The regular cries that include numbers that high, rely on government statistics that generally include people up to 21 years of age in the “children” category, absolutely include ALL gang/drug-related violence, and all suicides. Not that any of that is “good,” but as nobody is calling for an end to the immoral and failed war on drugs that generates most of the gang-related violence, nor calling for additional help for those with mental health issues (no, not more drugging), the statistics mean little and are nothing more than a vehicle to perpetuate yet another lie.

Just imagine if, before ANY kid could walk out today during the protests, he/she had to submit, in writing, a one-page essay that detailed EXACTLY why they were walking out, what EXACTLY they were demanding, HOW EXACTLY what they were calling for was different from what was already in place, and HOW EXACTLY what they were calling for would have prevented the shooting at Parkland. The essays would be reviewed by some non-biased teachers (if any could be found nationwide) and then, AND ONLY IF the essay showed a cogent understanding of the issue, an informed stance on the issue, and basic logic applied to the issue, would they be allowed to walk out.
I would imagine less than a dozen nationwide would be eligible, and they would be proposing measures against bigPharma drugging of kids, shutting down the government school system, and allowing concealed carry in all government schools. But then intelligent kids like those have NO business being in a government-run school in the first place so they should walk out, walk home, and demand to be homeschooled.
The new claim is 14 thousand school kids shot since Sandy Hook…….
I wonder where David (I’m not a crisis actor!) Hogg has been?
Is that all?
I thought the number was much higher.
!14 thousand ?! Probably 14 thousand teenage gangbangers. Good riddance.
