That young kid...”We are a people, not a statement” was remarkable.
What was un-remarkable watching that video was that the “vigil” WAS done as a gun control circus...and what was also completely unremarkable was the framing of the narrative by the news team that DID discuss it. Boy, listening to that on-the-scene turd of a reporter, who was evidently ALL in for a political anti-gun rally, and it was “unfortunate” that this group of students interuppted it. To paraphrase, of all people, the Forrest Gump character: “I’m sorry I had to have a fight in the middle of your gun control party.”
Her attitude just pissed me off. It was is she and her ilk were saying “Hey! Only WE can politicize this tragedy! You aren’t allowed to criticize US for that!”
I will say, when that video finished, it went right into another video, an interview of the young man who attacked the shooter, Brendan Bialy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNQ6c7Th1Y8) He is extraordinarily well spoken. HE is a real hero. Not these pathetic entertainers or sports figures. THAT guy.
I have to give those kids credit.
They said it like it was and they went up and took the mic and had their say.
They did not let themselves be intimidated and they did not let themselves be pushed around by the *Let’s all be nice* mentality that let’s people walk all over you.
They stood up for what was right and confronted their opponent in a great manner.
We need to see the right/conservatives do more of the same, call out the left on their despicable tactics.
