Parkland Student Hogg: FedEx Must Drop NRA Support or We’ll “Take Care” of Them
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/24/2018 9:13:22 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Is fame giving delusions of grandeur to David Hogg, the Parkland student who’s become a media celebrity as an advocate of more gun control?

During a long interview with Joy Reid on her MSNBC show today, Hogg at one point looked directly into the camera and said that in contrast with several other companies that had offered discounts to NRA members:

“FedEx still has not dropped their deal with the NRA. The CEO is one of the biggest donors to the NRA. And we have to take care of them. And as a result, if they aren’t going to, we’re going to have to take action as the consumers.Because we have the powerin a business, just like we have the power in our democracy.”

I doubt that he’ll take action against Procter and Gamble, if they have any deals with the NRA. Gotta keep those Tide pods coming!

OK, folks, how in the world do we buycott FedEx to counter these little snotnoses? I mean, if you order from Amazon, for example, it sometimes comes USPS, sometimes UPS, and maybe sometimes FedEx. I’m not sure that can be controlled.

There’s no way Baldy Girl, Hogg Boy, and a couple others weren’t involved in triggering Cruz to take action.

Scripts for certain kids were ready within a few hours. The press knew exactly which students they were supposed to interview. (Hogg’s mom is CNN “VIP”. Coincidence?)

Everything was too choreographed, and anti-gun talking points were too similar and contrived.

Might be time to start a new shipping
company. Where there is a need, the void
will be filled.

Crazy as that is, it IS striking how quickly these events are politicized, how quickly a narrative develops, how quickly money flows, how quickly marches and demonstrations and boycotts are planned, how quickly a conservative bogeyman (the NRA) is falsely blamed, who quickly the real culprits are forgotten or exonerated, and how quickly the event is put to use for left wing objectives.

Don't forget the professionally-produced printed protest signs.

They've hired some of the best event management talent available.

This kid thinks he has some kind of power.

He sounds just a little like Nikolas Cruz.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! He wants kids to boycott Florida for Spring Break. That should go over well with them.

I believe I read a few days ago that his mother is some kind of big wig at CNN. I’m betting that she is scripting his words.

If not Hogg, some other opportunist...

But the true threat is the MSM that’s scripting the assault against the 2nd Amendment — specifically CNN and Comcast.

Remember that next time you write a check to Comcast.

This kid seems to be enjoying fame a little too much. When his 15 minutes are up, who wants to bet he tries to get on “Dancing with the stars”?

What is he going to do, anyway? Will he get his auto shop class buddies to dismantle the FedEx truck engines?

While these students have decided they are speaking for their community - the families of the dead have been preoccupied with funerals and the grief of losing their child.
Every day new details have emerged of the incompetence of local law enforcement.
At some point the families of the dead will speak for themselves.
Let’s see if they have opinions of their own.
