Never thought I’d see the mainstream media cover this angle to the “spontaneous student demonstrations” against law-abiding gun owners; as I’ve noted, Big Left only protests when it’s kids who look like the children of NPR executives being murdered.
Kids – black and brown ones, anyway – being killed daily in Democrat-run hellholes like North Minneapolis, Dayton’s Bluff, Newark, Camden, Baltimore, Oakland, Stockton, Sacramento, Saint Louis, New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland? Not so much.
And someone finally covered that angle:
The pain was more than familiar to them, as was the loss. Not one student who spoke inside the school at 13th and Brandywine had been spared the impact of gun violence. One by one they talked of friends whose funerals were reminders of how growing old can never be taken for granted in some of the city’s neighborhoods, of fathers gunned down before their kids even learned how to say the word Dad. “My whole life I been afraid of the world around me,” wrote Simone Akridge, 15.
So they, better than most, knew how the Florida students felt.
It’s the attention the Florida students have gotten that felt unfamiliar and unjust when so little attention is paid to the gun violence that touches so many children in cities like Philadelphia.
Ahem.
DO YOU F****NG THINK SO?
Note to every African-American – it is unjust, because Big Left doesn’t care about you. You are worth more to them poor, badly-educated, and bleeding in an emergency room or cold in the ground than you are alive, healthy and participating in the free market – but not when it comes to reminding the nation that the places Big Left controls are failed states run in a symbiotic relationship with criminal enterprises financed by a black market in drugs that leads to carnivorous gang activity…
…that kills your kids.
Those hamsters parading around DC? They don’t see you, much less recognize your suffering.
I’m sorry, I tried to think of something sympathetic and caring to write but I just can’t do it. The article set my teeth on edge.
The Florida kids enjoying their White Privilege don’t Share Your Pain? Imagine that. But what about the kids dying in Syria or Yemen? Are you Philly kids worried about them? Standing in solidarity with them? Walking out of school with them? No. Because they’re a world away dying in a war you know nothing about. Just as you’re a world away from the Florida kids, who know nothing about the war in your neighborhood.
It’s not the Philly kids’ fault. They’re just kids, they don’t know any better. They see a friend dead and the killer holding a gun, they jump to the conclusion they’ve been indoctrinated to reach . . . the gun killed their friend. Guns are bad. Pass a law against guns, badness stops.
Sorry kids, doesn’t work that way. Remember Rock, Paper, Scissors? Laws are Paper. Gun shoots through Paper. If you want the badness to stop, you must convince the people in your community to physically take the guns away from the killers holding them.
In Philly, that’s known as “stop-and-frisk” and people such as the sympathetic reporter and your Democrat politicians are trying their damnedest to make it harder for cops to take guns away from killers.
The Left is just as racist as they were in the 60s, remember LBJs infomus (but unconfirmed, but probably true) quote “I’ll have those n****** voting Democrat the next 200 years” after signing the Civil Rights bill in 1964.
Despite the claims that the NRA is funded by “gun manufacturers,” the NRA’s books are open compared to the big Lefty groups that are behind these ginned-up protests.

Negro mass killings are a self inflicted plague that was financed by reprobate Democrats in exchange for votes.
Want to stop the killing? Stop having babies you can’t, or won’t raise. Stop teaching your kids the skills to work the system. Stop allowing your schools to be held hostage by racist union thugs. Stop demonizing education. Stop allowing gangsters to deal dope in front of your house. Stop treating your neighborhoods like a dumpster.
One thing that these “spontaneous student-led demonstrations” have convinced me is that 18-year-olds lack the wisdom and maturity to make wise choices concerning firearms. Or alcohol, e-cigarettes, renting a car, getting married, taking out unrepayable loans to buy worthless credentials . . . the kids are right. We should raise the age of majority back up to 21.
