Old people should demand an apology from the little POS Nazi.
He doesn’t know when to shut his ugly pie hole.
He is literally drunk on hate.
Remember, this kid is parented by government employees with guns and power. He sounds like son of Eichman in 1939.
Let him play out his old people fantasy. His fall will be spectacular.
Let him keep mouthing. He’s like the Rubin or Hoffman of the late 60s and 70s, when they alienated so many that Nixon stomped the crap of out The Beggar.
The youngest person one of these millennial dummys can threaten is me and my generation.
There are probably a few million people my age who love their freedom, their security and their children. And we’ll die for all of those.
And people older than I am will bury this guy alive.
I think it’s a dumb move.
No, he is actually drunk on all the attention, encouragement, and support (including financial) he is getting from the left/liberal crowd. They, of course, are exploiting him and other students because they are telegenic useful idiots. David doesn’t really know the full meaning of what he is saying (or rather being told to say by various handlers). He is too young to have the experience to understand that a lot of words amount to nonsense and, quite frankly, are insulting to the people he is trying to persuade.
Come to think of it, his energy is actually coming from the typical nihilism of youth: we will tear down the corrupt world of our elders and build a paradise in its place.
Good luck with that but I’m not holding my breath.
I’m from the baby boom generation and these kids can’t even hold a candle to the nihilistic havoc we caused during the 60s and 70’s. And we did it without smart phones and social media networks, I might add. And yet, despite all that youthful emotional energy poured out in the streets and into society, somehow, paradise did not occur.
The social and political order turned out to be pretty resilient to fundamental reordering and many of the “fresh”, “new” ideas/approaches to social problems being proposed were/are/or continue to be either half baked or come with very serious downsides. To be sure, some positive changes DID occur, but these changes to society were not an unalloyed success, and, in many ways, society got worse because nihilism is, at base, destructive and nihilists are, fundamentally, cynics; that is, destroyers.
I’d tell David to consider all the teens that DID NOT show up yesterday and especially to look closely at the backgrounds and ages of the people (and not all of them were teens) who did show up before being so confident in his pronouncements about shaping the future.
He is running on adrenaline at the moment and eventually that, along with his 15 minutes of fame, will run out. David is going to be pretty perplexed when the politicians move on from him once they have used up all his energy and he becomes a stale annoyance from a PR perspective. Too bad his parents (isn’t Dad an FBI agent?) are allowing this to happen to him. Well, he is 18; maybe they don’t have much control over him anymore.
By the why, what did David do during the shooting? What personal acts of heroism did he perform? There were some students and teachers that did act heroically during the shooting. Some were shoot, some died.
Let’s not forget them.
A gift that keeps on giving.
