3/14/18 Nationwide School Walkout Has Begun

[Billy_Kinetta]

Students walking out of schools and speaking out because the cowardly President and Congress won’t do anything about the school violence in this country.

As they keep reminding us: “ We’re voting AGAINST the politicians that perpetuate this problem. “

The children are our future.

NATIONAL SCHOOL WALKOUT LIVE: Students rally in solidarity to end gun violence

....and some of these students may be eligible to vote this upcoming November....Good for them.

Do you believe voting against the Constitution changes the Constitution?

Do you really believe such a vote would make any difference?

It’s not a dumbass hang-up. These are teens reacting to the deaths of their fellow students and teachers, 17 of them. You know that. You’re just attempting to minimize it. Nobody is dancing on the graves of dead children except the NRA. They represent the gun manufacturers. Gun sales go up every time a massacre happens. Win-win for them, death and loss for the rest of us. These kids are just fed up. Their protests are the action equivalent of “Oh FUCK if I have NOT had ENOUGH!!”

Gun sales go up because people are afraid the government is going to mess around with our rights.

Our government is elected. It's the electorate who want to mess around with our rights.
Republicans want to take away a woman's right to control her own body. No surprise there.
Republicans want to kill gays. Their religious leaders tell us so it's not even an open secret.
A short list of Right wing pastors who call for the arrest and murder of gays.
Pastor Roger Jimenez
Pastor Steven Anderson
Pastor Kevin Swanson
Pastor Jesse Price
Pastor Charles L. Worley
Pastor Bert Farias
Pastor Jeffrey S. Smith
Pastor Curtis Napp
Pastor James David Manning
Pastor Jim Beech
Most of them said the killings at a gay night club didn't go far enough.
Then you have Steve Bannon and Richard Spencer who say wear racism as a badge of honor.
You know, Steve Bannon who was the president advisor for the last few years.

There are minorities who live in fear of right wingers every day. They are advocating fewer weapons which would make murder less easy.

And with stricter gun laws, the police would have a legal way to go after armed minorities and take away their weapons. Duh!

You truly are an imbecile.

I'm a realist. And many right wingers are insane. People who take away school lunches for poor children, and who give billion dollar tax cuts to billionaires and corporations, and who want to cut job training and arm teachers are the people most likely to go after children and others with assault weapons. Their minds are somehow damaged. They don't have the human feelings that much of the rest of the world value. Anyone who puts assault weapons over children are not right. What would Jesus think?

People who take away school lunches for poor children

When I went to school, my parents weren't very well off, yet I got my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and apple in my brown bag. But what you mother fucking liberals do, is make those poor children reliant on the government to take care of them from cradle to grave, so idiots like you can continue to get the welfare checks while those who work, have to pick up the tab.

Parents? So you had both?
Lucky you.
So the answer is to punish those not as lucky as you were?
We call that "the heartless bastard syndrome".

Bottom line here, we Americans who understand our rights and why they are important are not giving you an inch because of what some lone wolf crazy teenage shooter does. K? Go after the people who have broken the law and abused their rights and are murderers.

Your post reminded me of liberal hypocrisy at its worst...

There are guns and there are weapons. Besides, are you defending the rights of insane crazies to own assault weapons? Why?

LMAO what's the difference between a gun and weapon? This should be hilariously stupid

It makes a point.
When I was in the service, we use to say:
This is my weapon
This is my gun
This one's for killing
This one's for fun.

Handguns are for fun.
Assault weapons are for killing. That's all they are good for.

Goodness! You always sound so very very ghey

“ We’re voting AGAINST the politicians that perpetuate this problem. “

Excellent. The Democrats are doomed.

The children are our future.

The adults make the rules.

you might want to, at some point, reconsider making your tinfoil hat as tight as it is. it seems to be cutting off the blood flow to your already limited brain.

The adults DON'T make the rules? Funny, that.

NATIONAL SCHOOL WALKOUT LIVE: Students rally in solidarity to end gun violence

What do you mean they won't do anything about school violence....they are the ones who actually want to put armed guards and staff in the schools and to fix the background check system so state and federal agencies will actually submit the paperwork on criminals and crazies...

It is people like you who oppose those protections for our kids.....

^^^^^^^^^^

and there comes Mr. NRA shill all cranky because the kids are making him and his NRA loons losers.

You mean I am telling the truth.....the democrats are the ones with the policies driving gun deaths, not the NRA.....

democrats also fight gun safety education for children in schools...again, because they need dead children to push their gun control laws.

The Dems want real gun control. Your jackass flip flopping president doesn’t.
The kids notice this thus the massive walkout.
You can post as many bullshit posts you want.
but you’re not stopping today and March 24.
Big trouble ahead for the enablers of the gun lobby.

Watch: Students Put Pencils Down, Walk Out in Gun Protests

Thousands of students across the D.C. area staged walkouts Wednesday to protest gun violence, one month after the deadly shooting inside a high school in Parkland, Florida.

Police cruisers escorted hundreds of students from Montgomery Blair High School as they marched through Silver Spring, Maryland, carrying signs that said "Protect Children, Not Guns" and "Our Blood, Your Hands."

The walkout is one of the first of many in the region.

The first large-scale, coordinated national demonstration is planned for 10 a.m. Wednesday, when organizers of the Women's March called for a 17-minute walkout -- with one minute for each of the 17 students and staff members killed in Florida. Many organizers and participants are using the #enough hashtag.

Thousands of Students Are Walking Out of School in Nationwide Protests. Here’s Why

The 1969 Supreme Court ruling on the case Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District makes it clear that students don’t “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” But that does come with some caveats and complications.

• First, it only applies to public schools. “This is because public schools are run by the government and private schools aren’t, and the First Amendment only controls what the government can and can’t do,” the ACLU explains on its “Know Your Rights” page. Students at private schools can be stopped from participating in protests like the #Enough National School walkout, and students should consult with their teachers and school administrators and know what the policies are regarding protests or absences.
• Second, free speech in schools extends “as long as you don’t disrupt the functioning of the school or violate the school’s content-neutral policies,” the ACLU explains, and what is “disruptive” is contextual. If deemed disruptive, “schools can stop students from participating,” according to CNN.
• Third, you can be punished for participating — not over what you are protesting, but for being absent from class. “The exact punishment you could face will vary by your state, school district, and school,” the ACLU explains. “Find out more by reading the policies of your school and school district. If you’re planning to miss a class or two, look at the policy for unexcused absences.” If planned ahead with parents, students may be able to be signed out of a class by a parent.
• Finally, schools are mandated to be guardians to their students. “Schools stand in what’s known as loco parentis, so we don’t simply release our students into the ether,” Francisco Negron, the Chief Legal Officer at the National School Boards Association, told NPR. Negron issued guidance to schools ahead of the walkouts. “Chief among our recommendations is that to the extent possible, school districts should plan ahead and engage your students, parents, and stakeholders,” the checklist reads. Teachers also have a complex position when it comes to protesting; they can often protest on their own time, but not during class time, according to CNN.

Next nationwide protest is March 24th, and I will be attending that one.

March for our Lives

Parkland student: My generation won't stand for this (Opinion) - CNN

Activists Lay Thousands of Shoes Outside U.S. Capitol

Activists placed thousands of pairs of shoes on the lawn outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Tuesday to memorialize children killed by gun violence.

The demonstration was planned by international advocacy group Avaaz to represent the number of children killed by guns since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, CBS News reports.

The demonstration was based on research by the American Academy of Pediatrics that found that 1,300 children die from gun shot wounds in the U.S. annually, or about three daily. Thus the display featured 7,000 pairs of shoes.

The protestors assembled the empty shoes on the southeast lawn from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in an effort to push Congress for gun reform.

WE REFUSED TO BE HUNTED!

Just watched one of those children on TV say that. We refused to be hunted.
Maybe there will be a political change.

Republicans have spent years terrorizing Americans into believe they will only be safe carrying an assault rifle in the country of the free and the brave. The GOP's message of chicken isn't working with this new generation.
The thing that worries me is that some right winger will run out there and try to mow down a bunch of children marchers.

Ah, the wisdom of children. Right up there with your own wisdom, Dean. This country is the home of the free and the brave because men and women with guns made it so, and kept it so. You sleep tight in your bed at night because men and women with guns stand on the ramparts to keep evil away from you.

I rarely carry a weapon, of any sort, but I do not fear those that do. If someone wants to do me harm, they have many means of doing so, and a gun is just one of those means.

A person who wants to commit mayhem will find the means to carry out that act. If that person cannot get a semi-auto rifle or pistol, that person will find another means of accomplishing the goal.

Why won't they pass a Fix NICs bill?

Because a better more efficient NICs system means a dip in gun sales. Every time some one can't buy a gun through a legal retailer, gun companies lose money.

The democrats are stopping fix nics because they need dead kids.....

Tim Scott: ‘Painful To Watch’ Democrats Block Fix NICS Act | Weasel Zippers

Via Daily Caller:

Sen. Tim Scott told the “Fox & Friends” crew on Monday that it’s “painful” to watch Senate Democrats delay passing legislation, like the “Fix NICS” Act, that will not only make schools safer but could have prevented mass shootings like the one in Charleston, South Carolina.

“It is time for us to act, without any question,” he stated. “We have bipartisan legislation that would ultimately fix the background system.”

The Daily Caller. Ha ha
When it gets too uncomfortable for you head directly to your far far right media.

You’re not stopping these students no matter how much you try to.

There’s an insurrection happening in this country and the bullseyes are the NRA, Trump and the GOP congress.

Keep telling yourself that........normal, law abiding people know that when someone breaks into their home with rape, robbery and murder on their minds......their gun is the only thing that will stop it........they know this, those kids are dupes.......truth is the truth.

 

[Tilly]

Parents? So you had both?
Lucky you.

I doubt it was anything to do with luck, but then we all know how you lefties despise normal heterosexual two parent families!

And what gun control is that, oh genius? Which gun control law do they support that would have stopped the shooting in Florida?

I will wait here without holding my breath, I don't want to die from lack of oxygen....

Glad to say the school my grandson goes to did not participate in the walk out.

Why do the democrats oppose the FIX NICS bill that would have stopped the shooter from getting that gun? Why do the democrats oppose armed security and staff inside our schools....?

Two things that would directly target the problem.....and yet the democrats are fighting both of them....why is that?

If they had to do this on a Saturday and not miss school, how many students would be there.
Most are just doing it to get time out of school.

Everything the terrorist organization the NRA wants.
More guns more profits.
Students and their parents want these military assault weapons off the streets.

The PEOPLE are speaking loudly. Don’t listen at your own peril.

Actually, the truth is, as more Americans own and carry guns...our gun murder rate goes down, not up...and our gun crime rate and violent crime rate goes down...

This is the truth, those are the facts....you can ignore them, but you can't make them go away...

We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%

--gun crime down 75%

--violent crime down 72%

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware

Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

The equivalent of stating: MORE cars on the highways means LESS car accidents.....lol
