Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg says he's been target of 7 assassination attempts

David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland, Fla., massacre who has become a highly visible gun control activist, claims he has been the target of an assassination attempt seven times the past year.

Hogg, 19, told The Washington Post in an article published on Tuesday that the attempts to end his life came from people who are "misguided and misinformed of what we’re actually here to talk about."

He said that if someone were to kill him because of his efforts to curb gun violence, it would most likely be "the stupidest thing they could do to try to end the movement. Because that would make it even more successful in the end. Because it would invigorate us and create f---ing change."

Hogg survived the mass shooting that unfolded at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018, leaving 17 people dead. In the aftermath, he founded "Never Again MSD," a student-led gun control advocacy group, along with other prominent student leaders.

The 19-year-old, who plans to attend Harvard this fall, recognized that Parkland students quickly started a larger conversation about school shootings and said it's "because we’re not vulnerable."

His parents should be slapped silly for birthing such an idiot.

Then he should be slapped silly for being born then lived.

LOL...that ‘look’ reminds of Jeanie getting pulled back in to her genie bottle.

A good/funny look, for her, not so much for attention poodle.

Hogg needs to provide details:
1) When did each attempt occur (date & time)?
2) Where did each attempt occur?
3) How did each attempt take place (How many assassins?/What weapons did they use?/Who are the witnesses?/How did he surive?/ Who were attempts reported to?)

Without above answers Hogg must be labeled a liar (or, at best, delusional).

And he used his super powers to thwart all 7 attempts. What power is that ? You turn sideways and you are so skinny the attacker cannot see you ?

My guess is someone tweeted something like “Someone oughta shoot that stupid kid” and he counted that as an “assassination attempt”....

Did he do anything special to survive?
_________________________

Yes! He was not there that day.

Therefore he is credited with heroic survival skills and with firsthand knowledge of gun violence, proper legal requirements for establishing gun control legislation, and just being a pain in the *ss.

He has that really angry, pouty look that the Democrats just love to put in front of the camera. Also very stupid so he is malleable to getting the proper message across to other young snowflakes (idiots).

Yes: just like Nathan, in Sophie’s Choice, “survived” Auschwitz - by not being there at the time.

I think it was the same snipers that were after hillary on the tarmac :)

besides didnt this student “luckily?” stay home that day and only arrive by bike after the shooting ?

how the hell does that make him a survivor if he was not there during the shooting

if that makes him a survivor then I must be a 9-11 survivor even though I was not there ,,,, wtf camera hog boy

If its true he was not there during the shooting then calling him a survivor is b.s.

do I got the story wrong or was this guy really not there when the shots were fired ?

7 assassination attempts? Either he is lying, or the 7 people ‘attempting’ to kill him can’t shoot straight.
