How Parkland student David Hogg beats his critics

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.

Maine GOP candidate viciously attacks Parkland survivor Emma Gonzalez as a ‘skinhead lesbian’ in crazed rant

A Republican state congressional candidate in Maine this week attacked Parkland shooting survivors during an angry rant on Twitter.

The Portland Press Herald reports that Leslie Gibson, a Republican candidate for Maine’s 57th congressional district, attacked 18-year-old Parkland survivor Emma Gonzalez, who has been particularly outspoken about the need for stronger gun laws in the wake of the shooting at her school that took the lives of 17 people.

“There is nothing about this skinhead lesbian that impresses me and there is nothing that she has to say unless you’re a frothing at the mouth moonbat,” Gibson wrote of Gonzalez.

Gibson also attacked Gonzalez’s classmate David Hogg, whom he called “a bald faced liar” for saying that the National Rifle Association “owned” Republican lawmakers.

“Dana Loesch ‘owns’ Congressmen? Completely absurd,” he wrote. “Hogg doesn’t get a pass when he blatantly lies.”

Emma Gonzalez is obviously more mature and intelligent than Leslie Gibson who is the epitome of the modern Republican party and a reflection of the Trangerin Tragedy now occupying the Oval Office.  

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.,

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.

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.

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.

Donald Trump a leader? That's like saying Baghdad Bob always tells the truth while lying out of his ass.

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?”

Watch: Mother of slain Florida student screams at Trump live on camera — and CNN’s Brooke Baldwin falls apart

Mother Lori Alhadeff lost her daughter Alyssa Wednesday after Nikolas Cruz, a 19-year-old man, killed 17 students at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. In an interview with CNN Thursday she screamed into the camera demanding President Donald Trump do something.

“How? How do we allow a gunman to come into our children’s school?” Alhadeff asked. “How do they get through security? What security is there? There’s no metal detectors. The gunman, a crazy person, just walks right into the school, knocks on the window of my child’s door and starts shooting, shooting her and killing her!”

She then turned her anger to the president.

“President Trump, you say what can you do?” she asked, responding to Trump’s statement earlier. “You can stop the guns from getting into these children’s hands! Put metal detectors at every entrance to the schools. What can you do? You can do a lot! This is not fair to our families and our children go to school and have to get killed! I just spent the last two hours putting the burial arrangements for my daughters funeral, who is 14! Fourteen! President Trump, please do something! Do something. action! We need it now! These kids need now!”

Florida shooting: Suspect held in deadly high school attack

Police in Parkland, Florida, have arrested a suspect after responding to a deadly shooting at a local high school.

More than an hour after the shooting began, the Broward Sherriff's Office said the "shooter is now in custody".

But it warned that the scene at Stoneman Douglas High School "is still active".

School superintendent Robert Runcie told reporters: "there are fatalities involved here."

Both Mr Runcie and the Sherriff, Scott Israel, identified the suspect as a former student of the school.

"So far we have at least 14 victims," the Sherriff's department said, without specifying their condition.

US media outlets reported that up to 20 people may have been injured, while some have been evacuated.
