A lot of attention has been focused on the Parkland shooting victims, out of which have emerged a few gun control activists. That's understandable, and for many, a matter of interest, given the students' firsthand experience with the worst experience anyone can possibly have with a gun. All the same, the sympathy factor started to congeal early when news emerged that these right-on-the-spot activists were just dupes in the hands of professional gun control lobbyists looking to capitalize on a tragedy, well financed and organized even before the bodies of their classmates were cold. It all started to look questionable, and even more so as news that Soros money was behind so much of their organized protests.
But what's really starting to stand out now is the foul language, uncouth manners, and oafish behavior of the newly minted teenage gun control activists, who are obviously still the same spoiled brats they always were before the shooting, only now getting a lot of attention.

I disagree with this...hardly any attention has been paid to the victims. The perpetual whiny baby attention whores are the only ones getting the attention.
“Victim” is the highest status one can hope to achieve in the DemocRat party. So everyone wants to be a victim.
Their parents elected Debbie Wasserman Schultz. How could it turn out well?
Do not minimize or disparage the propaganda message here, it will resonate in a huge echo chamber with the low-information voters. People in general, and school children in particular, have a widespread and sometimes paralyzing fear of ALL weapons, instilled from a very early age in many households and reinforced by the messages of what happens to a child who happens to bite a Pop-Tart into the shape of a pistol and runs about shouting “Bang! Bang!”
Children have to be taught what a weapon is, much as they have to be taught not to stick things into an electrical socket, or to not run with scissors, or to remain quiet during specified periods.
The Universe is a cruel and unforgiving place, throwing challenges at each of us every day of our lives. The only real and universally punished crime is stupidity. Summed up, don’t be stupid, which is neither to offend others unnecessarily, nor should we be too easily offended ourselves.
Adjust to this reality, and you stand a pretty good chance of making it to the next sunrise.
I’m thinkin’ dws is on the west coast of FL. But, I’ve been wrong before.
Virtue-signaling from the status of victims... Quite a feat.
Who's disparaging? I'm highlighting. I completely understand the propaganda being foisted by Generation Snowflake.
Nope,she’s East Coast.
16 yeas old is a 4 year old teenager.... not a whole lot of knowledge and experience ...
I see that now.
They also elected that Sheriff. Could one say they hath reaped what they hath sown?
A supremely interesting factoid would be how many of the dead students’ parents voted for DWS & Sheriff Isreal.
No, she’s on the east (left) coast.
You are right the High School is in the 22nd district of Ted Deutch who is also a Democrat.
