Alien hybrid.

NPR Weekend Edition Saturday welcomed Parkland student leftist David Hogg for an interview, and host Scott Simon offered the typical "how are you coping" and "do you have time to be a teenager" softballs. But when he teed up Hogg to say something political, Hogg was obnoxious. First, he insisted "oftentimes" cops discriminate against people of color:
SCOTT SIMON: There were people who said this week when there was an incident at a school in southern Maryland. And the assailant was apparently put down by a guard at the school. There were people who said, that shows. You have armed guards in schools - people who know what they're doing. We can cut down on school shootings. How do you feel about that?
DAVID HOGG: I think it's important to realize that law enforcement does do a very good job oftentimes of trying to ensure the safety and security of their people. But oftentimes, where they fail in communities of color and in lower socioeconomic status communities where they discriminate against these people. For instance, even in our schools. When we have more of these law enforcement officers come in, yes, they're going to help secure more students. But do we really want to turn our schools into a place where we have to have police officers and basically create a war zone?
But Hogg really devolved into his usual mudslinging when asked if he was too young to speak out. The arrogant "we are the future and we will write the history" answer came out, complete with the "our old opponents will die off and then we win."

You know it's only a matter of time before they go after Washington and Jefferson.
First they came for the Confederates ...
With the youth already brainwashed, it’s a matter of what to do about us bitter clingers. If the left waits for us to die off, as Hogg says, it’ll be a lot easier for them to take over.
But if they play their hand too soon, watch out!
...a quick right elbow to that beak

Pity and a tragic shame these lil SJW’s are ignorant and uneducated. The tyrannical British would have loved a disarming of the American colonists.
The lil know- it- all’s are devoid of Biblical knowledge and the precepts of the US Constitution. They can’t cite any quotes of the wise founders but have no problem labeling them old, white racists. Not good.
“Probably by assaulting someone.”
I guess you mean with his rhetoric because he surely cannot fight his way out of a paper bag.
...his mommy is a CNN higherup...
NPR - still with us. Proof that the only permanent thing in this world is a government bureaucracy
Alien hybrid.
He may not know history. But I do. David Hogg is the Robespierre of his generation.
I am a Baby Boomer, and I am SO sick of this PIGG and his profane rants; AND for the MSM giving him a platform. I have rights, too, and as long as I have breath, I will exert them and defend them — “From my cold, dead, hands!”
The gay is strong in this one!
Yep, a nation of only the latest sound bites and tweets.
It's a big strength of Trump that he can play on that field.
No, he is actually drunk on all the attention, encouragement, and support (including financial) he is getting from the left/liberal crowd. They, of course, are exploiting him and other students because they are telegenic useful idiots. David doesn’t really know the full meaning of what he is saying (or rather being told to say by various handlers). He is too young to have the experience to understand that a lot of words amount to nonsense and, quite frankly, are insulting to the people he is trying to persuade.
Come to think of it, his energy is actually coming from the typical nihilism of youth: we will tear down the corrupt world of our elders and build a paradise in its place.
Good luck with that but I’m not holding my breath.
I’m from the baby boom generation and these kids can’t even hold a candle to the nihilistic havoc we caused during the 60s and 70’s. And we did it without smart phones and social media networks, I might add. And yet, despite all that youthful emotional energy poured out in the streets and into society, somehow, paradise did not occur.
The social and political order turned out to be pretty resilient to fundamental reordering and many of the “fresh”, “new” ideas/approaches to social problems being proposed were/are/or continue to be either half baked or come with very serious downsides. To be sure, some positive changes DID occur, but these changes to society were not an unalloyed success, and, in many ways, society got worse because nihilism is, at base, destructive and nihilists are, fundamentally, cynics; that is, destroyers.
I’d tell David to consider all the teens that DID NOT show up yesterday and especially to look closely at the backgrounds and ages of the people (and not all of them were teens) who did show up before being so confident in his pronouncements about shaping the future.
He is running on adrenaline at the moment and eventually that, along with his 15 minutes of fame, will run out. David is going to be pretty perplexed when the politicians move on from him once they have used up all his energy and he becomes a stale annoyance from a PR perspective. Too bad his parents (isn’t Dad an FBI agent?) are allowing this to happen to him. Well, he is 18; maybe they don’t have much control over him anymore.
By the why, what did David do during the shooting? What personal acts of heroism did he perform? There were some students and teachers that did act heroically during the shooting. Some were shoot, some died.
Let’s not forget them.
He kinda looks like ET with that triangle face. Really odd looking. A kind of Darren from “Bewitched” kind of odd looking. (not the normal one; the odd one) Yes, I know, I’m dating myself by bringing up that show.
How to waste your time and get you 15 minutes wonder who paid for all the buses for them to march and feed them.
Meet the new tyrant; same as the old tyrant.
Meet the new tyrant; same as the old tyrant.
Sigh. I thought we had already been through that whole screed and found it to be a false/fake news thing. But whatever, he’s still a UPOS. Well useless to me anyway but a POS in either case. ;-)
