Breitbart ^ | 21 Feb 2018 | Joel B. Pollak

Colton Haab, a student who survived last week’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, refused to participate in a CNN Town Hall on Wednesday night after he was told to ask a “scripted” question.

Haab, a junior at the high school, told Fort Lauderdale ABC affiliate WPLG that CNN invited him to speak at the televised town hall in nearby Sunrise, Florida, and that he and his parents had dressed up for the occasion.

But CNN then told Haab he would have to read a question that CNN had prepared for him:

It was almost the same day that I read a comment about a girl giving an interview with an inappropriate smile. Probably the bald chick.

Isn’t that the town ruled by the scientologists?

Lots of smiles on the faces of the Parkland School Shooting 'victims'.

What about the 17 - 20 year olds that are issued M9s, M4/M16s, M240s or M249s in the military? Are they too immature to operate those responsibly?

I’ll see your “voting” and “driving” and raise you “transitioning” and “abortions”.
We must do this to protect the children!

Exactly. That’s why there was a lot of skepticism about the whole “townhall” meeting.

I don't think so. Bob Butterworth was the major back then when they tried to ban handguns in the city just like Elk Grove Village in Illinois did. His effort kind of backfired here in Florida. Lol.

In a school of 3000+ students, the vast majority had no clue what happened, didn’t know anyone it happened to and have made up stories just to get some selfie time.

The left trips over their arguments constantly. The “children” must be protected from guns and sexual predators but must be allowed freedom to kill the unborn and to choose their gender (even if they are born Homosexual).

How many of thee Parklawn “survivors” have killed their preborn “mistakes”?

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s not some truth in this. Isn’t Hogg practicing the line about his friend went into a bathroom on the same hallway that the shooter walked down or something?

And if I were actually someone who was on the “front line” of this so to speak, I’d be pretty mad at the “me too’s” running around to get air and screen time.

May I suggest “urine journalism”, or worse, “brown journalism”?

F-IN DISGUSTING that the radical left uses this shooting to promote their agenda.

Sick of their crap, and their fake outrage.

Now lets see if the Dems want to agree like they said they do.
