Fresh off an evening flight from New York City where he appeared on several news shows, David Hogg darts into his house in Parkland, grabs a box of chocolates - a gift for a friend - and hops into his Honda Accord. Within minutes, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School comes into view in the distance. It's two weeks after the mass shooting that launched the student-led #NeverAgain movement for gun control. David, a spokesman for the group, has become a familiar face to TV viewers.

Funny from a little SOB who illegally drafts school kids to be political Viet canon fodder instead of learning new skills.

This kid is rationalizing away his own messed up world.

The NRA also owns no one, the NRA merely does what its members promote. It is grass roots. Someone remind this little idiot punk that his sht is not grassroot, however.

[cmj328]

Gun control is genocide against conservatives.

I think deep down this kid knows that.

[Russ]

Yes, he likes the attention and almost every word he utters is reported here on FR on a daily basis. Maybe it’s time we just ignore him.

[knarf]

So is beating the jit out of you ...... VERY releasing.

His mother was a CNN producer.

I think he is getting lots of tips.

Here's your occasional reminder that "gun reform" is coordinated JournaList-speak for "gun control". When you see or hear "gun reform", you know you're dealing with gun grabbers.

[Spok]

So converting despair over a loss into hatred of innocent people is now therapy? Any psychologists out there who want to tackle this one?

[miss marmelstein]

Is the Sun Sentinel taking a skeptical view of this brat? That first paragraph doesn't read well for him.

[From The Deer Stand]

So Mr. Hogg in your wisdom you blame the NRA and ignore the social problems that cause people to do terrible things. All to get your mug on TV so you can feel like a big shot (no pun intended).

[robroys woman]

My take away: He’s backing down.

[robroys woman]

Yep. That is exactly how I see it. He’s backing down.

This is a set up plain and simple. 4 law enforcement officials wait outside the school until the murderer is done! This little douche parades around as a leader and no one no one! takes on Obama’s program, the school board and the sheriffs office along with he FBI on any of this, WHY?
“PEOPLE. THE NARATIVE IS OVER HERE NOT OVER THERE! of yes and the scummedia has a big role to play in all of this

[Sasparilla]

And “activism” is an excuse for not being in school where he belongs. Nothing special about him.

[newnhdad]

these “kids” have been “greiving” on the best private jets, in the best hotels, in the best restaurants with Hollywierd celebs in tow.

What a joke.

[relictele]

Hogg will be declaring his homosexuality soon and hoping for a fresh breath of publicity.

[rlmorel]

Yeah. I thought the way to cope with grief for them was to do selfies and grin it up in green rooms.

[Old Yeller]

It’s a way to be an attention whore without getting the lead role in the spring musical at high school.

Here is where they get their example of how to "cope with grief" from:

So is doing something positive in your community.
