These kids are being handled. Bigly.
And trash the rights of law abiding young adults in Florida
The Douglas students inspired a walkout at nearly 3,000 schools for 17 minutes this past Wednesday. One minute for every life lost in Parkland. They allowed us into their newly donated headquarters. We agreed not to reveal the location.
These "children" are old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. They are NOT little innocents who don't know what they're saying. I get tired of people making excuses for a$$wipes who want to take away my rights. They are narcissistic little sh!ts who are saying what the statist media wants them to say because it gives them time in the limelight. They are basking in undeserved fame and really don't care what they have to do to get it. Kind of makes them whores who are getting paid in attention rather than dollars.
Emma Gonzalez: People have sent us a lot of death threats. And I, for one, am paranoid about a bomb being thrown in the window.
David Hogg: The fact that I’m getting death threats, Emma’s getting death threats, Cameron’s getting death threats, it shows the polarized state that America’s in.
from the report:
The students have already received more than $3 million in donations, most of it from Hollywood.
Sharyn Alfonsi: You guys have gotten checks from big names. George Clooney. Oprah Winfrey. Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group is helping you. The Women’s March people

An equally plausible theory is just that they’re two of the most smug, self-righteous people to become media faux heroes in a long time and that America is hardly split 50/50 on such things.
CBS was willing to move March Madness to accommodate this broadcast.
They told her to take a deep breath and speak slowly. She did it twice.
They want death threats, they should try being a conservative speaking out.
Yeah, now Florida will end up like Chicago.
If you are old enough to join the military service, you should be old enough to vote, drink and own firearms. Anything less is an affront to the United States Constitution.
“David Hogg: The fact that Im getting death threats, Emmas getting death threats, Camerons getting death threats, it shows the polarized state that Americas in.”
The little git still doesn’t get it. They are the ones who are polarizing America.
When I was a kid, we didn’t need “change”. High School students didn’t go around murdering their classmates. Kids were raised properly in those days.
Some of my Leftist friends on Facebook were celebrating these kids PERFORMANCE yesterday. I dont comment politically on Facebook anymore, but I was thinking about how many Leftists are really just useful idiots and pawns like these kids are.
And they don’t care a bit about the 7 killings in Chicago this weekend.
Seventeen whites killed and it’s a national crisis because it can tip elections.
A couple dozen blacks killed every month in one city and it’s no big deal because liberals can’t campaign on it.
They should call themselves White Lives Matter.
Plenty of Democratic voters have firearms and many of them are AR-15s what do the kids think of that?
