Attacking students

By Michael Frandzel - Portsmouth | Mar 2, 2018

Well, the right-wing trolls, the NRA, their Republican allies and Fox News are at it again – attacking high school students in Parkland, Florida, (and nationwide) for getting involved and demanding action on gun safety.

It turns out the students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are too dumb to notice their fellow students lying dead in the hallways, blood spattered on the walls. Nope, according to the right-wing Breitbart types, it’s outside agitators like their favorite all-knowing, all-powerful boogeyman, George Soros, who duped the students into getting organized and demanding action on gun safety.

The students couldn’t have organized the protests themselves, because, as we all know, teenagers are not very savvy about social media. Yea, sure.
