After surviving the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Hogg and his classmates became vocal activists in the fight for gun control. But that spotlight has made them prime targets for the right-wing smear machine: a collection of Fox News hosts like Laura Ingraham, conservative pundits, conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones, Twitter provocateurs, and YouTube commentators who piled on to the teens in the wake of the shooting. Rather than crumbling under the pressure, they're using humor and advertiser pressure to keep their cause in the media spotlight while disarming their critics. In the face of intense media attention, the Parkland students are putting on a masterclass in how to deal with bullies.

How Parkland student David Hogg beats his critics

Private Bone Spurs Would've Gone After Florida Shooter Without A Gun
That's right people Private Bone Spurs the who man received five deferments from service in Vietnam due to bone spurs in his foot. As which foot that was, he's unable to remember. A man who once said in an interview that avoiding catching stds was his own private Vietnam. Yes, that guy, known as Donald Trump would've gone into Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school without a weapon and confronted the shooter who was carrying an AR-15 the civilian equivalent of an M16. You know, the assault rifle formerly used by the U.S. Army.
Private Bone Spurs has some kind of magical or superpower how else could one explain the utter stupidity of that pronouncement.,
Trump was referring to criticism against law enforcement officials, including an armed guard at the school who failed to swiftly respond to the gun massacre in Parkland, Florida, earlier this month.
Donald Trump a leader? That's like saying Baghdad Bob always tells the truth while lying out of his ass.
Private Bone Spurs has some kind of magical or superpower how else could one explain the utter stupidity of that pronouncement.,
President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that he would have personally fought off the school shooter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School even while not armed, despite the fact that he previously deferred military service due to bone spurs in his foot.
“I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would have done that too,” he said during a White House event with the nation’s governors.
When later asked to clarify Trump’s comments, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed that he didn’t actually mean that he would “run in” to the school.
“I think he was just stating that as a leader, he would have stepped in and hopefully been able to help,” she said.

On Wednesday President Trump held a listening session at the White House for students and parents affected by school shootings following the recent massacre in Parkland, Florida. While the president listened to grieving parents and students plead with him to make meaningful changes when it comes to student safety, eagle-eyed Associated Press photographer Carolyn Kaster snapped a shot of the handwritten notes Trump used to navigate the meeting.
The items on the agenda are numbered, with the first item reminding the president to ask: “What would you most want me to know about your experience?” The second item is partially obscured by Trump’s hands, but we can safely assume reads “What can we do to help you feel safe?”
