If only Hogg and that other girl hadn't bullied the shooter, maybe their classmates wouldn't have died in the first place. And maybe if we didn't have that Obama PROMISE program around, they wouldn't have either. And maybe if the Broward Cowards had actually gone into the building, fewer people would have died. And maybe if his dad's job, the now DISGRACED FBI, hadn't dropped the ball over and over, we could have stopped the shooting.

And maybe if so many people didn't have such easy access to so many guns.............

It's funny how guns never are part of the dialogue.

That's why he's effective.

Not triggered but sickened by how he is being used by grown adults trying to further their own political agenda.

Hogg probably thinks he's an important figure in this whole discussion, but really he's just a convenience. He is not being used for his intelligence or insight on the discussion, but for the shock factor of him being a kid, and how we should all be able to relate.. blah blah blah.

Not falling for it.

Who listens to AM radio anymore anyway? I thought that went the way of the WWII vets and people of that age group. The last time I ever listened to AM was WABC 77 New York with Cousin Brucie and the top 40 on my little 6 transistor radio back in the 60's. The sound quality of AM radio stinks to the high heavens! It would annoy me as much as the RWNJs that appear to dominate its airwaves. I'll stick to FM!

Sure, but what's it called if you go after someone because you don't like what they are doing? At least those like me, tried to make the point, he has no clue what he was talking about....and now that he had his few minutes of fame.....he had to come back because nobody - nobody was listening to him...

Hey, maybe if the police would have done their job, oh I don't know, 35+ times prior, they could have stopped cruz....but you know, having an arrest record would make it hard on those school kids tget a job after they graduate.....



Quote:
According to CNN, which obtained documentation, police responded 39 times to emergency calls at Cruz’s home over a seven-year period. The codes included “mentally ill person,” “child/elderly abuse,” “domestic disturbance,” “missing person,” among others, CNN reports.



I know, I know....facts....

What you're really pissed off about is that it worked, because Hogg caused a number of advertisers to pull their business from Fox. Good for him.
I’m pissed that people can’t handle differing opinions. And because they disagree, they want to shut it down so no one else can hear it. I can disagree without wanting to shut it down.
