"I’m going to start off by putting this price tag right here as a reminder for you guys to know how much Marco Rubio took for every student's life in Florida," Parkland survivor David Hogg says at #MarchForOurLives.

That is the horrifying moment that the anti-gun movement lost the chance of ever winning me over. David Hogg is emerging as a skinny young Robespierre, so filled with righteousness and certainty, and stone-cold purity.

“Don’t scrawny and mouthy little high school boys get punched out anymore?”

I don’t know but he would have had a hell of a maxillofacial surgey bill where I grew up on the south side of Chicago.

There are people on public access TV who insist that all of these mass shootings and bombings either never happened at all, or are “false flags” planted by the deep state and “the Jews.” For example, they claim that no one was really killed in Sandy Hook or Las Vegas, that it was all staged. When I contacted one of these people on Facebook and told him he was full of crap, he accuse ME of slander.

I wonder what CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the liberal left would say about some “alt-right” guy who made that gesture after his speech.

"This kid Hogg is every bit as angry as the kid who shot up the school.He’s going to explode eventually one way or another."

From another thread...

"You look at Hogg, and you look at Cruz, and you realize Hogg is just Cruz turned inside out.

Look at that pic again - the three politicians are focused on the speaker for better or worse...Hogg is staring off into outer space! His face is vacant, just like Cruz!

On another site, someone claimed that since 1999 there have been 26,000 students killed in school gun violence. That’s well over 1,000 a year. Does anyone know where that stat is coming from?

In 2016 ALL homicides with victims under 18 total 736. The only way he gets that number is by counting ALL homicides of those 18 and under.

And yes, from looking at the figures, it looks like the bulk of those homicides are from youth crime (gangs, etc), and over 60% are of blacks.

“”I’m going to start off by putting this price tag right here as a reminder for you guys to know how much Marco Rubio took for every student’s life in Florida,”

Someone talk’s to my face like that and I have a hard wired reflex that brings an instant left hook.

Robespierre was used by the Soviets as a positive example.

He was also from the same town as the last person to be drawn & quartered in France (attempted assassination of Louis IV).

In the notes to Brillat-Savarin's tome, it mentions that Robespierre was pro death penalty, debating the issue with Brillat-Savarin. However, the last time I came across Robespierre/DP reference, it was claimed he was anti-DP.

Aside from that Hogg, how did you enjoy the oxcart ride?

[PeteePie]

That Hogg looks like an emaciated Goebbels.

"But seriously, to listen to him, his speech and mannerisms are not those of a normal teenager. He talks as if he’s parroting back what someone told him to say."

They're all drama queens, queer theater fags. No one said he was a particularly good actor.

This Hogg is a real boar.

"I wonder what CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the liberal left would say about some “alt-right” guy who made that gesture after his speech."

They accused Trump of giving a Nazi salute once when he simply waved to the crowd with one hand as he was leaving the stage after a speech, and they've tried to claim that the traditional "OK" hand gesture is a secret Nazi salute.

Thanks.

Skeletoebbels. Rhymes with gerbils.

“And his daddy is a former FBI agent, and mommy hates Trump completely.”

No wonder the FBI is so Obamaed up. Perfect denizens of Broward county.

"I could be wrong, but I believe there will come a day when you remember (and curse) the first time you heard of David Hogg."

You're kidding, right? 15 minutes of fame. By Labor Day, these will be the key topics into the mid-term election:

• SCOTUS successor to the retiring Kennedy

• Successful North Korea nuclear treaty

• New Special Prosecutor for FusionGPS/Alphabets

• Bolton brinksmanship with Iran

• $17M Congressional sexcapade slush fund finally exposed with names; Dems named in a 10:1 ratio to GOP, including sitting Dem incumbents

• Plans firming up for US Day: Armed Forces Military Parade
