No. This "kid" is 17 years old, he's fair game.
You just fell into the trap set for you by the team that is using the kid as a shield. You responded exactly as they knew you would. Enjoy that ride/divide.
It's a conspiracy!!
It's an acceptable game of political bullshittery that you enjoy.
Nope. It's a political awakening of young people brought about by the failure of their predecessors.
Nobody is using anyone as a "shield".
That's just a dumb argument.
Yes, you are. Stop being a bitter old man. If it was really about keeping kids safe, which is exactly what many of them are asking for there would be all kinds of other shit being addressed as a multi-pronged effort. You would see all kinds of fund raising going on to install the security systems in the schools. You would see all kinds of movement for mental health care. I've seen the little faux grass roots clubs.
But, it's not happening. Because........that isn't what it is really about. Is it? Nope.
One. The kids don't want to go to school in places that are like prisons. They know that the solution lies UPSTREAM.
Two. The kids are absolutely talking about mental health care as part of the solution.
Three. They are pointing at the easy availability of firearms. That's because firearms are part of the problem too.
Nobody is using them. That's a dumb argument.
