City of Baltimore to Ship Thousands of School Kids to DC for the Anti-Gun “March for Our Lives”

Ah, Baltimore. The other city that never sleeps, primarily because its homicide rate is the highest in the country. Also interestingly, it’s a city big on gun control. How could a city with strict gun laws have such a high murder rate? I thought having more firearm laws would save lives.

But true to the form of the insane, Baltimore is going to keep pushing forward with the idea that doesn’t work and promote gun restrictions by busing school children to Washington D.C. in order to participate in the March for Our Lives event this month. Not just a class, or representatives from a Baltimore school, but 3,000 students total.

What’s more is that Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh has announced that 60 buses will be provided for “free,” to the students who go, as well as meals and free t-shirts, according to the Baltimore Sun’s Kevin Rector.

Maybe it will pour down rain all day, let’s see how dedicated all the student props are.

Or maybe another nor'easter with below freezing temperatures ...

Weeks ago, they couldn’t afford to heat the schools in Balto.

Now, they have a spare $100,000 to bus kids to DC?

Typical.

There are legal issues here, too.

Providing food and transportation would make this a school activity, wouldn't it?

So if a student was to stub his toe on this trip, who's responsible?

These LIB idiot school administrators would want to keep these kids in school to provide them with an education now, would they? No...just teach them to be useless agitators and disruptors. Typical LIB madness from THE Freak state.

By the way, from now on I am referring to semi-auto firearms, like a typical rifle before OR after a Bumpfire stock is installed, as a single-shot rifle, since one single trigger pull = one single shot. FULL autos would be multi-shot. Beat’em at their word games!

I am praying for major rain. Maybe even snow.

They’d be better off taking those kids to view autopsies on people murdered in drug deals, and gang-related shootings. It might help deter them from partaking in those activities.

I will tell you what will happen on this trip. I saw this before when in DC.

The buses pull up, people get off, stretch, sidle off to one side a little bit, then haul butt to run around and go sight-see. Unless there is one adult per child, these kids are going to escape and go play.

Yep, there were a few dozen buses once when I was there, they all had matching red protest t-shirts (I don’t recall the protest - but it was one of those where it was against the GOP, and free bus, shirt and lunch) and within minutes after the buses unloaded the “protesters” scattered. Only a handful ended up marching. LOL. We ran into small groups of them here and there through the day - mostly in the free museums and monuments.
