David Hogg

Yeah let's make fun of the appearance of a kid who saw his classmates gunned down.

You are a garbage person.

These kids didn't ask to be famous. I'm sure they'd prefer to have a normal senior year and to have their deceased classmates back. You can disagree with them without attacking them for their appearance or speaking skills.

Whether you agree with them or not, a group of teens have sparked a huge increase in civic engagement and activism in just 2 short months. That's something to applaud.

The problem is that they seem to be racking up in the fame.  If David Hogg's name was Jamal Washington, and he was from inner-city Baltimore or Chicago instead of suburban Miami, he wouldn't be flown out to Bill Maher and Ellen DeGeneres.  He wouldn't be on the cover of magazines and newspapers.  He wouldn't be given free stuff.

He would be at the bottom of news websites, and he may get a 30-second mention on cable news before they cut off to go to the latest development in the Stormy Daniels scandal.

And you know I'm telling the truth.

I don't disagree that Parkland got more attention because it was an affluent, white area. However, MFOL did have a diversity of speakers and discussed gun violence in general (not just school shootings).

I'm just saying don't dismiss them. This is a real movement with the potential to create real change. Liberals dismissed the Tea Party and look what happened in 2010.

Not much different from the GOP using Joe ''the plumber''

I think its funny to watch the GOP whine and cry about all the things they themselves have done in the past too

Exactly. It's like 2008-2010 all over again but reversed.
