Vigil for victims of Denver school shooting turned into protest Wednesday night

Pro-gun control student group at neighboring school had organized the event and invited Democrat politicians to speak

But STEM High School students became angry when they were denied the microphone and stormed out, chanting 'mental health'

They eventually returned and accused politicians of exploiting their tragedy

=======================================================================

An emotional vigil for one student who was killed and the eight who were wounded during the Denver school shooting turned into an angry protest Wednesday night.

The vigil, held at Highlands Ranch High School, which is close to the tragic STEM School Highlands Ranch, was organized by student gun control group Team Enough.

Democrat congressmen Michael Bennet and Jason Crow were invited to speak, while STEM students were invited to attend the vigil - one of two that took place yesterday.

But, as the political speeches wore on, STEM students became frustrated that they had not been allowed to take the microphone and stormed out.

The students paraded out of the venue holding up lighted cellphones, chanting 'mental health' and shouting expletives at the media.

They eventually made their way back into the gym where students were allowed to take the microphone and get their message across.

Good for them! Learning to speak up while they’re young. They’ll be good citizens, I expect.

Why are politicians speaking at a vigil? It’s not a political rally.

We, our family members and friends need to be protected from the dangerous mentally ill.

Deep state politicians tried to steer the emotions to their point of view but the students walked out.

As I posted yesterday, the STEM students at Highlands Ranch are mostly conservative.

It's never too early to dance in the blood of the victims in the cause of gun control.

Wow, so at least one of the shooters was a GIRL — doped up on testosterone?

That’s not going to sit right with our dedicated Big Media domestic enemies and their disciples.

Just listened to a Faux News report on this shooting. Not a single mention of the leftist LGBT Trump-hating background of the shooters.

They tried to make it one, just like the bastards did to Sen. Paul Wellstone’s [D-MN] funeral.

The kids would have none of it. They saw it for what it was, an exploitation of their grief.

The Dems are truly scumbags and apologies to real scumbags out there............

re: “Why are politicians speaking at a vigil? It’s not a political rally.”

From the DM story:

o Pro-gun control student group at neighboring school had organized the event and invited Democrat politicians to speak

o But STEM High School students became angry when they were denied the microphone and stormed out, chanting ‘mental health’

Daily Mail propagandists had real trouble keeping track of the pronouns in the article, appeared to have cited others calling her a him.

Including the Jay-Birds who $#*+ on city sidewalks and leave their drug needles around . . . You just can't normalize the type of behavior the left is trying to normalize because it isn't normal. Why is that so damn hard to understand?

That a$$wipe Jason Crow is my rep. What a colossal jerk.

And “Spiccoli” Bennett is nothing more that a bootlicking dem carpetbagging toady.
