Survivors of a Colorado school shooting walked out of vigil for their slain classmate on Wednesday night in protest of politicians and other groups using it as a platform for gun control, a local report said.
The students from STEM High School, where two gunman killed a student and wounded eight others on Tuesday, began yelling from the stands that they “wanted to be heard” after two politicians and pro-gun control advocates addressed the crowd, according to the local NBC affiliate, KUSA.
They then stormed out of the vigil after Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet and Democratic Congressman Jason Crow addressed the crowd, The Denver Post reported.

Did you even read the snippet, let alone the article?
Here’s a hint: They were protesting the POLITICIANS trying to turn a memorial for their fellow student into a GUN-GRABBER’S diatribe.
I seriously doubt Highland Ranch votes for Rats. I have family that lives there.
This is a STEM school, where the kids are all smarter than average.
What a breath of fresh air.
Actually, it was mental illness. But good for the students.
The students didn’t like a memorial event being politicized, and recognized mental health being a real issue here, which the Dem pols they walked out on almost certainly didn’t talk about.
There was one gay perp and one perp “transitioning” female to male - so a biological female (XX) pumped full of testosterone. No one on the Left can admit there might have been any mental health issues involved.
GUN CONTROL *KILLS*
Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet HURTS CHILDREN

Okay STEM kids, just repeat those former words.
Repeat repeat repeat chant repeat repeat.
The endless anti-gun political psyops are getting old and worn out.
Emotions/Feelings.
After any tragedy, Leftists always appeal to the so called "heart strings".
Arguments of "if only we'd had _______ in place, this wouldn't have happened."
This resonates with a lot of soccer moms.
Arguments like schools should be safe spaces are advanced as well.
What is not talked about is Senator Plugs Biden is the one who introduced and advocated for legislation turning our schools into the targets they are today.
Introduced in the Senate as S.3266 by Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-DE) on October 27, 1990.

Just saw this event was organised by the Brady Campaign.
When the next school generation revolts against ‘the establishment’ and ‘the man’, it’ll be against Democrats and progressives.
What will be more revolutionary at 18 than being a wall-backing, gun-shooting, logical-thinking, heterosexual Christian?
STEM kids, do not walk out.
Chant loudly. Repeat often, repeat loudly.

GOOD!!!!
Gives me hope for this country.
I don’t care what they were protesting for. I don’t care if it’s for a right or left leaning cause. Kids should be in school learning Science, Math, History and English. They’ve turned schools into Social Justice Warrior clinics. We wonder why schools globally do better academically than ours? Here’s your sign.
I’ll restate my original. These kids didn’t give a damn about the cause. The first thing in their mind was a day out of classes. You’re naive to think otherwise
They don’t call them jarheads for nothing. The name wasn’t picked out of a hat. The name Jarhead was EARNED!
People are really sick and tired of these blood dancing ghouls materializing mere moments after these events for political gain.
On the contrary, they knew exactly what they were protesting and why and expressed it.
If you read the article, you'd have seen that. They understood that their friends death was being used as a political statement to enact more gun control when they were at a vigil for grieving over the kid's death.
They then stormed out of the vigil after Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet and Democratic Congressman Jason Crow addressed the crowd, The Denver Post reported.
The kids chanted “mental health” and hurled expletives at the media, according to the report.
The students returned, and some of them took the microphone, saying their grief being used for political purposes.
“What has happened at STEM is awful. But it’s not a statistic. We can’t be used as a reason for gun control. We are people not a statement,” one student said, according to video by KUSA.
“We wanted Kendrick to be mourned. We wanted all of you to join us in that mourning, but that was not allowed here. We all walked out. We were not kicked out,” another student added.
These kids are learning good lessons in politics and are hopefully being made into adamant conservatives as they see the disgusting behavior and opportunism of the democrats.
I, for one, am glad for what they did and said. The left needs to be called on their exploitation of tragedy to further their agenda of destroying this country.
Wow! I admit I am astonished. I saw this, and immediately assumed the students walked out to protest lack of gun control.
Amazing.
Kaylee Tyner is a 17 year old pretty blond who is a senior at Columbine High School. She spoke at the church service but she is the spokesperson for a gun grabbin' libtard program of indoctrinating the youth of America called MyLastShot. A gruesome program where people pledge to publicize their pics if they are killed in a mass shooting.
"With her #MyLastShot campaign, Kaylee Tyner wants students to pledge to publicize photos of their bodies if they die in a mass shooting"

Of course it's a gimmick. You are far more likely to be struck by lightening or slip in the bathtub then die in a mass shooting, but it makes headlines for the "gun violence" agenda.
We need to be ever vigilant because they will never stop.
