Pretty sure it's less about sending a message and more about just getting to skip class...

I'd not show up all day except at 2:01 PM and leave at 2:16PM

wow, this is so hilarious. you really nailed it here, man. good job!

Cool, we get it. You don't like gun control and you think it's lame that kids were protesting about it.

It's not the morning.

Ohh like the dwarf from sleeping beauty.

You're good man we had a pretty funny. and and forth. We just disagree on some stuff. It's all good.

and you think it's lame that kids were protesting about it completely ignorant about most of the issues but were still used as pawns in a disgusting display of pro-oppression propaganda.

FTFY

This might blow your mind, but some people actually do care when a bunch of kids get murdered and think we should do something about it.

He's a scarecrow actually. That's his name.

No you're thinking of the tin man. He was made out of tin.

By the end, courage.

some people actually do care when a bunch of kids get murdered and think we should do something about it.

You are correct about that. Lets start by disbanding the shadow factions in our intelligence communities responsible for perpetrating these false flag attacks in order to change policy.

I think that would be a far better solution than acting like a puppet on a string and doing what they want us to do, which is voluntarily disarm ourselves.

You're actively advocating for the "team" of future oppression and tyranny. I suggest you reevaluate your position.

Right. Because it's certainly not possible in a nation with hundreds of millions of guns, that a crazy guy would ever use one of them to kill a bunch of people. Certainly every time this happens every couple months, it's the government doing it for no reason. Because apparently the American public doesn't give a fuck when it happens and our laws never change.

Sure, its possible, and it does happen.

I can acknowledge that. The funny thing is thst you refuse to acknowledge that shadow factions of our government have and still do commit false flags.... including school shootings.

Im saying its a combination of crazy fucks AND government ops causing these problems.

You're insistent that "crazy people" are the ONLY possibility.

Lets be honest here, Your viewpoint is actually far less probable.

Alright word I guess we'll change the topic. Have there been false flags in the past? Sure. I'm sure governments all over the world have done them over the years. But every single fuckin time somebody shoots a bunch of people in America, people assume it's some shit orchestrated by the government. Every single time? That's absurd to me. Especially because our laws never change. Our Congress is Republican right now and all of them are owned by the NRA. They aren't going to pass meaningful gun control right now anyway. Even when kids die. So no I don't believe all of these mass shootings are some false flag. I think there are a lot of crazy people in this country and sometimes they snap.

But every single fuckin time somebody shoots a bunch of people in America, people assume it's some shit orchestrated by the government. Every single time?

Doubling down on the strawman eh? I already made it clear that I believe this is a combination of factors.

I've seen theories every single time it happens. I'm not even talking about you.

i dont. too many kids anyway

Like a gun ban? Username checks out.

No, like stricter rules. In order to drive a car, we need to take classes and get a learners permit before we are allowed to drive on our own. Because driving a car is dangerous. It's absurd that all you need to buy a gun is an ID and proof you're not a criminal.

In case you’re not aware, the alleged Parkland shooter was known by law enforcement and had a criminal record.

Criminal record for what?

Helen Lovejoy?

The term walkout suggests that it is done unsanctioned and against the rules. Something that might bring negative consequences because you are breaking the law. Or perhaps OP was observing how it was organized by the schools to put there own political agenda forward. Young minds are sponges. I’m sure you can draw on your own personal experiences but teachers/school administrators have such an important influential role in children’s minds the opinions they voice are not differentiated from the facts that they teacher. Even if they never give opinions like a good teacher should, sometimes they elude or draw students to think particular things on purpose or accident. A teacher or professors narrative whether intentional or unintentional go really far.

I'm sure OP would be just as cynical if the students was walking out and protesting in favor of something he agreed with. I'm sure

That wouldn't happen. The government isn't woke.

It's the cool thing to do, man. Get with the times, geez!

Kids aren’t sending anyone a message. Especially, gun owners!!! 😉

yeah that they are stupid as shit.

I am proud of you.

As someone who is in high school: Many people I know are fucking upset. Many people I know are doing multiple things to get the attention of lawmakers, etc.

Rules are put in place during these walkouts to ensure safety, because everyone is on fucking edge. That means administration watching, meeting points, etc. 17 mins= 1 min for every life lost in the Florida shooting.

Yeah, some kids are walking out to skip class for 17 mins (ohhh big fucking whoop), but most are doing it because they see the need to.

This isn't really directed at OP, more at the shit storm of the comment section.

Its really fucking gross to see "adults" theorizing about school shootings, and shit like this. Some people need to get their head screwed on a bit tighter.

You’ll realize how stupid it is when you’re older, kid.

Just because I'm younger doesn't mean I can't fucking process things, or looking with my fucking eyes and think for myself.

What's stupid is the fact people automatically write off young people for being young.

Yeah I agree, walking out doesn't change anything, but it does bring the topic to attention to our classmates and towns.

Almost everyone is aware of what’s currently going on. Some have opposing opinions. Some agree, but don’t care to participate. Some don’t care at all.

It’s honorable to stand up for what you believe in, but people write off young people because they understand what it’s like to be young, impressionable, and to think you know what your opinions are before fully comprehending them.

Lmao “I’m so stoked to dissent today”

He's a scarecrow actually. That's his name.
