Parkland survivor Emma González slams Madonna's 'God Control' video
CNN ^ | July 1, 2019 | LIsa Respers France

In a series of tweets Parkland survivor and activist Emma González has slammed Madonna's new music video, "God Control."

The video is a statement by Madonna on gun control and anti-gun violence. Madonna makes powerful statement against gun violence in 'God Control' video.

It begins with a warning for viewers and shows people, including Madonna, being gunned down with an assault weapon on a dance floor. The scene is evocative of the Pulse nightclub attack in 2016 in which 49 people were killed.

González was a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in February 2018 when a gunman opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle killing 17 people.

Over the weekend she tweeted that she had been considering her words carefully and "Madonna's new video for her song #GodControl was f***ed up, it was horrible."

"She should have sent out a message warning what her new video contained, ESPECIALLY to the Pulse Victims, ESPECIALLY as it was released Just After the Anniversary on June 12th," González tweeted. "This is NOT the correct way to talk about gun violence, unlike how many fans have been exclaiming — people who have been working in the GVP community know how to talk about gun violence, not most celebrities #GodControl." GVP stands for gun violence prevention.

CNN has reached out to Madonna for comment.

At the time the video was released the mother of six told CNN she felt a responsibility to the children of the world when it came to gun violence. "As a mother, I feel even more attached to and protective of children. Do my children go to school safely? No, they cannot," Madonna said. "Every child that I meet - as a mother you feel responsible for all of the children in the world. It's really scary...

The only “powerful statement” this so-called Madonna can make is when she is overdue for her douche.

Just watched the first minute of the video. Instead of her decades earlier singing, without digital AutoTune, where you could actually understand the words she was singing, it just comes off as one minute of non-understandable mumbling.

Technology doesn’t always make things better.

The thing old radical feminists don’t realize is that younger, even more radical feminists are eager for their scalps and will use their corpses to stand on in a heartbeat.

Reminds me of a cartoon in which a fire-and-damnation preacher is preaching hellfire to a group of Eskimos, all of whom are standing there listening with big grins on their faces.

Isn’t Gonzalez the bully who caused the Parkland shooting in the first place, by teasing Nicholas Cruz until he snapped?

It’s sad but Madonna is in the early stages of full blown “Lookatme Disease” LD sufferers crave attention and live for a mention on Page Six. They stare at their phone and wait for an agent to offer them a Depends commercial or in High School Bobbie DiNero’s case a car commercial.

"This is NOT the correct way to talk about gun violence, unlike how many fans have been exclaiming — people who have been working in the GVP community know how to talk about gun violence, not most celebrities #GodControl."

Weird angry lesbian feels only she and her gang of activists should have control over the message. Madonna, though well-intentioned, committed a thought crime but not having her messaging branded as correct by the GVP politburo.

Little fascist working hard to disarm the populace and control what they are allowed to say, as they always do.

She’s had that disease all her life, only no one but old queers wants to look at her stringy body and hard face anymore. She never deserved the attention she got, it was like a 2 yo throwing poop, sure, people look, but for all the wrong reasons.

You can bet that it doesn’t enter their minds to give up their own armed security. But if it did, I’m sure they would think that we anonymous peons don’t need it, they do. Tell that to the children gunned down in the hood every other day.
