    Certainly. But "bad things" are far more likely to happen in the violent gun culture of the USA.

    That shouldn't happen to anybody.
    It should not, but sadly it does happen in the US more than anywhere else in the developed world.

    How one responds to tragedy says a whole lot about his character.
    Attempting to address the gun problem in the USA in an attempt to reduce the likelihood of further gun violence, as per David Hogg, says a whole lot of mostly good things about his character.

      Although I learned from the NRA today, the correct solution to gun violence is more guns. Apparently the female cop who wandered into a black guys apartment thinking it was hers and then shot him for being in "her" apartment, could have been stopped if he'd had a gun and shot her first for entering his apartment. Good to know the shooting of cops is NRA endorsed.

        Unbelievable logic! So the female cop and the innocent black man could have had a shoot out in his apartment, where she shouldn't have been in the first place, and maybe some others would have been killed too. Yes, that makes sense.

        And, I can just see the outcome if a black man shot a cop, whatever the circumstances.

          And getting famous from such an event is just a bonus, right?

              He has used his position as a victim mostly to promote himself. He has written a book and said he plans to run for congress when he turns 25.

                Why did you edit your post to change this to "obsessed"? I could ask you why you're "obsessed" with my dislike for the boy. You could mind your own business and stay out of matters in our country! But, no, you're obsessed with the USA and finding fault.
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  Some would see the victim of a school shooting writing a book the proceeds of which he plans to give away and with ambitions to enter public life, as a positive response to a terrible tragedy. But not the cynical gun-lovers around here apparently.

                      Yeah, because of course Hogg wasn't at all affected by the murder of his classmates. You people are projecting!

                        What is he saying that we don't already know?
                        He isn't only trying to convince people like you, he is trying to wake others up, get people involved, register them to vote, so that our elected representatives will stop defending the NRA and the gun nuts point of view on this.

                          What makes you think that fame is why Hogg and the rest of these kids are doing what they're doing? It wouldn't be because you disagree with their perspective now would it?

                            So what? Thats what citizenship is all about. What is wrong with you people. I guess you think that victims should just keep their mouths shut and do nothing.
