It's the internet age, any future potential employers would google his name and the only results would be defamatory statements about his character. Of course they wouldn't know that so they would never hire him.

This would all go away if he would let it go away. Do you know who let it go away? Peter Cvjetanovic. You probably don't know who he is without looking up his name. Why? Because he didn't make a stink about his 15 minutes and he let it fade away. And he did something demonstrably worse IMO. Nick Sandmann is young and has his whole privileged life in front of him. He will finish going to this prestigious prep school and he will go on to the ivy league. He will have all of this going on to his advantage because he comes from the right family with the right money.

Also, you know who else carried his own crucifixion cross? Jesus...and those crucified. Sort of just an all around poor analogy.

Christ didn't carry his own nails and his own hammer. That's the part of the analogy you're missing. It's one thing to be cast a villain, it's another to live up to the casting.

Except out of all the miserable actions and events shown in the videos there was only two commendable actions. A group of kids sticking up for the LGBT community when the HI started using derogatory homophobic words and...when Mr. Sandmann asked his classmate to not engage with the person yelling profanity at his face.

That was good. That could have been an escalation point and led to a larger confrontation. He deserves some marks for that, and I give him those. Keeping this thing alive is of his (or his parents) making though. They should just let this die and pay for Nick's ivy league education.
