This is what will hurt the cause for us. If the buffoons among the groups pull this crap, the other side will win.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

They're already winning because they control the media.

But we don't need to give them ammunition for us to shoot ourselves in the foot.

Don't assume the person who called was on the pro-gun side.

The Left/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist types have a track record of perpetrating these kinds of actions to cast their opposition in a bad light.

Democrat campaign headquarters have been firebombed.

Black churches burned down.

Churches, synagogues and homes spray painted with racist threats or slogans opposing Democrats.

Muslim individuals saying they were targets of racist attacks by white supremacists.

The list goes on. Many cases were proven to be the act of the very people being "victimized."

I could easily see Hogg having his own family SWATTED to get more press time and more sympathy.

So, before disparaging "our side" for this prank, you might want to withhold judgement and wait for more facts.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

To bad he has to be 21 to possess any type of firearm to protect himself if things get more out of hand.

If you ask me it was prolly a desperate attempt to stay in the spotlight. See how quick he had his face in front of a camera. Call me a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist... would it really be that far fetched coming from a kid who staged a “die in” at a grocery store for attention?

does nothing to help their cause
only gets his name in the news again
that's a fail in my book
just another media hungry snowflake
he will fade away very soon bc he says nothing meaningful
he's like the snowflakes' male cheerleader

============

to clarify, in the cbs news story link, he did not appear on camera. They talked to him on the phone.
The pictures were old footage.

It may have been a publicity stunt, but we'll never know for sure unless there is a thorough investigation which is unlikely.

I am sure Soros is providing security for him.
