The March for Their Lies

History, it is said, is a lie agreed upon, and the so-called March for Our Lives celebrated the lie that easy access to guns and the NRA is placing our schoolchildren's lives in jeopardy. You did not hear from any speaker – the foul-mouthed activist David Hogg in particular – that neither the march nor the burial of 17 Parkland victims would have been necessary but for the failure of law enforcement agencies to do the jobs assigned to them.

One speaker, activist student Emma González, stood silent for the six minutes and 20 seconds it took the gunman to dispatch his victims at Parkland. She did not mention that during much of the time, four Broward officers stood outside doing less than nothing as her classmates were being slaughtered by a student well known to the school, to the cowards of Broward led by Sheriff Scott Israel, and to an FBI obsessed with Russian colluders under GOP beds. There was no march on the Broward County Sheriff's Office or the FBI building in Washington, D.C.

Yet, when the LEOs do their job, they are criticized and vilified. (Ref shooting in Sacramento last week) Where's the win in this?

And therein lies the rub. If these “students” were TRULY concerned about safety, then WHY NO MENTION of these factors that undoubtedly led to the slaughter

Yes, NO MENTION, Emma . . Hoggie . . Kasky . . . WHY? You guys are so smart, answer . . .

The REAL ISSUES:

1. Why no confinement of Cruz based on the 40 plus complaints, known to the fbi and Coward County Sheriff and Supt/Principal?

2. Why no entrance of CC LEO into the skool once the shooting started?

3. Was Cruz spotted walking to/entering the skool? Why was he not confronted?

C’mon High Skooler Brain Trust . . gettonitt right away!!

It’s all a part of the culture of anarchy fomented by the left.

Keep in mind that all of their reaction is retrospective. So our laws will always be deemed just outside the “acceptable” limits to prevent these events based on the characteristics of the offender? So, he was 19? Age limit should have been 21. If he had been 21? Then the age limit should be 22 or 24. He had a 10-round magazine (clip, as they always err)? Then it should have been limited to 7. He bought it after a background check? Then there should have been a 3-day, 4-day, 2-month waiting period.

“How about everyone doing their job?” so said my 14 yo granddaughter.

Do your job? Not in the job description any more for a lot of people. Sad dang state of affairs.

From another thread, too bad the kids can't read and comprehend: The Parkland kids had a chance to actually affect change that could have prevented the Parkland shootings. They could have protested and pressured the Broward County School District and Broward County Sheriff Department over policies and failures that allowed the killer to be free to murder 17 people after 39 police visits to his home, his parents’ reports that he was a threat to the school and his own report to authorities that he was a threat. Government failed the kids at Parkland all the way up to the FBI. But the kids were hijacked by leftist activists and pivoted to guns, rather than the government. In fact, in the pivot they are arguing for much more power to be vested in the very government institution that failed them at Parkland. But they don’t really know that. They’re just kids.

“Do(ing) there jobs” is not high on the priority of leftists in government, schools and law enforcement with an agenda.I believe the system besides be incompetent when run by the left is designed to fail inevitably. Failure is always an opportunity by the left to strangle the system with more laws, regulation and leftist bureaucracy solidifying more power as time goes on. This crisis process will keep on going and Americans will continue to die and lives ruined. This was all preventable if everyone did their jobs but they blame the NRA. If this were not so sick and sad, it would be laughable.

The Gonzalves-Hoggies admit to bullying the perp BEFORE
the killings until he murdered those people.

WHY ARE THEY LAUDED FOR SYSTEMATIC BULLYING OF A CHILD WHICH LEAD TO MURDERS?
