David Hogg: They've Tried To Kill Me Seven Times

“In the past year, there have been seven assassination attempts. But I also realize, if they kill me, that’s probably the stupidest thing they could do to try to end the movement. Because that would make it even more successful in the end. Because it would invigorate us and create f—ing change. Honestly, I realize that it’s horrible that I have to live through this, and it is traumatizing. But you eventually become desensitized to it.

“Like, oh, your house got SWAT-ted. You got a call from the police saying someone said that everyone in your family had been killed and that you are being held hostage for $100,000. Right? That becomes part of daily life. It’s just something that you have to get through. But I mean, what am I going to do? Stop?” – Parkland activist David Hogg, speaking to the Washington Post.

While the GOP'ers in Congress cower at the NRA, afraid they won't be able to feed at the trough of donations, this young man is actually putting his life on the line for a cause he's passionate about.

Kudos to him.

Over on the Fox News website this story is reported intact, but in the comments section he is called a liar and a grand-stander who is just out for publicity. This is why people hate Fox News because it appeals to the lowest of the low.

All the traditional values, good wholesome good vs. bad values stuff.

Now look at the RW today. They are the epitome of terrorists. They are shadow cowards.

Of course, RW TV/radio wasn't full blast back then either. Hmm, I wonder if there is a coincidence.

David Hogg, you are my hero!

Just because he thinks weapons should not be as easy to get as fast food in America.
