I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Parkland’s own Wesley Crusher appears to have been less than truthful about where he was during the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Either that or he has a bad memory.
Because his story has radically altered.
CBS news will be broadcasting a documentary about the “survivors” of the Parkland shooting. And in it, Wesley claims that he was home when he heard about the shooting.
Here’s Wesley’s quote from CBS News:
On the day of the shooting, I got my camera and got on my bike and road [sic] as fast as I could three miles from my house to the school to get as much video and to get as many interviews as I could because I knew that this could not be another mass shooting.
He was home?
Or does he mean that he left school, rode his bike home, then returned to school all before the police got there? Does his bike have a rocket on the back?
And if he was home, clearly he was less the truthful about being a “survivor” of a school shooting. After all, if you’re three miles away when you hear that there’s been a shooting, chances are, by the time you got to school the shooting was over. It only lasted six minutes for crying out loud.
But there’s a problem with this “Junior Reporter Rushing to the Scene” tall tale.
Because it wasn’t the story he told the day of the shooting.
As Weasel Zippers points out, in a Sun Sentinel story from the day of the shooting, Wesley’s account was radically different:
Senior David Hogg was in an AP Environmental Science class at about 2:30 p.m. at Stoneman Douglas High School when he heard a gunshot.
The fire alarm then went off for the second time that day. Students started to run out of the school. Hogg said he saw a “flood of people” running toward him.
He said students had been warned the school would hold a code red drill at some point in the future, and thought maybe that’s what was happening.
Dozens of students, including Hogg, were gathered into a tiny classroom by Ashley Kurth, a culinary instructor at the school. He praised Kurth’s actions and said “she definitely saved lives.”
Hogg, a TV production student, pulled out his video camera while on lockdown because he said he wanted people to tell their story.
“It’s horrifying,” Hogg said. “My sister talked to people yesterday that she’ll never talk to again.”
Now, if he was locked in the culinary instructor’s class, nobody would believe that she would say to him, “Yes, Wesley. You may ride your bike home and get your camera then I will let you back into this locked-down room.”
So which is it, Wesley?
Were you home that day? And were you really able to peddle your bike three miles to the school before the police even arrived there?
Or were you in Environmental Science class when you heard a gunshot then went into a locked-down room until the all-clear?
Unless he’s a Cylon and there’s more than one copy of him, it simply can’t be both.
So clearly Wesley isn’t being entirely truthful about his experience on February 14, 2018.
Now, I’m not floating a conspiracy theory. This isn’t the “he’s a 25-year-old crisis actor from California” nonsense.
These are Wesley Crusher’s own words with links to the stories in question.
I think his shifting narrative is a sign that Wesley Crusher has been less than truthful.
Look, it was only a matter of time before this scrawny little gremlin’s fifteen minutes of fame would super nova.
This is what happens when a child is shoved into the bright, glaring spotlight; he simply cannot handle it.
As I said the other day, he’s like Icarus flying too close to the sun.
Will any reporter or CNN host challenge Wesley’s shifting narrative?
My guess is no.
Instead, the news media will do their best to gloss over it and pretend that Wesley’s story isn’t falling apart like grandma’s sweater in the spin cycle.
But if his story is already unraveling, it’s only a matter of time before Wesley’s inconsistencies coupled with his vitriolic rhetoric makes him a liability for the anti-gun movement.
And when that happens, the news media won’t challenge him; they’ll simply pretend he never existed.
Hogg is the gun confiscators’ Manchurian puppet.
Marx For Our Lives!
Seig! Heil!
Radicalized opportunist.
Most (not all) of the diabolically brilliant radicals of the 60s never went to grad school, or finished college. According to Paglia (paraphrased) “they left education, dropped LSD and ruined their minds.”
Should I thank G-d those devils didn’t get into academia? Enough of them obviously did and turned activism something on par with a corporate endeavor - have risen to places of power, and have negatively influenced a couple of generations, perhaps 3 or 4.
Thanks..got it
Someone did some tweaking of that photo to slightly distort hair, ear and schnozz. They’re weird but not that weird.
“Fake but accurate”
Yeah it’s confusing, but I’m guessing he heard of a big crowd and thought it could not be ANOTHER shooting.
Another good question is why would many of the Senior Theater Group be in the freshman building, where the shooting happened? I bet none of the senior class was in the building, just nearby in some other building. If they are survivors then I survived 9/11.
What day was the big 6:00 rally?
He’s pretty scrambled when it comes to consistency.
This guy would have been blown apart by now except that Facebook and Twitter are actively censoring ANY criticism of him.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of an age teenager who didn’t have a car or even a driver’s license at this age.
I believe the younger generation doesn’t believe in the self sufficiency and, dare I say this, maturity to learn to drive, maintain and accept the responsibility of owning a automobile.
They see a car as a threat to their cherished childhood and want to be a child as long as they can.
Hence owning a gun is equally dangerous and best left to adults or the government.
That’s my 2 cent psychology lesson for the day.
Yes!!! His “role models”.
I agree.
A child cannot help what he looks like. His age is a bonifide discussion as he is entering the domain of adult discussions.
However his actions are his own and should be held accountable.
Ridiculing an child for his facial appearance is so "high school"
Freepers should be better than that.
