Let’s see who I can piss off’: David Hogg was born a pest, book says
Lakeland Ledger ^ | Jul 4, 2018 | Martin Vassolo

To his enemies online and elsewhere, gun-safety advocate and recent high-school graduate David Hogg can be seen as a pesky mosquito that happens to be buzzing into a microphone for the world to hear.

In the four months since a mass shooting at Hogg’s high school rekindled the gun debate in the United States, the sharp-tongued Hogg has become a leading voice of the student-led Never Again movement — and a lightning rod for contempt from opponents on the right.

That wasn’t an accident, he says.

In a new mini-memoir written by Hogg and his 15-year-old sister, Lauren, a rising sophomore at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Hogg writes that he’s been “difficult” since he was a kid. He explains how his struggle with a reading disorder and being treated like he was “defective” turned him into an activist eager for self-assurance.

“Like one morning in second grade, I distinctly remember getting up and looking at this striped shirt in my closet thinking, ‘I’m just gonna be a little s*** today. Let’s see who I can piss off,’” Hogg, 18, writes early in the book. “I guess you might say that I am a born contrarian.”

Camera Hogg is a laughable punk more suited for the 1930’s and 40’s Weimar Republic. He is angry at the world b/c he is a homosexual, and he hates the Bible and Christians for believing that homosexual activities are sinful. Too bad, Brownshirt! The Bible is God’s inspired Word.

If so then be a contrarian and channel your energy towards the politically correct norm. As it is you are just another follower.

Is this Hogg “mini-memoir” about the mini-Hoggs going to come with a box of crayons or do you have to supply your own?

His fifteen minutes are over. Now his parents are going to lose that union money. He has no original thoughts, he was just reading the script from his parents and the teachers union.

This is the type of personality that desperately seeks attention, as well as having axes to grind against all sorts of things. Don’t be surprised if someday he orchestrates a mass killing of his own, especially once he’s realized that he can’t sustain the level of attention he received following the Parkland shootings and regresses back to the nobody status he enjoyed prior to that.

Maybe someday deranged David Hogg can get the therapy he needs to become a normal person.

The fact that Hogg , is a sub-minor liberal publicity hound
and does not qualify to have his liberal leftist story posted here on FR , should in itself disqualify him from being mentioned anywhere on FR .
to cooperate with scum like HOGG , and advertise his BS is an insult to American History. Hogg , was not at the shooting. Hogg returned to school after the event , and then began his propaganda via cell phone. He is a liar and a sociopath

Some people just want to watch the world burn. Hitler Youth Hogg and his cueball girlfriend, for example.
