School Protests

I could just see some fat smelly bearded guy saying "squeal like a pig".

Kinda like that guy on that one show. I think it was deliverance or something.
 
Oh you guys are way too mean.

He still just a piglet you know!

But he should definitely be in jail for giving false information. And he should stay there for the weekend and the judge should haul them in on Monday afternoon asking why he shouldn't stay there longer for being such a liar.

But I think this deserves investigation because it sounds to me like there is something more suspicious.

Like maybe Hogg knew about the whole thing in advance, and actually was at the school when he realized that he didn't have his camera, and rushed home on the bicycle to get it.

I'm trying to think of some other reason to explain that inconsistency but the most likely one was that he knew something was going on.
 
An on site survey of the march indicates that the average attendee was a 49 year old, college educated woman. 10% were under 18. The event attendance was about 200,000, not 800,000 and that was reported buy the lefty CBS network. Only 1/3 had contacted their reps in the previous year. For the people that this was their first ever protest, only 12% said that gun law changes was their driving force. Most said Peace and Trump were larger factors in attending. 79% identified as left leaning and 85% voted for Hillary. But it's a movement!

I found this particularly repulsive:
**************************
Hogg . . . complained that the rights of students were being violated after Douglas High School began requiring students to use clear backpacks, to cut down on possible weapons being smuggled in.

“It’s unnecessary, it’s embarrassing for a lot of the students and it makes them feel isolated and separated from the rest of American school culture where they’re having essentially their First Amendment rights infringed upon because they can’t freely wear whatever backpack they want regardless of what it is,” Hogg said.
******************

This kid believes that his right to wear the backpack of his choice supersedes my right to protect my kids from harm by owning a weapon!

Oh, how I would love to debate Hogg on this point.
I could support his "right to wear the backpack..." and I send my kid in with this one...


Certainly Hogg could not find that objectionable. Or is Free Speech only available to those who agree with him?
 
I'm still confused how a backpack has anything to do with rights :quote: in the first place.

It's a backpack.

It's a backpack.

Many people can no longer differentiate between needs and wants or rights and priviledges. Everything is now a need and their right.

...and everything they find offensive is not a need or a right.
 
We now hear from a kid that was shot multiple times in the school massacre. He was a hero who was wounded saving others. He is the last to be released from the hospital. Unlike the media whores, his take it the shooting doesn't blame the NRA or the AR-15.

Florida school shooting hero blames sheriff, superintendent

PLANTATION, Fla. —
A student gravely wounded while saving his classmates' lives by blocking a door during the Florida school massacre said Friday that the county sheriff and school superintendent failed the victims by not arresting the shooter before the attack and by allowing him to attend the school.
An attorney for 15-year-old Anthony Borges read a statement from him during a news conference criticizing Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and Superintendent Robert Runcie for the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland that killed 14 students and three staff members.

Borges was shot five times, suffering wounds to the lungs, abdomen and legs. He was released from a Fort Lauderdale hospital Wednesday morning, the last of the 17 wounded to go home.
Borges, too weak to talk, sat silently in a wheelchair with his right leg propped up. His statement specifically attacked the Promise program, a school district and sheriff office initiative that allows students who commit minor crimes on campus to avoid arrest if they complete rehabilitation. Runcie has said shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz, a former Stoneman Douglas student, was never in the program, but Borges and his attorney, Alex Arreaza, said school and sheriff's officials knew Cruz was dangerous.
Deputies received at least a dozen calls about Cruz, 19, over the years and he spent two years in a school for children with emotional and disciplinary problems before being allowed to transfer to Stoneman Douglas. Last year, records show, he was forced to leave after incidents — other students said he abused an ex-girlfriend and fought her new boyfriend. Weeks before the shooting, both the FBI and the sheriff's office received calls saying Cruz could become a school shooter but took no action.
Runcie and Israel "failed us students, teachers and parents alike on so many levels," Arreaza read for Borges, who sat next to his father, Roger. "I want all of us to move forward to end the environment that allowed people like Nikolas Cruz to fall through the cracks. You knew he was a problem years ago and you did nothing. He should have never been in school with us."
Arreaza said the family supports the efforts by Stoneman Douglas students David Hogg, Emma Gonzalez and others to end gun violence but may not always agree with their methods. Borges is a U.S. citizen born to Venezuelan immigrants.
Arreaza said that although Borges' father, a maintenance worker, appreciates that people consider his son a hero for protecting classmates, he believes such talk detracts from the serious message that action must be taken to stop school shootings.
"He doesn't want there to be anymore bubblegum hero stuff," Arreaza said.
Anthony Borges visited Stoneman Douglas for the first time since the shooting Thursday but said in his statement that he is scared to return, fearing there could be more violence.
More than $830,000 has been raised for him in online donations, but Arreaza said his medical bills will likely exceed $1.5 million. The family plans to file a lawsuit soon against Cruz, the estate of his late mother and a family that housed him before the shooting. Under state law, the family can't sue the school district and sheriff's office until a six-month waiting period expires in August.
The sheriff's office and school district did not return after-hours calls and emails Friday seeking comment.
 
I have an idea about backpacks, how about none allowed. Carry books like we used to. It would be hard to carry a weapon when one is carrying an armload of books.

Just an idea.
