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.

It's funny how guns never are part of the dialogue.
Do you have any comments regarding MongooseHugger's points?
It's an issue he feels strongly about, because it touched him personally. And it's an issue that gets nothing but lip service, slaughter after slaughter after slaughter. What would you prefer, that he mouths the usual rhetorical "thoughts and prayers" crap instead, the way our useless lawmakers continue to do?
Change happens when people care enough to MAKE it happen. Here's a young man who is not apathetic, not sitting at home playing video games or wasting his time on social media, but who cares enough to put himself out there, get involved, and try to be the change he wants to see.
We should be applauding that kind of engagement from our young people. Instead we have adults attacking him. That tells you how far down the tubes this country has gone.

Laura Ingraham is not the NRA. He just doesn’t like her opinions so he wants to pressure advertisers to cancel so her show will be canceled. What does that have to do with a mass shooting? I have a problem with him being a little b**** who can’t handle criticism. If he wants to go after politicians that’s fine, but this is ridiculous.
I admire David Hogg. He’s only 18 and never asked to be in the spotlight. But going through the Parkland shooting changed him. I think all people change after going through a traumatic experience. He has chosen to become an outspoken activist. Nothing wrong with that. It means he cares about our country. And he’s not afraid to go up against anyone. We need more like him. I did love his tweet to Ingram saying remember me lol. Sorry but he’s not going away
I am suspicious as to why he didn't go after the FBI but Laura Ingraham did in fact attack him in a pretty nasty way which is wrong considering he had just experienced a traumatic event.
When you’re in the public domain, you will get criticism. I thought what she said was stupid, but tame compared to what other people have said to them. He got a little power trip with his earlier boycott and needed to do something outrageous enough to get headlines again, so he went back to that well.

He didn't ask, he begged, pleaded and demanded to be in the spotlight. He went around back and snuck in to be in the spotlight and when the American people turned it off he moved to Twitter and tried to create his own spotlight. He's a little attention *****.

Aw you only say that because he’s an 18 year old trying to make a change. This is our next generation and they are tired of our government and policies. He’s trying to make people aware and bring attention to what’s wrong in our country. Someone in that generation has to start it whether you like it or not. So just keep insulting him I guess if it makes you feel better.
No one is forcing anybody to boycott anything. People are using their wallets to express their views. If you like capitalism, you should be all for this.
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.
You have a strange definition of capitalism. Harassing companies into dropping who they advertise with is not capitalism. People didn't stop buying their products.
