It has just been a week. The kids are being used as tools as well as being opportunists themselves. This David kid aspires to be tv "journalist" and I'm sure his family is encouraging him to take this opportunity to get his face out there. Let's not let this crisis go to waste when we can become famous. He is actually terrible at it as he struggles to get the right words out in that silly interview where they tell him what to say. But I don't think he is an actor, just a typical kid in YouTube age looking for a little fame. None of these kids really understand the complexity of this issue. This is sad, it really isn't about the dead classmates.

There are truly despicable people who are denigrating these kids or questioning their authenticity. Kids who just watched classmates, teachers, and friends get shot up. Good for them for turning their grief to anger and action.

Not all the kids are on the gun control liberal band wagon. Is the MSM giving them equal time ? No !!!

The survivor didn’t knock his fellow classmates for pushing gun control, noting that they are well-meaning and passionate about the issue, but questioned why the media wasn’t giving attention to students on the other side of the debate.

They are both fake, phony, paid actors. Their little “group” is ridiculous. I cannot believe people are so gullible when they are putting up new videos of this bunch every hour.

How do you know what they understand?

We've elected a bunch of supposedly intelligent educated adults to Congress who have done NOTHING to protect these kids. They stand idly by while shooting after shooting happens. These kids' voices deserve to be heard.
