The iconic “stand-off” between Phillips and Sandmann, and the white nationalist bravado of the meme, are symptomatic of the profound misgivings of the colonial present. Anti-Black and anti-Indigenous antagonisms converge in “land gets stolen” and “stand your ground” with such clarity in part because of the very real threats to white settler prerogative posed by anti-colonial and anti-racist coalition building. This crisis of entitlement is compounded by the nihilist greed of the capitalist planetary death drive and its predatory acceleration of upwardly redistributed wealth. The disavowal of the colonial present’s unpaid debts have been historically accompanied by the weaponization of debt against Indigenous peoples, the formerly enslaved, and differentially devalued people of color. As the forms of debt and indebtedness that have long served as colonial mechanisms for Indigenous and racialized dispossession have become ubiquitous features of finance capital, the logics and logistics of debt itself are not only contested by social movements, but the specific work of debt in colonization and neocolonial disciplinary entrapment must be central to anticapitalist organizing.

Sandmann concludes the statement by thanking Phillips for his service in the United Stated Military. "I thank him for his service and am grateful to anyone who puts on the uniform to defend our nation. If anyone has earned the right to speak freely, it is a U.S. Marine veteran," he states.

Due to the abusive language being hurled at the boys, Sandmann said the high schoolers asked their chaperone if they could shout school spirit chants. Sandmann emphasized: "At no time did I hear any student chant anything other than the school spirit chants. I did not witness or hear any students chant 'build that wall' or anything hateful or racist at any time. Assertions to the contrary are simply false. Our chants were loud because we wanted to drown out the hateful comments that were being shouted at us by the protestors."

"After a few minutes of chanting, the Native American protestors, who I hadn't previously noticed, approached our group. The Native American protestors had drums and were accompanied by at least one person with a camera," the statement continues. "The protestor everyone has seen in the video began playing his drum as he waded into the crowd, which parted for him. I did not see anyone try to block his path. He locked eyes with me and approached me, coming within inches of my face. He played his drum the entire time he was in my face."

"I never interacted with this protestor," Sandmann asserts. "I did not speak to him. I did not make any hand gestures or other aggressive moves."

The junior admits that he was "confused" by the confrontation by Phillips.

"I believed that by remaining motionless and calm, I was helping to diffuse the situation," he says. "I said a silent prayer that the situation would not get out of hand."

"The engagement ended when one of our teachers told me the busses had arrived and it was time to go. I obeyed my teacher and simply walked to the busses. At that moment, I thought I had diffused the situation by remaining calm, and I was thankful nothing physical had occurred," he adds.

The statement notes that he has received "physical and death threats via social media, as well as hateful insults." Additionally, his "parents are receiving death and professional threats because of the social media mob that has formed over this issue," he says.
