Aalayah Eastmond, a survivor of the February mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla., on Friday offered harrowing testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee during the final day of the hearing on the nomination of President Trump Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh.
She expressed concern about Kavanaugh's views on guns, noting that she thinks he would strike down any assault weapons ban. She urged the committee to appoint a judge who will keep Americans safe from gun violence.
She told the committee in grave detail about the day a gunman opened fire in the classroom she was in and how she used the body of a classmate who had been shot to shield herself from the bullets.
I followed every movement of his body, she said. When he fell over, I fell over with him. I then placed myself underneath his lifeless body. Placing his arm across my body and my head underneath his back. Bullets continued flying.
She also slammed Kavanaugh over reports that he refused to shake the hand of a slain classmates father earlier in the week.
If Kavanaugh doesnt even have the decency to shake hands with the father of a victim, he definitely wont have the decency to make life-changing decisions that affect real people, she said.
Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter died in the Parkland shooting, has accused Kavanaugh of refusing to shake his hand when he tried to introduce himself to the nominee on Tuesday.
The White House pushed back on that account, saying security intervened, but Guttenberg has said he's certain Kavanaugh asked his security detail to remove him from the hearing room.
I suspect that for every student shot dead, 100 or more die from recreational drug overdoses.
How about high school students turning in their school pushers to save the lives of their fellow students?
Those Democrats are brilliant. Hysterical drama conquers all.
The Democrats remind me of three year olds throwing a temper tantrum.
Once again the adults will have to take charge.
I am getting VERY weary of the “Parkland survivor” story.
They wear it like a badge of honor.
.
The integrity of this man is incredible, to sit there and have to listen to kamala the idiot tell him that even though its not in the constitution it is protected by the constitution and then tell him this isn’t in your little book you carry with you, or this parkland idiot snowflake who was uneducated by the system to know that it was Obamas social justice school policies and the county sheriffs office that helped kill those children is shameless.
Thanks!
I don’t mean to be a numbers nazi, but it really does matter when you think of just how many people they want to victimize.
Democrats need an issue to tar and follow him after he's confirmed.
It will be their talking point whenever he's discussed.
'Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh, who during his confirmation hearing, said something really, really bad...'
It's a means to taint every ruling he issues.
The parkland blood is on the hands of Barack and the NAACP.
The Sheriff and the schools are their facilitators.
I bet Hogg was pissed he wasn’t picked to testify.
Why did Fred Guttenberg send his kid to school where the Sheriff’s office and FBI had been notified that a former student had broadcast that he was going to be a school shooter?
Weenies screeching at fantasies.
As if Kavanaugh will murder school children.
Unadulterated bullsh*t.
Yes we need to take the advice of brain washed kids when picking Judges for the highest court in the land.
A Nutcase shot some People so have the SCOTUS take away the God Given Second Amendment Rights of 330,000 United States Citizens.
I thought the second amendment was settled law?
Sorry that action is preserved for “We need abortion to save women’s lives” testimony day.
It is because of the RULE OF THREE.
The best minds in the world, throughout written history, have made intense studies of how the MIND works. With the advent of RADIO and TV (and now the internet), Large corporations put tons of money into the same RESEARCH. They hired the BEST OF THE BEST to find out how to manipulate people.
They learned quite a few 'tricks'.
One of them is this... If something is heard or viewed by a person THREE TIMES, the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND stores it as fact. The 'media' uses this trick constantly. It is a favorite technique of the Democratic Party.
It was also a favorite of these guys.
All my compassion and sympathy to those who lost loved ones to an INSANE MURDERER in Parkland, Florida.
But I am real tired of hearing from these SO CALLED SURVIVORS.
They are full of sh!t and only in it for their 2 minutes of fame.
That shooting and the publicity afterwords has been the high point of their lives.
They have always been and will always be; IRRELEVANT, INSIGNIFICANT, little NOBODY’S.
Hopefully they will go back to their normal operating mode shortly.
330 K is a little low, try about 30 million.
Not all of whom are admitting to it.
As I watched the Gorsuch hearings and the more recent Kavanaugh circus, I was again struck by the advanced age of most of those senior members inhabiting the center of that long rostrum. Several of the octogenarians have been in their offices over 40 years. Because the voters of their respective states or in the case of the House, their districts chose to re-elect them, they have every right to be there.
But as I surveyed the RIGHT side of that long bench (the Democrat peanut gallery), I noted the relative youth of those members.
Which leads me to this observation: Many of us who have complained that these positions were never intended by the Founders to be lifetime gigs and that fresh blood and new ideas might bring new solutions to the new problems of the 21st century.
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks: Given that the Cultural Marxists who largely control the American educational system from pre-school to post-graduate degrees have had an additional 50 years to intensify their indoctrination of those younger citizens who might challenge and defeat these old-timers, the new ideas this new blood might bring with them will be rooted in the same Marxist ideology with which they have been indoctrinated and that has historically ALWAYS morphed into Maoist/Stalinist style TYRANNY.
It was then that I muttered WE’RE SCREWED.
That said, there MAY be a way to save this unique IDEA called America. That’s for good people who still believe in that IDEA to retake control of the educational system and institutions here.
If you’d like to learn how far the Cultural Marxists on other side have advanced against that IDEA, you might find the YouTube series The Fed-Up Professor of interest. The link to the first in the series is here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCSDQ66SUWQ&t=23s
Because these cultural Marxist controlled places churn out hundreds of thousands of NEW brain-washed yutes every year, we’d better get a handle on THIS PROBLEM or everything else we do is akin to REARRANGING DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC! (I can almost hear the orchestra playing Nearer My God to Thee.)
What then when THEY vastly outnumber those of us who remember the Founders’ sacrifices and warnings?
As they DO NOT comport with their agenda, YouTube’s algorithm - which they claim writes itself! - shoves videos like ours to the bottom of the pile. For that reason, if you find them of interest/benefit, PLEASE SHARE THEM.)
If we are talking guns why not have someone from Southside Chicago give a speech?
