Shooting Survivor Quit CNN Town Hall After Refusing to Ask ‘Scripted’ Question
Breitbart ^ | 21 Feb 2018 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 02/22/2018 6:15:45 AM PST by WisconsinRep

Colton Haab, a student who survived last week’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, refused to participate in a CNN Town Hall on Wednesday night after he was told to ask a “scripted” question.

Haab, a junior at the high school, told Fort Lauderdale ABC affiliate WPLG that CNN invited him to speak at the televised town hall in nearby Sunrise, Florida, and that he and his parents had dressed up for the occasion.

But CNN then told Haab he would have to read a question that CNN had prepared for him:

Coopt their label. We are ALL survivors of the Parkland shooting. Just a little further away from risk and personal relationships.

Are therapists empowered to arrest patients?

Good for him.

I will have to ask why these students are being hailed as “survivors” as if they accomplishment something that makes them experts with a right to be heard. There were thousands of students in that building, and most were untouched.

If they were in the line of fire, they are survivors. If they saw it, they were justifiably terrified. If they only heard the gunshots, they were horrified.

The parents of the students that were murdered are the ones who have the right to protest, be seen and heard.

That picture of the few activists taken a few days after the tragedy revealed happy students with big smiles.

“Colton Haab, a member of the Junior ROTC” says it all.

I was visiting a neighbor a couple days ago who was asking about the “17” schools shootings this year and grabs a TIME Magazine to read to me. Needless to say, I proceeded to explain the lie call the rag every name in the book. This wasn’t the first time I went off on the neighbor about cancelling the subscription.

“I think any of these kids that were not shot at or injured aren not survivors of a this shooting but just were in school at the time of the shooting”.......

I can also honestly claim “I am a survivor”. Hell, I wasn’t even IN that school, nor was I in Florida. That’s the truth! Now tell me since you know the facts, is that “fake news”?

No, it’s almost like they knew one of their puppets would go jihad, and had the legislation ready.

How the hell can CNN after being caught so many times even call themselves a news channel.
It is a advocacy info commercial for the far left plain and simple.

In all fairness Stephen’s motive was far nobler than CNN’s.

"It’s ALL about the narrative."

The "children" saying we are too immature to buy guns before we turn 21 but, we must vote and shape what policies regarding Constitutional rights should be.

Correct. I asked that the other day. Its a large campus and very one that was there that day is refered to as a survivor. Nope aint so. I asked if a friend of mine that lives in Parkland was a survivor too ?

Do you live in America?

Then you are a Parkland Survivor too.

If the left wants to raise the age to 21 for guns then let us agree and raise the age for voting, driving in a by partisan agreement, and then let us see if the Dems want that.

Why don’t these people agree to ask the provided question, then stand up and as their original question? Are CNN goons going to rush out and cut your throat mid question?

They'd cut your mike and your camera, if it was live, and the taped versions would be scrubbed.

They are THAT dedicated to lying.

Sunrise, Florida. The reason the State of Florida passed a law banning local jurisdictions from passing gun control ordinances.
