These kids don’t have the faintest clue about why they are protesting. I remember a walk out protest we had for our school for the teachers that went on strike. We didn’t give a damn about the teachers. We looked for any excuse we could to cut classes.

Read the arthicle. These kids clearly wanted to grieve and honor their friends. This was also after hours event they didn’t have to be there.

Did you even read the snippet, let alone the article?

Here’s a hint: They were protesting the POLITICIANS trying to turn a memorial for their fellow student into a GUN-GRABBER’S diatribe.

These kids don’t have the faintest clue about why they are protesting.

On the contrary, they knew exactly what they were protesting and why and expressed it.

If you read the article, you'd have seen that. They understood that their friends death was being used as a political statement to enact more gun control when they were at a vigil for grieving over the kid's death.

They then stormed out of the vigil after Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet and Democratic Congressman Jason Crow addressed the crowd, The Denver Post reported.

The kids chanted “mental health” and hurled expletives at the media, according to the report.

The students returned, and some of them took the microphone, saying their grief being used for political purposes.

“What has happened at STEM is awful. But it’s not a statistic. We can’t be used as a reason for gun control. We are people not a statement,” one student said, according to video by KUSA.

“We wanted Kendrick to be mourned. We wanted all of you to join us in that mourning, but that was not allowed here. We all walked out. We were not kicked out,” another student added.

These kids are learning good lessons in politics and are hopefully being made into adamant conservatives as they see the disgusting behavior and opportunism of the democrats.

I, for one, am glad for what they did and said. The left needs to be called on their exploitation of tragedy to further their agenda of destroying this country.
