His rehearsing his lines proved he doesn't have a great gift of speaking. Plus his angry speech in DC where he invited ridicule. They lived in California, his dad was retired FBI and his mom then got a job in Florida teaching. Somebody had groomed this kid to do what he's doing and helped the family settle in Florida. Maybe there are more Hogg's out there, in place, with potential shooters identified and being merely watched. Then they can trot them out for the cameras. Maybe next it will be a flood, or a police shooting, or some staged event. Something will happen and a loudmouth agitator will step up to be heard and " show us the way."
Lots of people looking to buy houses pick neighborhoods for their school districts, what they can offer their kids. As for your comments that David doesn't "scream out ability" in journalism---that's rather laugh-out-loud funny given the fact that he's been able to get under the skin of so many far-righties like you and inspire huge rallies for sensible gun control laws all across the nation. The rest of your post is filled with silly paranoia. There is no vast conspiracy out there planting kids like David in area where someone might commit a mass shooting.

Pretty sure there is not anyone in the US who is for kids being killed anywhere in the US.

This is the most amazing pat of this whole saga. Conservatives seem to be willing to toss away their future prospects hitching their wagon to DJT. The very worst thing that could happen to them is leaving him in there until 2020.

I see it a little differently..

This is the most amazing pat of this whole saga. Liberals seem to be willing to toss away their future prospects hitching their wagon to to a radical kid who wants to repeal one of the bill of rights. The very worst thing that could happen to them is promoting him in there until 2020.

The country on the whole agrees with these kids. The fact that some 25 advertisers have pulled out is proof of that. They see the writing on the wall and don't want to be on the wrong side of history.

You are hitching your wagon to the losing side of this issue, and if you continue to demonize this generation they will remember it for the rest of their voting lives.

But please, by all means, continue...

These kids must be doing something right. They have the right wing gun crowd all worked up. They just need more nuts like Nugent and media members like Ingraham making more foolish comments and their goals may be in reach.

So I guess if you're against the ban of all firearms you're for school shootings? At least that's the way you're making it out to be...

Oh I see, now we're basing the WHOLE countries opinions off of 25 advertisers now? Isn't that special...

Yes they are worked up. Dems have put this vulgar kid on a Public stage where he can call people murderers and espouse getting rid of our constitutional rights. Then they say you can't attack his speech because he's under 18.

You should be upset about that also.
