n the wake of Sunday’s mass shooting that killed at least three people at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California, anti-gun activist David Hogg has ignited a war of words on Twitter over the need for more gun control, and many Americans are ferociously firing back.
“I’m tired,” Hogg tweeted early Monday morning. “I’m tired of tweeting out # [insert city name here] strong every week. I’m tired of moments of silence, thoughts and prayers as people continue to die every day. I’m tired of having a government so divided they can’t come together to save lives or our future.”
I’m tired
I’m tired of tweeting out # [insert city name here] strong every week.
I’m tired of moments of silence, thoughts and prayers as people continue to die every day.

Hogg is a survivor of the Valentine’s Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 students and staff dead, and he has since become one of the most vocal U.S. proponents of more stringent gun laws.

So tell us David, what specific law(s) would have stopped this.
Just another activist loosing his notoriety and speaking engagements so any shooting raises his potential for revenue flow.
Yes, i do. I owe them for the work they did investigating me, for my military clearances, and my civilian DoD clearances, back in the 80’s and 70’s.
Reports say he was at school. Read the following one which has some info.

A writer for the conservative blog RedState, who reported that the CBS video
“is casting doubt” on Hogg’s whereabouts during the shooting, retracted her
March 26 story and issued a tweet-thread apology. The story’s original
headline was changed to read: “UPDATE: CBS Video Confusing. Hogg
was On Campus.”

That’s because Hogg is tweeting and speaking out in favor of the liberal view of gun control. He can tweet and speak out all he wants, as long as what he says is following the liberal party line.
This child is a total twat. Lives were saved. Three lives were unfortunately taken by the cowardly shooter, but unlike the Parkman shooting, where the cowardly deputy shirked his duty, the fine members of the Gilroy police force didn’t hesitate to face down evil. By doing so they undoubtedly saved a lot of people’s lives that day. Hats off to them.
Hogg is a fraud. He was home skipping school when the shooting occurred. Mom’s work gave him a outlet that he capitalized on. He should have taken his 15 minutes, thanked everyone for getting into Harvard, despite not being qualified, and then become anonymous while going to school. Instead, he’s making a repeated fool of himself. I still think it is a matter of time that we’ll hear (1) arrested for something, (2) dropped out of school, and (3) living at home in mommy’s basement.
No, he wasn’t. I distinctly recall an interview where he explained he had skipped class, gone home, then heard about the shooting, rushed back to school. He was not there during the shooting. At least he was honest about this, but in the end, he’s been a fraud from day one. He was not there, did not get shot at, did not hear the shots, etc. His first act was to jump in front of a TV camera outside the school.
Perfect!
Did you read the article I linked to?
Info in that article says he was at school.
Nowhere near as tired as we are of hearing the crap that oozes from your immature and ignorant damn mind, you little faggot.
Shut the hell up and take your crap elsewhere.
Nobody is listening.
"Survivor", my aching ass.
#I’m sick and tired of CameraHogg.
David,
When you come of age, you need to become a tireless, vigilant sheepdog fully equipped to protect and defend those whom you love, you community and the nation from all threats, domestic(criminal) and foreign ( political). Once you arrive at the point of realization that it isn’t guns, nor drugs nor sex nor power that corrupts man, but that man himself is corrupted and only moral, decent and if need be, lethal behaviors stop the enemy at the gate. Just if there were a few armed men at the Garlic festival the other day, just maybe one of them could have stopped the deranged evil boy who killed children and wounded others. Oh, you can plead for peace, beat swords into plowshares and demand that “government” do “something”, but that has proven over the millennia that only an armed man can effectively stop another armed man. One, while reluctantly carrying a sword, understands that the other, eagerly bearing the same, will need to be dealt with appropriately. Our founding documents clearly define that everyone has a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, however, those rights certainly do not serve to limit another’s similar rights, hence, laws. Laws created the gun free zones, the ripe for the picking low hanging fruit, a veritable garden for the evil minded, yet a few honorable men would stand and defend. Take away the right of being armed removes the rational concept of responsibility- run for your lives! Too bad. California, NY, NJ MA IL and others are reaping what they sow. Okay, I get it, shooting happen in “free states too. Yep, sure do, However, even then they occur exponentially more at venues wherein lawful carry is restricted or prohibited- see, the lawful man even will often forego the exercise of his inalienable rights in order to have fun, play or watch games, entertain himself etc. At great peril.
You young man, have no experience, only a philosophical argument and that argument is invalid on its face. When you grow up, let us know.
And you trust fact check site. Go look at his contemporaneous interviews
Some gay kid has an opinion, oh boy lets all gather around.
Got my NASA cert while at DoD, so from one disgruntled rocket scientist to another, howdy! Oh, p.s., while at grumman bethpage, witnessed, observed, inspected, accepted, and stamped initials into an ISS assembly welded in a vacuum with particle beams.
“David Hogg has ignited a war of words on Twitter”
His way of staying relevant like Occassional Cortex. throw our verbal BS and ignite a social media firestorm.
