They all speak quite well and articulate their thoughts and ideas well. We've had some great conversations with well formed thoughts and evidence to back up those thoughts.

I honestly believe those naysayers on this board against teens don't spend much time with this particular age group. And I believe many forget what they were like as teens. They are not as stupid as some of you make them out to be, and neither were we.
They see a handful of kids eating Tide Pods for likes on YouTube and think that represents a whole generation.

The students organizing in Florida are much closer to the teens I have contact with every day than any other representation of the group.

Another funny one. I get that many Trump supporters are annoyed that the school shooting survivors are anti-gun, but these stories about them being actors and fake students are despicable.

And the Russian troll farms are hard at work to push the "crisis actor" lies.

So now every time someone questions the official narrative or catches the MSM in a lie, being unprofessional or faking a story, they're a Russian bot. Gotcha.
Everyone's a bot now. Just like everyone's a racist and everyone's a fascist and all news is fake news.

Not really. It's only fake news when it's demonstrably false. And posted from Russia.

With the amount of facts Emma Gonzales shrilled out incorrectly , I'd say she wasn't an actor.

I don't think there is such thing as a crisis actor, however, I do believe news channels hand out scripted questions and only bring on students who fit their agenda. CNN didn't have a single student who was pro-gun. Surely there was at least one student who could have asked pro-gun questions.

Joe the Plumber (remember him, from the 2012 election?) comes closer to being a crisis actor than Emma Gonzales and David Hogg. Sorry, people, but the latter two are verified students at that high school, while Joe the Plumber was an obvious plant by the Republicans.

That's how it starts out. At first, they are part of the drill/simulation, and then the drill goes live. All the crisis actors from the drill become the real life victims we see on TV.

There was a drill at the school earlier that day before the shooting (what are the odds of that?). The students being evacuated at first did not know if it was part of the drill or if it was real.

That picture, provided it is real is just classic.
