Him and emma. While the other kids are going to college and stuff, he's being the dems pawn for gun control. Im sure some dem will offer him a job 1 day. And he will use his "story" for a political career.

Apparently Hoggsbreath is a 4.0 GPA student, but bombed his SATs -- that's his story anyway.  Due to that, he's being turned down by every good college he applied to. My personal observation is it's often the high GPA students who believe they already know what's on the SAT, so they fail to prepare and end up getting accepted to less prestigious colleges than others with B+/A- GPAs.

He is using the school shooting and his non-sense gun control BS as a golden parachute.  College is not an option now unless he retakes the SATs and does very well. 

BTW, he was also pushing Parkland HS to permit those graduating to have extra time to complete their class work, because PTSD or something.

Meanwhile, a Junior -- another Parkland student/survivor -- who was excluded from all these events and town halls because of his pro-2a stance is #1 in his class standings, and he's working to be valedictorian next year when he graduates.

A tale of two ideologies -- victim versus conservative.

I read a Tweet saying the location where Hogg had his protest in front of a Publix store was just pouring rain!   :rofl:

I'd have to "accidentally" spill a few gallons of vinegar.

"Clean up on aisle 13!"

Just before the "die in", Publix tried to get them to call it off by issuing a statement they would not support Pullman.

I've read they will also be pulling funding for Planned Parenthood and other Liberal groups, too, just to make it balanced.   :rofl:

Of course, it was never about forcing compliance. It was about national attention for Hogg and trying to grab $1,000,000 from the business.

When you try to appease these extortionists, it only emboldens then to continue and escalate, just like terrorists.

He should keep talking. The more he does the more his true colors shine through. Born opportunist.

There were reports that customers were chanting "Trump, Trump, Trump".

I wonder why the market didn't call the police and try to trespass them?  That would look nice on his record.
