David Hogg: Politicians Should Have Dealt With School Shootings ‘Centuries Ago’
Washington Free Beacon ^ | October 23, 2018 | Jeffrey Cimmino

Posted on 10/24/2018 12:50:08 AM PDT by kevcol

March for Our Lives co-founder David Hogg said politicians should have addressed the problem of school shootings "centuries ago."
.
.
Hogg decided to postpone his first year of college to work on November's midterm elections. He has said he has his eyes on running for political office in the future, and has expressed support for progressive causes and candidates such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, calling the New York congressional candidate a "future president of the United States."

he never said what the author states.

"We have to develop this courage when our political leaders refuse to have it," Hogg said. "When politicians say now is not the time to talk about this, they're right. The time to talk about this was decades and centuries ago when we should have ended the violence."
He said exactly what the author states.

“adjustment by reality “

It already happened. The reality is that the Mob would make him a media sensation if he would mouth their gun control propaganda. At least he is smart enough not to go to college and end up a couple of hundred grand in debt for some worthless SJW degree. The reality is that he can become a highly paid stooge in Mob Media or a filthy rich “socialist” Mob politician. Crazy like a fox.

“he never said what the author states.”

Yeah; he kind-a did. Not those exact words in that exact sequence, but that’s what he said.

Anyhow, I guess now we know why Nancy Hanks home-schooled Abe.

Moron.

There weren’t school shootings “centuries ago”.

And that was the time EVERYONE had guns and free access to them.

“...I really, really think this person needs mental adjustment by reality.”

He is young. It will come.

I just noticed his high cheekbones. Surprised he didn’t insert himself in the Fauxahontas news story by claiming he was 5% Idiot

I would favor “dolt” or “imbicile” in their more classic definitions.

Well, if one is to support communism/socialism, then they can’t be too bright to begin with.

This seems to fit bill: Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.

“”We have to develop this courage when our political leaders refuse to have it,” Hogg said. “When politicians say now is not the time to talk about this, they’re right. The time to talk about this was decades and centuries ago when we should have ended the violence.””

“He said exactly what the author states.”

No he did not. What the author did was unethical reporting. You can not take what someone says, interpret it, and claim that he SAID what you think he meant. You can report that he “suggested” or “implied” he meant school shootings, but you cant put words into his mouth.

It would be no different than if Jim Acosta heard Trump say he is a “nationalist”, and then report that Trump said he is a “White Nationalist”. It’s wrong no matter which side does it.

David Hogg... I gotta hand it to you. It is not often you get to see someone so willing to put their complete and utter ignorance on national display, repeatedly. Keep up the good work, you make the rest of us feel better about ourselves and the comparatively little mistakes we make.

I remember back when Socrates had to deal with a school shooter in his philosophy class - the other students jumped him as he was stringing his bow...

Thank each of you for the names I use to identify David Hogg!

BBQToadRibs, I hope he matures without managing to harm other lives.
