Students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School were flown to Washington, D.C., on Thursday on the New England Patriots' official plane ahead of Saturday's March for Our Lives.

The Boston Globe reported Friday that team owner Robert Kraft sent the plane to fly survivors and the families of victims of the Feb. 14 shooting in Parkland, Fla., to the nation's capital.

Kraft's decision came at the behest of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, the Globe

We’re supposed to pay attention to the generation of children that eat Tide Pods, think Communism is a viable economic system, can’t figure out which bathroom is appropriate, must have dressers anchored to the wall for safety, kitchen stoves bolted to the floor for safety, cordless blinds to prevent hanging dangers, free breakfast at school because they can’t even prepare a bowl of cereal, etc. Yep, I’m really going to pay attention to these morons! /s/

I was hoping for a 100 year blizzard. I really was. Living in Florida, I myself hated February when it got down to the 40’s. Yep they’ll freeze up there.

Trump’s corporate tax cut helped guys like this.

Trump is Bush II. He doesn’t give a crap about the middle class.
Like Bush II its an act. imo

Robert Kraft has a good heart, but he is one of those tragic figures who disses what is actually very good, as he jump’s on the media’s politically correct issue due jour. Living and doing business in today’s Massachusetts stunted his judgement.

You know what I’d like to see?

Whenever a group of anti-gun protesters get together and start marching or just gathers to give anti-gun/anti-republican speeches...

we should get one brave soul from our side to mix in with the crowd, holding up a sign that says...

“REPEAL THE 2nd AMENDMENT”

We could also have another brave soul from our side holding up another sign that says:

“BAN ALL GUNS”

while also chanting what the sign says to get the crowd chanting it too.

That is what democrats are really after, so, why not get them to reveal their real intentions?

Maine (where I live) has the most conservative governor in the country (Paul LePage).

Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont also have Constitutional Carry. No permit necessary to carry a firearm in your car or on your person.

Maine is very strong Second Amendment country....hard core.

Southern New England....Connecticut, Rhose Island and Massachusetts....different story entirely. Far more liberal.

Portland, Maine....the most liberal area of Maine....has a student body in the thousands at their high school. Only 100 walked out to protest “gun violence.”

Another reason not to watch football. Way to try to win your fans back NFL. BTW I doubt many of those 17 year olds have the disposable income to afford NFL tickets. You know, to replace those fans you have driven away.

Kraft is led by his new squeeze, she is like 12, and Giselle Brady has the I.Q. of a banana peel, I am sure that they are behind this. Kraft is an emoting Moron.
As a life long Pats fan... so long Suckas!

You really would think that maybe Alabama would have the highest per capita military membership of any US state.

Or maybe Texas..?

But in fact that’s wrong:

The title in fact belongs to **Maine**..!

Those two tarts don’t give a damn about the recurring gross negligence that facilitated the massacre.
