Citizen Red

Look what just showed up on my radar (posted two years ago):

 Assailing the upcoming March for Our Lives, Codrea went after Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg, attempting to portray him as a tool of a totalitarian conspiracy as opposed to a survivor of gun violence speaking from authentic, lived experience. “To minimize the role of the totalitarian lobby’s newest citizen disarmament rock star to that of ‘survivor’ is to mask the well-organized, well-funded and well-connected interests bankrolling the March for Our Lives,” Codrea wrote. Incredibly, for Codrea and other far-right gun absolutists, the blood is on the hands of Hogg and former Attorney General Eric Holder — another bogeyman of the far right — not the NRA. “They want — they need — vulnerable school children,” Codrea wrote. “They want our guns. And they want men with guns in the employ of the powers behind them to execute their demands, even if it means more bloodbaths.” 

I'm not seeing where any of that is, you know, wrong. 

And who says anyone who knows the score wants to "debate" with useful idiots? Or move left to what someone who associates that with "white extremism," and considers the Kochs as paragons of conservatism, calls "the center"?

Its my understanding that Hogg wasn't even there the day of the shooting. A shooting that was allowed to happen by the people who should have and had the authority to prevent it.

After the Las Vegas shooting Hillary wasn't POTUS, so THEY needed another shooting and bingo we got one, to go after our guns.
