22 00:33:32 UTC  

but theres a difference between a random pleb getting it wrong and apologising

and someoen like phil who should've known better

2019-01-22 00:33:40 UTC  

^

2019-01-22 00:33:47 UTC  

he very specifically meant for people to physically assault them by striking them with a clenched fist, not shooting them with a gun

2019-01-22 00:33:47 UTC  

Philip will make mistakes. Hell even Timcast has made mistakes.

2019-01-22 00:33:58 UTC  

he made a mistake, a big one, but to be fair both the left and the right were going all out on the kids.. he probably thought it was safe. so yeah, he fucked up, but it wasnt malicious or anything.

2019-01-22 00:34:11 UTC  

it was human error

2019-01-22 00:34:12 UTC  

We can't treat them any different than how you treat another individual. Give them the benefit of doubt and make sure they learn from their mistake.

2019-01-22 00:34:23 UTC  

thats the problem, it wasn't malice

but the road to hell is paved by good intentions

2019-01-22 00:34:52 UTC  

That is the way I see things. How can we advance as a society, if we don't have the compacity to forgive?

2019-01-22 00:34:53 UTC  

Tim talks about it all the time though.. the amount of people that see the original statement vs the correction.. its dangerous now to just emotionally react to anything you know nothing about

2019-01-22 00:35:08 UTC  

forgiveness is done by redemption, not by apologies

2019-01-22 00:35:32 UTC  

>I killed someone, oops i'm sorry
"hmm okay well you seem remorseful, you go free"

2019-01-22 00:35:42 UTC  

Philip defrance put out a video, correcting the narrative and situation. He apologized and now standing beside the kids on this. He feels incredibly stupid about it.

2019-01-22 00:35:47 UTC  

i dont see a way out

2019-01-22 00:35:58 UTC  

armed insurgency will start to sprout imo

2019-01-22 00:36:05 UTC  

He is actively trying to correct the situation... not just apologize and let it go.

2019-01-22 00:36:10 UTC  

I can see that and i do accept the apology

that doesn't block me from saying it was stupid and he should've known better

2019-01-22 00:36:18 UTC  

His viewers now know the full story.

2019-01-22 00:36:24 UTC  

those that watched both

2019-01-22 00:36:27 UTC  

Yeah, he should have known better.

2019-01-22 00:36:45 UTC  

But I accept his apologize, because it came with a video explaining the situation better and correcting his misconsumptions.

2019-01-22 00:36:57 UTC  

i accept it too

2019-01-22 00:37:08 UTC  

saying that no one is allowed to make mistakes is pretty extreme. he didnt kill someone, he believed information that was wrong but that information was being spouted by MULTIPLE sources, like hundreds of sources

2019-01-22 00:37:16 UTC  

its uncommon for so many people to be so wrong

2019-01-22 00:37:28 UTC  

He provide the real story, not just a apology video. How many apologizes these day from the media do you see come with a correction like this. The whole video was dedicated to correcting what he misrepresented.

2019-01-22 00:37:43 UTC  

Very rarely do we see something like this.
