Guess Who’s Funding the ‘Student’ Gun Control Movement?
Constitution.com ^ | March 1, 2018 | Onan Coca

At the risk of being called cold or harsh, let me begin by saying every American has a right to his/her opinion on just about any issue. Including guns.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let me add this: the people playing partisan politics on the graves of the 17 innocent dead people from Douglas High School are despicable. I don’t care what age they are.

Over the last couple of weeks, a variety of conservative voices have gotten in trouble for insinuating that the anti-gun protesters coming out of Douglas High School seem far too practiced to simply be grieving students.

Benjamin Kelly, a district secretary for Florida GOP Rep. Shawn Harrison, was fired after wondering if the anti-gun students were actually just “crisis actors.” Yes, Kelly went too far. Yes, he spoke to soon about a subject that was far too raw, and he should have known better. But in his defense, the anti-gun student leaders simply seemed too prepared to respond to such a horrible disaster.

Once the students were proven to not be “crisis actors,” others began to wonder if they had someone training them.

‘Of course not,’ we were told.

The students were “born online,” so they’re better able to handle the media spotlight, and Douglas High School simply has an excellent debate program, which helped prepare these kids to speak in public about important issues. I kid you not. The Miami Herald seemed to actually believe that a school debate program could prepare grieving children to speak on international television in such a calm and direct fashion as to make everyone wonder if they’d done this before.

Where and what was the “proof” these students weren’t crisis actors? I’m skeptical about everything and just haven’t seen anything that rises to the level of “proof.” Plenty of questions remain with the only established fact being that there is certainly Soros money behind this gun control push.

really ? That may be so, but there are consequence when there shouldn't be.
Let a white law professor use the full "n" word in a case example in his class and see what happens.

Bullshit !

Perhaps not 'crisis actors' per se, but doubtless 'crisis tools' of the seditious Left.

It’s a veritable “Who’s Who” of leftwing money from Michael Bloomberg, to George Soros, to the baby killers at Planned Parenthood.

Soros helped the Nazis in WWII. The Nazis disarmed people so that they could round them up and kill them. Planned Parenthood has basically killed 50-60 million innocent babies.

These people want Death, they are not about preserving Life.

I bet that Georgetown mansion obozo built a wall around and gave to Valarie Jarrett has a direct line to Soros. If there was anyone to wire tap.. the unAmerican activity would blow you mind.

Last time there was manufactured outrage, Confederate flags and statues came down. Our history, Constitution, rights, and culture are being dismantled.

Let’s examine clues regarding motivation:

- Those who hate the Freedoms enumerated in our Constitution,
- Those who hate civilian empowerment against the threat of Tyranny,
- Those who are enjoying their success in stifling Free Speech, frustrated by lack of success in this area,
- Those who are enjoying their success in stifling the Free Exercise of Religion,
- Those enjoying their success in stifling 4th Amendment protections,

Oh, and then there are the foreign enemies of America....

So who is funding them? If you can’t answer the question the headline poses in the first few lines, it’s simple... I ain’t clicking.

The author says the media coverage of the event:

the news coverage of the aftermath has been a disgusting travesty and an education in bad journalism.

The author should know by now that there is not deviding line between the elite establishment media and Progressives of both parties. They are all part of the Progressive establishment.

Did anyone else catch the hour-long interview Hogg did with The Orlando Sun Sentinel? The interviewer mentioned that there was a PR company they kept "bumping into" when trying to book the kids for the interview, and that the PR company was trying to manage the message. Hogg responded by giving her the stink-eye when she said that, then replied with a non-answer.

One young woman ‘crisis actor’ pictured in anguish over the Parkland shooting was the same young woman actress pictured in two other school shootings. The photos were scrubbed from the internet but one Freeper kept copies. I think the Freeper was Diogenesis.
