I guess he isn't getting the attention he used to.

David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland, Fla., massacre who has become a highly visible gun control activist, claims he has been the target of an assassination attempt seven times the past year. Hogg, 19, told The Washington Post in an article published on Tuesday that the attempts to end his life came from people who are "misguided and misinformed of what we’re actually here to talk about."
quote:
The 19-year-old, who plans to attend Harvard this fall, recognized that Parkland students quickly started a larger conversation about school shootings and said it's "because we’re not vulnerable." "What are you going to come after? We lost our friends in school that day. We lost our teachers in school that day. We don’t have jobs. You can’t come after our jobs that don’t exist. And we aren’t afraid to call out the bulls--- and the real thing that’s causing this," he told the Post.
quote:
Hogg said that in the last year alone, multiple people have threatened his life. He acknowledged it's "horrible that I have to live through this, and it is traumatizing." "But you eventually become desensitized to it. Like, oh, your house got SWAT-ted. You got a call from the police saying someone said that everyone in your family had been killed and that you are being held hostage for $100,000. Right? That becomes part of daily life," he said. "It’s just something that you have to get through. But I mean, what am I going to do? Stop?"

“Assassination attempts”?
To paraphrase Chris Rock, Malcolm X, MLK, and JFK got assassinated. Hogg just got shot at. Maybe. If it wasn’t a starter pistol or a car backfiring.

He is a "survivor" even though he wasn't there?

Everyone forgot about that little figgot (with an "a") so he came up with an excuse to get in the news.

I never understood why people let some high school kid get them so worked up.

Go pull up some old threads on the Political talk board discussing this kid. It’s not hard to believe

I went to high school. Could have been me.

a lot of the hardcore right's response to him probably helped his movement gain credence. There was a lot of hate spewed at him. He should have been invited to go shoot with some folks
