CO students walk out and chant 'mental health' protest at calls for gun control during vigil
Washington Examiner ^ | May 09, 2019 08:20 AM | Julio Rosas

A vigil for the victims of the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting in Colorado that was organized by Team ENOUGH, part of the gun control group Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, prompted a walkout by students opposing what they viewed as politicization of the tragedy.

2020 presidential candidate Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America activists made remarks that prompted some students to leave. Students then held their own vigil outside and chanted "mental health" in response to the calls for more gun control.

Yes they get it, since one shooter is a known Obama snowflake and Trump hater and the other shooter was a transgender “transitioning” or whatever.

Those two need mental health treatment.

Here's a thought: Maybe the kids' chant of 'mental health' was directed at the politicians.

Like I said, just a thought.

“Mental health” would mean treating the crazy girls who think they are boys, instead of enabling their mental illness.

Yep, the school psychologist should have demanded a meeting with the parents and insisted the kid get counseling.

This is a good thing, and I admit, I’m a little bit surprised.

We could end 99% of gun violence if Democrats were banned from owning guns.

I think it makes a difference that the students were STEM focused, not liberal arts. They are less likely to be fooled if they are used to doing their own problem-solving and research. Not a school for sheep, I guess.

They're out there. At the Trump rally I went to out of 7,000 people 1/3 were younger adults. That ought to freak the ems out.

Yesterday I though the younger kid was a guy trying to trans into a girl. Now it seems the younger kid is a girl trying to trans into a guy. I guess that is some what the story of Cher’s kid Chas Bono. Formally known as Chastidy Bono the little girl. Now Chas Bono is a trans who claims to be a guy.
