Success of students' gun control walkout bodes well for March for Our Lives

I wonder what the antis are going to try next? It is entertaining to watch them struggle.

Want to bet that they try unconventional methods to get their msg out? In the meantime, they continue to be uninfluential. Non-starters.

"Dear young people, the joy that Jesus awakens in you is a source of anger and even irritation to some, since a joyful young person is hard to manipulate," Francis said. "The temptation to silence young people has always existed."

Francis warned that an effort would be made to make "invisible" or "anesthetize" young people who demand change.

"There are many ways to sedate them, to keep them from getting involved, to make their dreams flat and dreary, petty and plaintive," the pope said. "Dear young people, you have it in you to shout."


My my,

The pointy hatted wonder has the NRA down to a tee.

The day after widespread marches the Pope uses Palm Sunday to urge the youth of the world to lead.

Good to see a papacy concerned with the real world.

Funny that comes on the same weekend the Arch Bishop of New York is stating the Democrats are leaving Catholics out .

Success of students' gun control walkout bodes well for March for Our Lives

About 3,000 schools took part in the mass walkout on Wednesday, a remarkable response to the lack of political action that, like shootings before, followed the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland, Florida, last month.

It was a huge boost for activists before the March for Our Lives on 24 March, which will see tens of thousands of students march in cities across the US.

Some students, while still demanding action on school shootings, principally greater gun control, moved the protests beyond that to other issues.

At the Academy for Young Writers high school in Spring Creek, Brooklyn, New York, students used the walkout to bring attention also to discrimination against people of color, women, and other groups.

“Our protest brings together many things and I do empathize with those in Parkland in Florida, but this is Brooklyn, East New York, and we have our own separate struggles and I wanted to advocate for that as well,” said Nathaniel Swanson, 16.

“We have policing [issues]. Discrimination in housing [and the] workforce. Gentrification is really getting bad in Brooklyn. Gun violence … these are the things that happen in our community.”

David Hogg, a shooting survivor, speaks during the school’s walkout.

David Hogg is twenty-five years old so he must have failed grade ten seven times. The scum bag was not a student of that school. If you ate at a normal resturaunt you would not be so full of shjt.

There are a whole lot more Americans joining the NRA than are attending marches.

And yet....

There's a gun for every American. But less than a third own guns.

Curiously, less than a third of them support Trump, too.

Might those demographics overlap a bit?

Is "demographic" too big a word for most of that demographic?

 

[Danbones]

Missed the changing of the story bit did ya?

And Canada has 1/3 the guns per 100,000 but a ridiculously high half as many shootings per 100,000.

Is it really a walk-out when it's school sanctioned? If it ain't fake news, it's fake headlines with these guys.

Kinda fun watching the alt-right denigrating teens for not wanting to be murdered. There is a definite psychosis inherent in this gang of self centered amosexuals. I bet Jung wishes he had been around these days. He would be having a field day with these sociopaths.

It's fun watching so called adults leading them down the wrong path.

So by next week at the latest it will all be over because millennial snowflakes have the attention span of a sound bite.
