Thousands have gathered for an emotional interfaith vigil at the National Cathedral ahead of Saturday's 'March For Our Lives' in Washington DC and in other cities. Area residents joined together with students and families affected by the Valentine's Day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 died. Volunteers handed out more than 2,000 candles on the cathedral steps as the attendees entered. 'We come with sadness, as we grieve so much loss of life, so much senseless death, so much needless suffering,' Rev. Randy Hollerith, dean of the Cathedral, told the crowd, WTOP reported.

Sorry. The clock ran out on their 15 minutes of fame about 45 minutes ago.

Every time these “survivors” appear on TV we should demand that they also display the graphic “Paid Spokesman” on the screen.

Basically a ruse to divert attention from the corrupt and nefarious activities at the local level (in Parkland) involving Robert Runcie and Sheriff Israel and when you go up further, very serious financial trouble at the DNC and Hollywood levels.

Candles are much less scary than torches, and a cathedral is benign compared to the Reich party congress grounds... but this is their Triumph of the Will moment.

Yep, I am pretty mad at cops who don’t fulfill their sworn oath, not to mention people who say by in spite of the perp making terrorist threats.

Prayer n’ schools?

I thought Hogg’s Head said that he didn’t want thoughts and prayers.

Did anyone drop the F bomb?

You can’t have social justice without the F bomb.

So , many scumbag accomplices in militantism of a murderer appear at a Cathedral to act as pretend victims, when they are the same undignified whores of a obscure liberal agenda to push more parents to surrender their kids as whored out canon fodder recruits.

Of course it goes without saying that surrendering your kid to a police-school state illegal political recruiting drive precludes the possession of firearms that would be needed to run these scumbag pimping group out of town for trying to get their hands on kids - so as to deny them a real education and instead Chicago them out as political pawns.

And then said cops assist schools in intimidating kids from getting a real education and instead be forced recruits or a third reich walk out

We have seen how Hitler killed the jews, and he started that way by taking out the dignity of Germams

Plenty of clueless leftist jews now at this cathedral doing this kabuki theater seeking to undignify America and shame game owners, cck sucking the very fascist makers who will get them shipped out once again

Never Again they say, oh, who said that?!

All you have to do is google “Robert Runcie” and you can get many articles from the last few years that do not paint particularly flattering portraits of this man and his performance as the school superintendent in that locale in Florida.

The other irony is that what took place in Maryland this week with the armed school official who directly confronted the shooter there saved potentially many lives and that that official’s actions were a complete contrast to what happened in Parkland last month.

LOBBY WASHINGTON D.C. TO PROVIDE PRAYER TO PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS.

More like the people who when push comes to shove won’t get in the way of jihad.

Especially when an armed official shot and killed a shooter early on over in Maryland.

I hope that while they're in DC, they notice the memorial to the Veterans of WWII....who fought for the very thing you despise...The Constitution.

And take a peek at Arlington while you're there.

You and David Hogg in particular, don't have any idea of the history of our country.

Try the Battle of Wyoming for your first lesson.
