Denver students stage walkout to protest inaction on gun control

DENVER (KDVR) — Around 200 Denver Public Schools students walked out of in-person and virtual classes on Thursday as a way to push lawmakers to take action on gun control after the deadly shooting in Boulder on Monday. Students say they’re tired of mass shootings happening in their own backyard.
“To see these kinds of things, happen in our community over and over again, it’s just insane that it’s been this long, and action hasn’t been taken,” said student organizer Hermela Goshu.
They met outside of Denver East High School as a way to tell they’re leaders that they’re tired of their inaction.
“Seeing so many with Columbine, the ones at the schools and especially now Boulder which is only a 30-minute drive from East itself, it’s stressful,” said DPS student Lillian Jordan. “Especially being a teenager going to a high school, even when I was in-person, the constant fear of going on lockdown, or knowing there could be a shooting at any time.”
Colorado representatives Joe Neguse, Jason Crow and Diana Degette have all signed a letter asking President Biden to ban assault rifle imports into the United States.
“That is a great start but there needs to be more. Other states need to chip in, it needs to be a mass movement of people just demanding change,” said Jordan.
Useless idiots.
Might I suggest gun purchases and CCW classes for these kids? Learn to protect yourselves...
What did they walk out of?
It will take a whole lot to get them over their irrational fear of inanimate objects.
Did these little Einsteins offer any suggestions as to what control would’ve prevented this?
Funny how when a couple of Denver high school transgendered students shot a kid dead, no one said anything.
Per Majorie Taylor Greene:
“Colorado has everything the left has asked for:
Universal background checks.
Red flag gun seizure law.
“Hi capacity” magazine ban.
A passing gun-control grade from @GiffordsCourage.
And it still didn’t stop a thug like al-Issa from murdering Americans.”
Lol. An excuse to cut class. That’s all this is.
The “students” didn’t stage anything, this is all the teacher’s BS.
A couple of more favourites for people here (El Paso, Texas circa 1922 and Seattle, circa 1941-42)_.
I thought Boulder was already a bastion of left-wing anti-gunners.
Kendrick Castillo was posthumously awarded the title of Honorary Marine.
Yep.
They are free to move. May I suggest NYC where there are very strict gun control regulations. Surely they will be safe there.
Spoiled little ignorant brats.
UNDER AGED BRAINWASHED IDIOTS.
Suspect this is yet another case of teacher activism disguised as a student walkout. Students just like the idea of getting the day off.
Using willing minors lets Soros place his mobs for hire elsewhere.
Dear Students,
Your actions today are the main reason for the mass shooting you decry, Your deliberate flaunting of basic civics and societal norms to satisfy your emotional needs is the type of behavior that leads t5o marginalized people doing what they want without fear of consequences. You are the Problem NOT GUNS, Your attitudes and flaunting of basic civility is the real problem. But there are consequences for your actions in this School, you are ALL EXPELLED!
