Child is killed during school walk out against gun violence

a reply to: hopenotfeariswhatweneed

Are you fuggin kidding me? This school USED these children to further their political agenda and now a kid is dead and you have the balls to say that someone calling them out on it is using this for political reasons?

Get the hell out of here with that crap.

Sad.

And I am sure someone from the school will point out you can't control everybody. Kids will do what they do. No need to penalize the school for one person doing something they weren't supposed to.

Meanwhile, out of the other side of same mouth...

It says right there he left the designated area.
This is tragic but the school is not responsible in any way.

I don't agree obviously....

Accidents happen and that's awful, to give you an example kids go for walks with teachers all the time, this is not unusual.

What's happening is you and others are using this as a political tool to call out the gun grabbers.

This is a tragic case, the kid should have stayed with the group, the driver should have being paying more attention. The blame should squarely lie on the two people that could could have made a difference.

So please take your faux outrage somewhere else.

Bottom line here is that the law abiding citizens are the only ones getting hurt because of the political gun grabbing happening everywhere.

If there was not a scheduled walk out this kid would be alive at home with his parents..

That is a fact..

Pretty certain when it comes to kids that young - you don't just rely on spoken/written rules to keep order - especially on an "outing". Teaching 101 - you have adult supervisors at the back as well as the front so that all kids can be accounted for. This "walkout" being near a major road, all the more reason to take sensible precautions.

Anyone blaming the kid ahead of the teachers whose job it was to keep them safe is a fool. The fact that they were using the kids as political pawns in the process makes this all the more sickening.

If he'd have been at school instead of being some poor pawn in somebodies political masturbation he'd still be alive.

Teach children to look before crossing the street?

Obviously since a child has died as a direct result of the walk out she will not want anymore scheduled walkouts right?

a reply to: DBCowboy

Like I said the issue was he had a cause you just don't agree with. You couldn't care less about the kid. Just scoring political points.
I see you cowboy.

I think the lesson we can all learn from this is if you drop your kid off at school, he or she will be used as a political pawn for an ideological movement and his/her life will be sacrificed for that political movement.

A kid is dead for a cause YOU believe in.

Was his life worth it?

WAS IT?

We should just legit ban public schools. Eliminate bullying, eliminate all of the negative effects of the institution (seriously, just google school makes me feel... and let the auto fill do the rest), Eliminate school shootings.

Schools are evil, there are no two ways about it.

*shrug*

But that's just one fringe lunatic's opinion and counts for nothing.

a civics class would better serve the youth of today than a walk out.

I think a class that provided a good understanding of the constitution would better serve the kids. At least they would be generally out of harm's way in a classroom and learning their rights.

Ah. Your real issue.

I was against most bombing campaigns the USA has had

If these kids had been protesting the Syria strikes, I would say the same thing

Schools are not places to use kids as political pawns, even if I agree with the political point they are making

Encouraging 11 year olds to protest and walk out is dangerous, self serving and is a disservice to the kids

LOL...

You're funny and probably don't have kids or even remember being a kid. Kids can be elusive when they want to be elusive. I remember low crawling across a soccer field to leave school grounds before. Or running alongside a bus, or a slow moving vehicle...been there,done that, bought the t-shirt.

If the kid doesn't get hit by the vehicle, this story would have never been reported. I wonder how many other kids left school grounds across the country during this and other walkouts? Probably hundreds or thousands.
