Mother of Exploited Shooting Survivor Turns Out to Be A CNN VIP & Anti-Trump Activist
Big League Politics ^ | February 20, 2018 | Peter D'Abrosca

The mother of a teenager who survived the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting appears to have high level connections at CNN.

“Great VIP tour,” said a post by Rebecca Boldrick showing a series of photos taken in 2016 at CNN world headquarters.

One photo shows her children sitting at an anchor’s desk.

Boldrick is the mother of David Hogg, who has gained internet fame for his activism in the days since the shooting

David Hogg @davidhogg111 We MUST continue fighting to prevent this from happening ever again. Thank you to all those that helped in the past days we have so much further to go. #neveragain 6:13 AM - Feb 18, 2018

The two recently appeared in a nationally televised interview on ABC.

Hogg and his merry band of anti-gun crusaders have been paraded around by nearly every cable news network in America.

Apparently, activism runs in the family. A series of Facebook posts show that Boldrick is an avowed Democrat and anti-Trumper.

“I can’t sit by and do nothing with what is going on currently in the USA,” says one of Boldrick’s posts. “If you like what Trump is currently doing please unfriendly [sic] or block me because you won’t like what I am going to begin posting.”

The tone of her son’s Twitter posts bear a strange resemblance to Boldrick’s Facebook posts:

@davidhogg111 Honest to god, how many more children have to be gunned down in American schools before you take action? I want to to put yourself in the position of those parents and children imagine getting the call that you'd never see your child or father again because they were killed

David Hogg @davidhogg111 While at school trying to make the world a better place? @POTUS @SpeakerRyan @VP HOW MANY MORE CHILDREN will have to die before you take action and put aside politics for the lives of millions of children? I'm looking forward to midterms because at this point that's the only way 6:37 AM - Feb 17, 2018

Controversy has abounded as teenagers lecture Americans on gun ownership and the Second Amendment.

Is this organic, grassroots teen activism in the wake of a horrible tragedy, or are these children being exploited in an orchestrated effort to serve the political interests of adults?

After the Senate rejected the ban, Stoneman Douglas student Jaclyn Corin tweeted,“This breaks my heart, but we will NOT let this ruin our movement. This is for the kids.

Fellow classmate David Hogg, who has become one of the school’s leading activists on gun safety, tweeted,“Elections are going to be fun!”

Disgraced Parkland deputy heard shots inside school building, told cops to stay away

“At one point he says to keep back 500 feet. Why would he say that?”

Timeline: How the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting unfolded

By David Fleshler and Yiran Zhu

Updated on March 9, 2018

On Feb. 14, Nikolas Cruz entered the campus of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and conducted one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history. Fourteen students and three staff members were killed, as Cruz fired off shots from his AR-15 rifle, and teachers and students barricaded themselves in classrooms. Here’s how that tragic day unfolded.

Cruz arrives

2:06 p.m. Uber picks up Cruz.

2:19 p.m. Uber drops Cruz off at Stoneman Douglas High School, just before the school day ends, when gates are open and it’s easy to enter the campus.

Cruz starts shooting

2:21 p.m. Cruz enters the east stairwell of Building 12 with an AR-15 rifle in a black case.

Between 2:21 p.m. to 2:28 p.m.

Freshman Chris McKenna sees Cruz on a second-floor hallway, loading his rifle. “You’d better get out of here,” Cruz said, according to McKenna. “Things are gonna start getting messy.”

McKenna fled.

Once the shooting began, the school went into a procedure known as Code Red, where the fire doors in the hallways are locked and students and staff are required to stay in their classrooms. But fire alarms went off, overriding the Code Red.

McKenna told assistant football coach Aaron Feis about Cruz’s gun.

“Let me go check it out,” Feis said.

As the Cruz started shooting, Feis ran down a hallway and pushed students to safety, using his body to shield a freshman girl. He was shot and killed.

In Algebra II in Room 1232, hearing the gunshots and screams, math teacher Shanthi Viswanathan placed paper over the classroom window so no one could see in and told students to get on the floor in the corner.

Her actions probably saved her students, said Dawn Jarboe, whose son Brian was in the class.

In her first-floor history class, Social Studies teacher Ivy Schamis was finishing a lesson on the Holocaust.

“We heard ‘Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!’ right outside of the door,” she said.Bullets pierced the door’s glass and hit six students, killing Helena Ramsay and Nick Dworet, both 17.

Cruz fires into Room 1213 , where a psychology class was being held, killing student Carmen Schentrup and wounding several others.

In classroom 1216, everyone dropped to the floor at the sound of shots.

“I called 911 and texted to my husband that my students have been shot and to call 911,” English teacher Dara Hass said. “I hugged the students who did their best to hide under and behind my desk. I communicated nonverbally to the students hiding across the room. These students witnessed three of their classmates and friends pass. We sat in silence while the 911 operator told us she was with us and help was on the way. I held back tears and panic as I hugged my students.”

Hearing the shots, geography teacher Scott Beigel unlocked a door to a classroom to let students hide inside. Beigel was shot and killed.

Peter Wang, 15, held a door open to let other students out of the building before him when he was shot and killed.

A while after the shooting, 2:38 p.m. Parent Howard S. Krooks: receives a shocking text from his son, Noah, a freshman.

“Dad, I think there is a shooter at the school I’m in.” “I think it’s real.” “How do you know it’s real?”

“I hear gunshots, right outside my classroom.”

Then, my son texted me the following:“I think Alex got shot!”

Aftermath

2:28:35 p.m. Cruz exits Building 12 and runs west towards the tennis courts and then heads south.

2:29:51 p.m. Cruz crosses field and runs west with others who are fleeing the area.

2:50 p.m. Cruz arrives at Walmart, enters the store and buys a drink at the interior Subway, then leaves on foot.

2:51 p.m. First notice of shootings to Broward Health North.

2:55 p.m. First victim arrives at ER at Broward Health North.

3:01 p.m. Cruz goes to nearby McDonalds, sits down for a short time and then leaves on foot.

3:33 p.m. First patient arrives at Broward Health Medical Center.

3:36 p.m. Lockdown at school lifted.

3:41 p.m. Cruz is detained near 4700 Wyndham Lakes Drive., Coral Springs by Coconut Creek Officer Michael Leonard. After being identified by witnesses, Cruz is placed under arrest.

...“At one point he says to keep back 500 feet. Why would he say that?”

Can't think of a single good reason, but I can think of several bad reasons...and one of those is, he had instructions.

...Broward Circuit Judge Jeffrey Levenson said the videos will be released Thursday at the earliest. The delay allows the Broward County Sheriff's Office or Broward County Public Schools time to appeal to the decision. It's not clear whether they will; the sheriff's office said Thursday that videos should be released.

Their usefulness will be entirely dependent upon in whose custody they have been held and if the video's are entire, without edits of any kind.

How will the reported 20 minute time-lapse be explained, I wonder?

The 20 mins, as I understand it, is in the broadcast. So it is recorded real time and can be seen real time in the school but then there is a 20 mins delay in broadcasting to the over all system. Why that even would be seems to be poor judgement for any reason.
