Molly McPherson argues that authorities who removed the "New Orleans Five" then portrayed themselves as victims while casting the group as the problem. You can't be both victim and hero, she says, criticizing how the narrative was manipulated.
His name's Charles Chuck Henderson, did a video and essentially, oh, I don't know, um, basically laid out a lot of things that we talked about in our lives. So what Molly suspects based on some of the views on there and the emails that were on there, uh, is that, that someone within the building watched it. And even watched the chat and heard from you all as well and said, could we try this? Like, I think this is what the problem is. And he— in his apology, that's what he did. He apologized to the New Orleans Five, as everyone mobilizing started calling them, which is exactly what we all said on our chat. That's what he needed to do. This act that the ADA surrounded them, law enforcement, removed them and then made them the problem and made the ADA the victim. You can't do that. You cannot be the victim and the hero in the same story. You can't do that. It doesn't work.
