What a dumb $#@!..........
That explanation would be consistent with an interview I saw with him at the time. He said he didn't know there was a shooting until he saw the headlines. So apparently a lot of kids went home thinking it was a drill. He saw the headline, realized there really was a shooting, and went back to the school to "get interviews" (be interviewed).

Bring it, bring it, double down! The European-style socialists in the MEDIA have gone too far left, and, bigger problem, the country is starting to shift back K (rightward), so they don't realize their error. They don't realize they're seriously triggering some K-selected amygdalae. They're too far out of whack. So they have lost their ability to persuade the mainstream.
Partially, of course.
Obviously when your group controls everything, you still can exert some heavy-duty crowd-control power. Controlling everything is nice like that.
The author of the article has now confirmed that the comment was taken out of context by CBS.
*Update: After being supplied with further information from CBS via the Washington Examiner’s inquiry, it has come to our attention that CBS released the video segment out of context. Hogg was referring to his returning to the school that night to interview witnesses.

Of course the kid is protected and serving an agenda.I think the agenda is pretty clear here, this kid is protected to serve their purpose
You do not disprove that with easily discredited bull$#@! though.
That only improves his position, makes him more credible and weakens our already weak and minority point of view.
This is too important and too critical to $#@! up, between disheartened, disgruntled and asleep patriots, about to be gutted by this scatterbrained fraud in the White House and an army GOP Quislings and traitors in the House and Senate, we're on the verge of losing years of progress on the gun rights front, THE ONLY PROGRESS ON INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY THAT CAN ARGUABLY BE SAID TO HAVE MADE GAINS OVER THE LAST THREE OR FOUR DECADES, all driven by a bunch of Bolshevik kids and their enablers.
These people need to be shouted down, loudly, boldly and with facts, not with tales of George Soros Boogeymen and out of context quotes that mean something completely different than what they actually mean.

17 or 24,, he is deeply entrenched and invested in this.. And I suspect his father is complicit if not a driving force.
That would make him a political asset of the FBI.. and Agent of the FBI. (Agent Provocateur )
and complicit with a Media Campaign,, Connected with CNN.. which makes him an agent of the Government pushing an agenda.
No Sympathy for what he reaps.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Yup. Stay away from this one.
He was at the school - during the day - then went home - and then went on TV. School typically ends at what, 3 pm? And TV cameras started showing up - and then they stayed. It was dark out when he was giving interviews. Night time. School, home, and then back to school.
There are a lot of lies in all of this. This is not the lies. Somebody is fcking up here.

by Cristina Laila March 26, 2018
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student, David Hogg raised some eyebrows after it appears he told CBS News an under reported version about what transpired on the day Nikolas Cruz went on a shooting spree on February 14th.
Hogg initially told the media he was in his AP Environmental Science class when he heard a “pop” sound and immediately recognized it as a gunshot.
The 17-year-old student describes being huddled in a hot closet with other students during the shooting; he even filmed himself with a camera cell phone.
In a new CBS documentary about the Parkland students called “39 Days,” which aired on Saturday, Hogg says on the day of the shooting he grabbed his camera and quickly rode his bike 3 miles from his house to the school to get interviews.
CBS transcript:
6 HOURS AFTER THE RALLY
Delaney Tarr: It wasn’t even like an intentional — we all grouped together. It was – we all had these different things that we were saying and different things we were doing that people were responding to. And that was just kind of a natural push to get us to come together and for us to become, like, a united force.
DAVID HOGG: On the day of the shooting, I got my camera and got on my bike and road as fast as I could three miles from my house to the school to get as much video and to get as many interviews as I could because I knew that this could not be another mass shooting.
Hogg also admits he didn’t personally know many of the students who died that day.
DAVID HOGG: I didn’t know most of these people at a very personal level, but I wanted to make their voices heard and that’s what I’m really trying to do.
CBS should have cleared up the context.
This version has been overlooked by most of the media. Vox was first to report this version of the story:
The evening after the shooting, Hogg says, he biked up to the school, where the media was still camped out. This time, he put himself in front of the camera, making his first — but not final — plea for an end to mass shootings. He made another on CNN on Thursday morning, calling on lawmakers to “get something done.”
In an interview with TIME Magazine on the day of the shooting, Hogg says all he could think of during the shooting was “pull out my camera because if we all die the camera survives.”
Hogg told TIME in the hours following the ordeal. “And the only thing I could think of was, pull out my camera and try telling others. As a student journalist, as an aspiring journalist, that’s all I could think: Get other people’s stories on tape. If we all die, the camera survives, and that’s how we get the message out there, about how we want change to be brought about.”
In David Hogg’s interview with CBS he says he jumped on his bike with his camera and rode as fast as he could from his house to the school to get interviews.
Perhaps CBS should’ve clarified the timeline to put this into context.
“The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner
I can't speak for the other issues, but I've seen many polls about universal background checks and I've even seen them as high as 97% in favor. And probably not the kind of background checks that dylan roof was subject to - basically none at all because of the maximum waiting period. If you aren't in favor of universal background checks you might be a paranoid schizophrenic.

The tool certainly does matter, lmao. You don't exactly see dozens of people being killed by lone wolves with knives. You say it shouldn't be restricted because it doesn't work, but... it does work. Look at every other first world country and compare the homicide by firearm rate. And then compare the general homicide rate. Your argument simply doesn't hold up when you look at the numbers.
A far more compelling argument is: no gun should be blanket banned because freedom, which is an argument that I agree with. But to say that there shouldn't be background checks is just $#@!ing lunacy.

Which lies?
Country (homicide by firearm) (overall intentional homicide rate)
US (3.5) (4.88)
France (0.21) (1.58)
UK (0.06) (0.92)
Italy (0.35) (0.78)
Australia (0.18) (0.98)
Japan (0.00) (0.31)
South Korea (0.02) (0.74)
As you can see, no country's overall intentional homicide rate even comes close to the US homicide by firearm rate. An analysis of the data will tell you that murderers choose to do their murdering with other tools in those countries, but they are far less prolific.
Or are the transparent sources of wikipedia lying to us? (conspiracy?)

Excellent!
I wonder if even more insight could be gained by further examining the copious data that is, for better or worse, at our fingertips?
Does New Hampshire count as a first world country?
Does Louisiana? (Should it?)
I wonder if there's any difference in homicide rate between those two countries.
And if so, hmm, I wonder why.
Actually I changed my mind, a "well-regulated militia" would certainly have some screening process of who can and cannot be part of said militia. You would definitely have to amend the Constitution to blanket ban any firearm, which, ironically we do, but I don't think you would need to to justify background checks.
