Not true. Nick Sandmann disagrees.

I don't disagree but I think this is a microcosm of race relations happening now.
Some people riot for the sake of riot, others are doing so because they feel it's the last resort (others are alt-right agent provocateur). They've tried remaining silent, they tried peacefully protesting, they tried kneeling for the anthem, it didn't amount to meaningful change. They are desperate, they are angry. You can chose to condemn those rioters, but at least see where they are coming from.
The internet mob, those calling for action against Miller, were doing so because they were tired of seeing nothing happen and no meaningful change happening, just empty words. They too are angry. You can condemn them, but what other options do they have when doing nothing keeps the status quo?
One way I can look at this is; I too am not playing for the Coyotes right now because of actions I did as a child. Those actions were sleeping in instead of making hockey practice and eating copious amounts of junk food which I think are less heinous actions, but nobody is running to my defense that the Coyotes won't sign me. Actions have consequences, well at least now they do, I'm not sure I am mad about it especially as his actions extended until today as an adult.
