Parkland Survivor Tears Into NRA’S Dana Loesch After Contentious Town Hall: ‘How Dare She’
Mediaite ^ | February 21, 2018 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

On Wednesday night, a survivor from last week’s shooting in Parkland, FL had harsh criticisms for NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch for her appearance at CNN’s town hall.

Alfonso Calderon, a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, spoke with Don Lemon about the televised event, and was asked specifically about what Loesch had to say.

“Sincerely, I feel like she is — she isn’t living in reality. How dare she.” Calderon said. “The mother the Scott Biegel, one of my teachers at the school, was talking about when the amendment was ratified, and she went off on a tangent about how there were more than muskets at the time. This is so irrelevant! This isn’t at all… we don’t care about that at all. What we care about is seeing change and now.”

Some people will do anything to prolong their 15 minutes of fame.

Alfonso Calderon says he does not care at all about the United States Constitution. Duly noted.

3500 survivors. Funny they only report the statements of gun grabbers.

And yet not a bit of anger or criticism leveled at the Broward Sheriff or the deputies that stood by and watched the carnage from safe cover

Amazing

It should be a Geico commercial. The sheriff’s department not protecting kids from a killer? Surprising. Not surprising - The NRA supporting gun owners rights.

I'm glad I'm not the only who sees the idiocy of their argument, information technology has advanced 1,000 times great than gun technology. So clearly we need to ban the first amendment as the founders never contemplated such rapid changes.

“3500 survivors. Funny they only report the statements of gun grabbers.”

My first thoughts, too.

Also - if you’re not recovering from your injuries in the hospital, you’re not a ‘survivor’ and I don’t give a rat’s rump what you snot-nosed little gun-grabbing, brain-dead Commies have to say.

Dana Loesch, like Marco Rubio, was a fool for going into a snake pit like the CNN conducted town hall meeting. Governor Scott showed more wisdom in staying away from a staged event like this.

The Florida school shooting for the Left has become a weak echo of the Chinese Cultural Revolution where the least educated, but most fervent youth took over. Millions died. Of course only the Chinese military factions had weapons, which is why millions died.

I want to know are they hiding the founder of this group, Cameron, since it came out he had been espousing violence, including wishing NRA members being shot, punching republicans, etc.

And communist reporters using "Freedom of the Press" to beam this BS 24/7 via broadcast networks and cable tv. How dare those reporters use anything but a hand cranked printing press. I say we limit them now, with common sense legislation.

Yes, all so called news readers must go back to distributing pamphlets and shouting from a soapbox on the street corner.
