Somewhere, a crisis is missing its actor (Updated)

That didn’t take long.

David Hogg, the little boy who would be king, is on a roll. As a student at the Marjory Stoneham Douglas school during the shooting, Hogg is everywhere. He has parlayed his experience into celebrity.



Hogg is a veteran Youtuber, with his own channel and is no stranger to seeking attention.

Hogg also plays fast and loose with facts

“What we really need is action. Because we can say, ‘Yes, we’re going to do these things, thoughts and prayers.’ What we really need more than that is action,” student David Hogg, who survived Wednesday’s massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, told CNN on Thursday, speaking about mass shootings in schools. “This is the 18th one this year. That’s unacceptable.”

That is patently false.

To no one’s surprise, George Stephanopoulos, the Clinton busboy who harpooned Mitt Romney on behalf of Barack Obama in 2012, set Hogg up to smear anyone and everyone he wanted to smear this morning:

Hogg was brought on after the interview with Loesch and from the get-go, Stephanopoulos was enthralled with his baseless smear campaign. “David, you see there what you’re up against. NRA against any changes in the minimum age, against universal background checks, against a ban on semi-automatic weapons,” he asked the teen.

Honestly, it’s just disgusting. They act like they don’t own these politicians. They still do,” Hogg bitterly spat. “And what I want people to know is, look at Dana. Look at what she’s saying. Is she actually saying anything or is that just a tone to distract the American public and distract her NRA members from the fact that she’s not serving them? She’s serving the gun manufacturers.

Stephanopoulos implored Hogg to explain how he planned to wake up the duped NRA members so they could pressure their leadership. “They have to do that. And in the same way that this is Democracy that is currently broken, the NRA is an organization that is completely broken,” Hogg declared.

You’ll note that little George outlined the goal for the left: ban on all semi-automatic weapons. But this wasn’t all of it. Hogg attributed mystical super powers to Dana Loesch:

That’s pretty juvenile and outrageous. He also said something ominous

I was more than willing to let the kid speak, but his dishonesty, profound and continued lack of respect for Loesch and Rubio and his well scripted lines made clear that he is not a victim- he is an activist. An activist willing to abuse the truth. Now Hogg is on the warpath organizing a boycott of the NRA and anyone who is associated with the NRA. Here are a few of them:

But the one that really caught my eye is this one:

His intimidation and harassment tactics won’t be limited to companies. His aim is also to persecute individuals. The kid is not physically large, but he is backed by the left wing media. He’s backed by Hollywood. They have made him a star. He is a media darling. They can be expected to aid his crusade. It’s not hard to see this kid identifying gun owners- it’s been done before– and then persecuting and harassing them and their families until they surrender their weapons.

This did not go well for the newspaper but today the same tactics are far less likely to incur ire from the media.

Let’s be clear.

The NRA did not shoot anyone in Parkland.

The NRA did not sell the gun to Nikolas Cruz.

The NRA would not have sold the gun to Nikolas Cruz.

The NRA did not make Nikolas Cruz buy the gun.

The NRA did not fail to make sure the kid could not buy a gun.

The NRA was not called to the Cruz residence 39 times.

The NRA did not hide while the shooting went on.

The NRA stresses safety.

 

The NRA would have gone into the school.

 

Yet Hogg blames the NRA- solely. Not the Broward County cops, not the FBI, not the social worker, no one except the NRA. Getting rid of the NRA will not stop killings.

Curiously, Hogg excused Scot Peterson, the deputy who wouldn’t enter the school during the shooting.

“Who wants to go down the barrel of an AR-15, even with a glock? And I know that’s what these police officers are supposed to do, but they’re people too.”

No word on how Scot Peterson would know it was an AR-15 without entering the building.

Hogg is now a political vigilante. He dropped his victim mask. He’s added Rick Scott to the blame list while not a single democrat ( i.e. Scott Israel)  takes any blame.

Time to stop pretending, kid.

Somewhere, a crisis is missing its actor.

Bonus:

This says it all

 

UPDATE

The evolution from shooting victim to full blown political opportunist is complete:

This little sh!t head has the script down, but the AR style are not the only semi autos sold, put a wood stock on the 22 calibers and make the lefties scream save the trees.
Send the little liberal attention whore back to school, to complete his Bernie style brain washing. The colleges are just drooling for this one.

This kids 15 minutes of fame should be about up.

@Mully: #2
Waiting for his GoFundMe page to come up.
He’ll be one of those people who lies his way to riches.

“What we really need is action. Because we can say, ‘Yes, we’re going to do these things, thoughts and prayers.’ What we really need more than that is action,”

You know what kind of action can be taken immediately? Having teachers and staff with CHL allowed to carry in the school. You know who rejects that idea out of hand with no rational reason to object? Phony-ass liberals, like little Hoggy. This tells me they can use the tragedies more than they can use solutions.

I don’t think anything explains the liberal failure like this meme.

The left is using this kid to preach their left wing propaganda because when he is criticized they can scream he is being bullied because of how young he is. In other words, their B.S. gets to be put out unchallenged. Lowlifes if there ever were.

As for Hogg himself, it’ll be interesting to see if, once he gets older and more mature, that he was being used by the left for propaganda purposes. They could care less about him. Hopefully he makes the best of his fifteen minutes of fame because shortly he’ll be a distant memory and he’ll be the one who will have to live with using his dead classmates to prop up his fifteen minutes of fame.

@another vet: The left is in to gimmicks to promote their agenda. Race, gender, sexual orientation… now youth. Look for them to try and change the minimum age of President to 16 so they can run “the first kinder-President”. It’s what you do when you have no message to sell.

Obama also pretended he was only going after businesses/conservative media, etc., but he really went after people like Fox News reporter James Rosen (& his elderly mom), people like Sheryl Attkissen.
He used pretexts, just like this kid.
Dana Loesch is him using an Alinsky Rules For Radicals tactic, personalize the enemy. Why keep after the nebulous NRA when there’s a seemingly vulnerable women with young children he can target?
And, for an analogy of his excusing the sheriffs who refused to do their sworn duty:
How about firemen standing around as your home burns to the ground because they’d rather not face the fire.
How about garbage men refusing to pick up your trash because they’d rather not face the smell?
How about your doctor refusing to see you because he’d rather not risk the exposure?
It doesn’t happen because TRAINING gets experts over that reluctance to do their jobs.
Their training helps them minimize risks.
Broward Sheriffs sat on their hands while children were murdered.
The buck stops here is a phrase their boss has never understood.

@Bill… Deplorable Me: One of the really sick parts of this one is that as this kid’s sense of self importance continues to increase so does his insults and lies. Eventually people will tire of the crap and his honeymoon period of “hands off because he’s only seventeen” will come to an end and he will start to get hammered in kind. As a seventeen year old, he’s probably not going to be able to take it like most adults (well, non-leftist ones anyway). His leftist handlers maybe setting him up for failure. But his well being doesn’t matter to them. Only his usefulness in getting their message out does.

@another vet:

One of the really sick parts of this one is that as this kid’s sense of self importance continues to increase so does his insults and lies.

Well, he’s a little liberal, so this is in his DNA. When a kid is going to be insulting an adult on something he thinks he knows something about, he is fair game. I would like to see someone like Dana light into him and make him cry on camera.

Is it wrong to hope that this teed gets shanked by some Muslim? I don’t think it would change his mind on anything, but it would make me laugh my ass off!

If this little snot bucket thinks the NRA is to blame then he is Stupider then a sack full of rocks one needs to remind this pinhead the facts there are already many companies that are shutting off all funding and support of the NRA and Delta & United Airlines will no longer offer anymore discounts to the NRA so in that case we find another airlines and Boycott them all becuase gun owners can strike back in a peaceful way

@Spurwing Plover: No one thinks the NRA has any responsibility for this whatsoever. It is simply that the NRA needs to be removed as a source of support for 2nd Amendment defenders.

Not at all surprising to MedicalMalpractice pissing on the dead and their friends.
And not at all surprising to see the Deplorable gang slurp it up.

@PhillipMarlowe: Explain what, exactly, the NRA had to do with this and why the systemic failures of the very big government you liberals think should control our lives is not totally to blame?

Who cares about what this whining little weenie thinks anyway him and his kind belong in the nuthouse with the rest of the Liberals

@Spurwing Plover: Liberals do. They think since he’s a snot-nosed punk people with intelligence will be reluctant to dispute him and his teen-team of geniuses.

Here you go. This is how serious Democrats are about their “common sense” gun control.

Difficult to determine if this is a serious attempt to ban guns or simply something to get Republicans to laugh at and discard so liberals can claim Republicans don’t care about public safety. The point, though, that because of liberal ignorance, banning “semiautomatic assault weapons” is impossible and no such thing exists.

The more information that is revealed the more it looks like the liberal finger pointing to the NRA is a complete fail. The government failed in this situation so how smart is it to ask them for MORE help, I think they have done quite enough.
West Virginia has solved it the liberal teachers have closed down all the schools.

Maybe once he turns 18 a libel suit from the NRA will show up for a birthday present.

Gotta love the ‘independent American energy’ line too. Of the top 10 wind turbine manufacturers, only one (GE #3) is based in the US. Of the top 10 solar panel manufacturers, none are based in the US.

Maybe once the equipment is here…and our dollars are over there…it can be considered independent & American. Perhaps Mr. Hogg might consider an economics class to go with his STEM courses.

Oh, wait, he’s a video production student.

Eh, maybe that’s considered small ‘t’ technology.

‘Clean’ is relative too, once you realize that with the low capacity factors of wind (~30%) and solar (~15%, although over 20% in FL) you will be operating on a conventional generating resource 70 to 80% of the time, so emissions will be based on the regional fuel mix. For Florida that is 61% natural gas, 23% coal and 12% nuclear.

@Jay: Taking young master Hogg seriously is left for those that have the lowest form of education and the highest form of brainwashing. While I drive my car he will be left to hitch-hiking for a unicorn ride.

this gaping asshole is not a HS grad, can not vote, has no income, can not buy alcohol, ? old enough to buy a gun and reading from a script. he has a bright future as a demorat, but his family are all demorats.

Go blow it our your ears you blabbering little pipsqueak you and go soak your head you dope

If we are in the business of banning individuals from owning guns, these are exactly the kind of people that should be on a no-buy list. Will the gutless, agenda-driven liberals have the guts to do it?

@Bill… Deplorable Me: Billy,
You make no sense.

@Spurwing Plover: Spurling, you make my point.
You must have a miserable life to be so hate filled. Go see companionship with the mass murder Cruz.

@PhillipMarlowe: Sorry, I was speaking to adults. I don’t expect children to understand what it is they pretend to demand in the way of “common sense gun control.” Certainly, to an infantile idiot, putting violent people on a no-buy list for weapons makes no sense. However, I value my 2nd Amendment rights and am all for anything that will preserve it while keeping the public safe. So, when violent morons are kind enough to step forward and identify themselves (such as making themselves useful idiots of the Democrat party) we should respect them by honoring the left’s desire to have those violent people relinquish their rights.

Unless, of course, you feel losing the use of human tragedy would harm the electoral fortunes of your ideology.

As usial the Dumb-O-Crats again want to Ban Guns or Ammo i mean talking to a liberal democrat like talking to sheetrock the Democratic Donkey the most stupidists political animal

The young and future Bobba Fett without his armor on so run and hide you little pipsqueak
