Apparently they have realized that theirs is a lost cause so they have decided to send children into the fray.

NYT Headline: What Students Said About Guns After 14 of Their Classmates Were Killed

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — They shouted into a microphone until their voices became hoarse. They waved handmade signs. They chanted.

And sometimes, in the middle of it all, they choked up.

Weird how when the MSM wants to push something then they will cover a rally or protest. I guess we are supposed to imagine that this just happened or that the kids did it, not that it was organized by Soros sponsored protest groups.

At the federal courthouse here on Saturday, students — including many of the very people who had to endure the trauma of a shooting on campus — continued to speak out about guns. Since Wednesday, when a gunman killed 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., their youthful voices have resonated where those of longtime politicians have largely fallen flat.

Their voices have resonated because the NYT and all the other CIA outlets are amplifying them. Who have they resonated with? Those who oppose civil rights.

And on Saturday, another young woman’s words captivated the nation.

That's funny, I was in this nation on Saturday and not captivated at all. They are personifying the whole nation and characterizing it inaccurately.

Speaking publicly at the rally, Emma González, a senior, pledged that her school would be the site of the nation’s last mass shooting. How could she know? Because, she said, she and her peers would take it upon themselves to “change the law.”

Oh, poor kid, she imagines that there is a change in law that would somehow have prevented this. Children are so easily mislead.

“The people in the government who are voted into power are lying to us,” she said. “And us kids seem to be the only ones who notice and are prepared to call B.S.”

Politicians do lie about a lot of things, like for example a lot of them lie when they claim this or that gun control law would be effective.

“They say that tougher gun laws do not decrease gun violence — we call B.S.!”

That's not politicians saying that, it's scientists. The New York Times could never make such a claim because it is factually inaccurate so instead they echo a child saying it, that is how this article works.

she continued as a chorus of supporters echoed her. “They say a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun — we call B.S.!

That's weird, wasn't the shooter at her school stopped by good guys with guns? Aren't all of them?

They say guns are just tools like knives and are as dangerous as cars — we call B.S.!

She is right there, anyone saying guns are as dangerous as cars is full of shit, according to the most recent figures there were about 71 times as many car accident fatalities as gun accident fatalities.

They say that no laws could have been able to prevent the hundreds of senseless tragedies that have occurred — we call B.S.!

She calls BS but whoever is feeding her these lines does not have an actual law that could have prevented anything.

That us kids don’t know what we’re talking about, that we’re too young to understand how the government works — we call B.S.!”

You sure don't seem like you know what you are talking about.

She wiped her eyes aggressively. Then, she urged the people in the crowd to register to vote — and to give their elected officials “a piece of your mind.”

She wiped her eyes aggressively!! LOL The NYT is so poetic with their propaganda. Oh don't worry honey, if they try to pass any idiotic laws I will certainly call my elected officials, something you have never done.

Just hours later, one video of the speech had been viewed more than 100,000 times.

The mainstream media can get things trending that's for sure.

In a telephone interview early Sunday, Ms. González, 18, said she was surprised by the enthusiastic reaction to her speech.

“I just got off the phone with Demi Lovato,” she said. “That’s not normally something that ever should have happened.”

When you are being used by progressives the sky is the limit!

Ms. González said she was encouraged to speak out, in part, by other supportive people in her community, especially those who she said do not yet feel comfortable talking publicly.

Bloomberg and Soros.

“This is my whole world now,” she said. “I cannot allow myself to stop talking about this.”

It's sad that first she didn't actually educate herself about the topic.

A person Ms. González met at a party was killed in the shooting, she said; another person she has known for “an incredibly long time” is still in the hospital.

“Everybody needs to understand how we feel and what we went through, because if they don’t, they’re not going to be able to understand why we’re fighting for what we’re fighting for,” Ms. González said.

Says a girl who does not understand what it is she is fighting for.

She noted that some have criticized students for raising their voices, suggesting that they take the time to grieve instead.

“This is the way I have to grieve,” Ms. González said. “I have to make sure that everybody knows that this isn’t something that is allowed to happen.”

He broke many laws, what he did was not allowed, I suppose what did allow it to happen was creating a "gun free zone" where the shooter could kill without fear of someone shooting back.

Here are the voices of some other students who, like Ms. González, have spoken out in recent days.

Here are the things the NYT would like to say without being fact checked:

David Hogg, 17: ‘We’re children. You guys are the adults’

While David Hogg, 17, and dozens of his Stoneman Douglas classmates were hiding in the dark in the school chef’s office, he interviewed them on camera about their views on gun policy. Mr. Hogg, a senior and the student news director, later told The New York Times that lawmakers must make schools safer.

Wait a minute, he was conducting interviews about politics during the shooting? That's bizarre. The problem is everyone wants to make schools safer but more gun control laws won't actually do that.

“We need to do something,” he said. “We need to get out there and be politically active. Congress needs to get over their political bias with each other and work toward saving children’s lives.”

Referring to politicians, Mr. Hogg told CNN: “We’re children. You guys are the adults.”

That's funny, once again the call goes out to "dooo something", that's helpful. We'll get right on something.

Carly Novell, 17: ‘This IS about guns’

Hours after the mass shooting, surviving students turned to social media to discuss gun control. They addressed the prevalence of such attacks and why someone with a mental illness can buy a gun.

Anyone adjudicated as having mental illness is not allowed to buy a gun, duh. And of course homicidal maniacs don't really care what they are allowed to do or have.

“Guns give these disgusting people the ability to kill other human beings,” Carly Novell, a 17-year-old senior who is an editor for the school’s quarterly magazine, wrote on Twitter. “This IS about guns.”

Oh, right, because without a legal gun then no one would be able to kill anyone. That's why the gang members never kill anyone, because they don't have legal guns. No one with a truck could do harm.

In a video interview with The Times, Ms. Novell said she was trying to use her anger fruitfully.

I guess an NYT interview is fruit.

“People always talk about gun control and how things need to change, but nothing ever does,” she said. “And that is so frustrating.”

That's not true a lot has changed, all 50 states now allow people to carry concealed guns, and gun homicides and fatal accidents trended to all time lows.

Tyra Hemans, 19: ‘I want to talk with’ Trump

The public outcry from some Stoneman Douglas students was vastly different from the response of survivors of the Columbine High School shooting in 1999. Those students two decades ago did not turn to activism as they grieved.

Yeah, that was before the internet and children thinking that the things they said on it mattered. That was before children felt the need to make every one of their private thoughts and actions public.

In contrast, Tyra Hemans, a senior at Stoneman Douglas, brought a poster featuring the word “ENOUGH” to a funeral for one of her classmates on Friday. She said she also wanted to deliver a message to President Trump.

Protesting at a funeral is something the NYT finds praiseworthy. What message does that deliver to the president?

“I want our politicians to stop thinking about money and start thinking about all these lives we had lost,” she said. “I want to talk with him about changing these laws.”

What a bizarre statement, "money"? Who said anything about money? Oh I get it, she has been brainwashed to believe that the NRA, with the million dollars a year they spend, owns all of our politicians and that they support the second amendment just for all that cash. Poor kid. I guess she does not know about the $50 million a year Bloomberg spends on misleading propaganda.

Daniela Palacios, 16: ‘Change is going to come of this’

Among those who attended Saturday’s rally was Daniela Palacios, 16, a sophomore at another Broward County high school, Cypress Bay.

This was her first protest, she said, and she stood with her mother, a tiny gold cross on a chain around her neck.

Returning to school after the shooting at Stoneman Douglas had been difficult, she explained, and she said she was there to call for a ban on firearms like the semiautomatic AR-15 rifle used by the gunman.

Oh there it is! Buried way down after all the emotional pleas, they want to ban semiautomatic rifles! Well that makes sense, they were not alive when we already tried that for a decade and it had zero effect on gun homicide. Poor ignorant child has no idea that fewer than 100 people are killed annually by " the semiautomatic AR-15 rifle used by the gunman." And of course if those guns were banned it would not save those 100 lives, they would still be shot just by different guns.

“Wherever you bump into someone, there is the fear that they’re the next shooter,” she said, “and every bell is a gunshot.”

I am sure that was quite traumatic, I know what we should do, parade these kids around in the media and use them as pawns to push our political agenda!

“I feel like some change is going to come of this,” she went on, her voice barely audible amid the roar of the crowd. “I feel hopeful.”

Ellie Branson, 16: ‘Can you include the names of the victims?’

Nope, the NYT couldn't do that for her!

When the protest ended, a group of teenagers stayed behind, chanting and hugging — and chanting again.

“It could have been us,” one sign read. “My friend died for what?” said another.

Their deaths were senseless, like most peoples', it is sad.

“No more guns! No more guns! No more guns!” they yelled.

No, more guns!

Among those leading the group was Ellie Branson, 16, a junior from South Broward High School. She wore a yellow and white T-shirt, her cheeks wet with tears.

When the protest finally ended, she texted a reporter.

“Can you include the names of the victims?” she asked. “Their names are more important than mine.”

Not in this report!

Julie Turkewitz reported from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Matt Stevens and Jason M. Bailey from New York. Jack Begg contributed research.

and @funbobby51 contributed his two cents

Is anyone else disgusted that they are using these poor traumatized children as their standard bearer? There are varying accounts of the Children's Crusade but in one of them all the kids that don't die on the trip are sold into slavery. What do you think about this?
