Seawriter: My David Hogg Moment
2nd March 2018
It is said when you are young and foolish, you are young and foolish. While a tautology, it is also true.
This is demonstrated by David Hogg, school shooting “survivor” sucking up media time lecturing everyone on violence, while at the same time displaying ignorance of facts, statute law, and Constitutional Law. (I put survivor in quotes because he was in a different building on campus. He had as much chance of actually getting shot as the Broward County sheriff’s deputies cowering outside the building containing the active shooter. Less, actually. There was a diminishingly small possibility the sheriffs might have shot Cruz leaving the building if only out of self-preservation.)
People like David Hogg wind up being either elected officials or, more likely, staff members to elected officials.
I do not mean that as a compliment. We all knew such people in high school and college, and always counted our fingers after shaking hands with them.
