Spokeschild David Hogg Offers Profanity-Filled Angry Rant;
School Plans Defense Against Shooters -- a Five Pound Bucket of Rocks That Can Be Thrown

"It's like when your old-a** parents are like, 'I don't know how to send an iMessage,' and you're just like, 'Give me the f**king phone' and you take it and you're like, 'OK, let me handle it,' and you get it done in one second," Hogg said. "Sadly, that's what we have to do with our government because our parents don't know how to use a f**king democracy, so we have to." -- David Hogg, Spokeschild, 2nd Amendment Expert, and person who was vaguely in the vicinity when something bad happened to people he didn't know

Regarding David Hogg: These spokeschildren have been carefully curated, apparently for their willingess to push leftist memes to the world.

But why would anyone listen to them? We usually listen to survivors to know what an experience was like (and that, in turn, may indirectly affect our perception of whether action is needed as to some issue).

But the liberal news business has never turned to Human Shields before in such a sustained way for policy prescriptions.

If being somewhat close to gunfire has given David Hogg and spokesmodel Delancey Tar special political insight on the 2nd Amendment, may I ask if it has also given them special insight on the 1st Amendment, or the Fifth? Why not also ask these spokeschildren about the omnibus spending bill or what to do about ISIS or Syria?

Apparently being in the general vicinity of a shooting has given these children special wisdom we should all heed; why not then begin quizzing them about all issues of the day?

By the way, I never hear from these Curated Spokeschildren about their actual experience as far as how close to the shooting they were. I am starting to think there's a reason for that, and that maybe these carefully-selected pundit-tykes were actually not very close to the gunfire at all, and have no more Baptism By Gunfire insight than anyone watching the TV that day.

You know, in Clueless, Cher had some really great points to make about immigration. Maybe we should make her DHS Secretary.

Meanwhile, a school superintendent in New York says it's time to arm up against school shooters-- with rocks.

The superintendent of the Blue Mountain School District is in the spotlight after telling lawmakers in Harrisburg his students protect themselves against potential school shooters with rocks.

"Every classroom has been equipped with a five-gallon bucket of river stone. If an armed intruder attempts to gain entrance into any of our classrooms, they will face a classroom full students armed with rocks and they will be stoned," said Dr. David Helsel.

...

The superintendent of the Blue Mountain School District was explaining his unconventional form of protecting the students in their schools in the event of an active shooter situation: give them rocks.

“At one time I just had the idea of river stone, they`re the right size for hands, you can throw them very hard and they will create or cause pain, which can distract,” said Helsel.

This sounds ridiculous, because it is ridiculous, but I will note a few positive things about it:

1. It definitely is thinking outside the box.

2. It's actually a little bit pro-active and a little bit... is empowering the right word? It's a good thing, I think, to let people know, even when they're kids, that they can and should look out for themselves, and use violence in self-defense if necessary.

The problem is that this would never, ever work. Throwing a rock with force takes not only time, but space -- you have to be standing tall, not behind cover, to really put your back and elbow into a throw. You therefore have to expose yourself completely to make one throw of a stone, which will probably not even hit.

Now, a classroom of students all throwing rocks in a barrage or rolling volley would actually be effective, but that kind of coordinated-yet-spontaneous action by a group of untrained people is unheard of. It's impossible, it would never happen, and it's a bit dangerous to rely on something so absurd as a defense. It's like when child soldiers in Africa wear shirts they think have been blessed to be bulletproof -- a fake magic charm can get you into trouble.

David Hogg wants gun owners to give up their guns for safety, but this prissy little bitch draws the line at having to carry an unfashionably transparent backpack.

Yeah, transparent backpacks aren't really a great fix -- you can hide a gun inside a book (just carve out a hole) -- but it is interesting which Constitutionally Guaranteed Freedoms he's willing to go to bat for.

Apparently the 69th Amendment guarantee to carry a fashionable backpack of your choice is sacrosanct.

Oh, by the way, you're not going to believe this, but adults have created a dark-money advocacy group to manage and promote their Spokeschildren.

The media created these gun control pop stars, but the adults are planning the tour dates and collecting the ticket money.

Below, the angry Teen Savant David Hogg wants you to know he's angry and he's not going to put up with Republicans, the NRA, or rice pudding instead of real pudding any longer.

And Of Course They Took It Down, Because The Spokeschild Did Not Come Off Well In the Clip.

Deleted video below. I hope someone has a copy.

Copy Found! See Townhall for quotes and a different copy of the clip. I've also embedded that copy below.

"It's like when your old-a** parents are like, ‘I don't know how to send an iMessage,' and you're just like, ‘Give me the f**king phone' and you take it and you're like, 'OK, let me handle it,' and you get it done in one second," Hogg said. "Sadly, that's what we have to do with our government because our parents don't know how to use a f**king democracy, so we have to."

I'd cut this kid's f-bombs and unearned arrogance into a commercial and just blitz red districts with it.
