Who, exactly, is paying for all the “teenagers” and “high school students” to travel to the state capitals and Washington DC to “talks with legislators” (and pose for the Cameras)???

Who (or what organization) is organizing the transportation and paying for the busses, lodging, meals and setting up all these meetings? Who is tipping off the media so they can have camera crews ready (and talking heads ready to commentate and pontificate)??

I mean, we are talking MILLIONS of dollars here, when you add it up. Couple of hundred dollars per “student”.

Enquring minds really, really want to know. 

“Just last week, Congress was calling on Tide to change the design of the Pods so teenagers would stop eating them. This week, teenagers should determine gun policy.”

Yes, I understand what I am beginning to sound like.

And yes, I realize that I need to buy more Reynolds Wrap. Perhaps two boxes….I have a Beanie, maybe I need a Yarmulke as well…

But really, folks, at some point, the coincidences and oddities add up, don’t they?….. Strain the credibility of even a sane and normal person, much less one like me…

I mean, somehow, all these kids from Parkland, Florida got themselves organized for protests…..by themselves?

High school kids organized themselves that well and that quickly?

All those other kids across the country got together for nearly simultaneous protests?

Really? I’m expected to believe that high school kids could organize themselves like that? Across the country….all at once?

I find that odd. Very odd. The Media had people primed and ready when this happened….almost like they had advance knowledge that this shooting was coming.

All the mistakes that Law Enforcement made…..the roommate who was so well primed “he had the right and i wouldn’t stop him”…..The collection of Anti and Ex-NRA folks….all those who are firearms owners but who “want restrictions on Second Amendment rights” that they are interviewing (I’ve never met a firearms aficionado who wants restrictions on their right to keep and bear….ever)…..No way they came up with all those in a few days…..

Yeah, I went there, and yes, it disturbs me that I can even consider that people would do what I am suggesting.

Add in the info from the post BELOW….

Things just seem….off ….here….I am actually beginning to wonder if this is a false flag event.

(07:58CDT) ETA: AAANNND then there is THIS to consider…..Curiouser and curiouser, innit?

1933 Z ETA(2): And then there is this, as well. 

Seems that this Cruz fellow, who shot up the school in Florida, somehow, despite working as a clerk in the Dollar store, was able to find the scratch to buy 10 firearms in the year preceding his crime at the school.

Ten. Firearms.

Now, I don’t know what he had, exactly.

But figure this:

His AR cost about $600 (to start, more if he got fancy).

Magazines, he had IIRC, 10, so that was about $100.

Plus 9 other firearms. Figure a minimum of $250 each if he went used.  So that is another $2500 or more.
Odd that….Odd that he could come up with that kind of cash…..On a salary just a bit above minimum wage. Probably not full time, either, as the Dollar store has few full time folks.

When I was making minimum wage or a bit more, I didn’t have the scratch to FEED my one gun purchase (which I bought used, and saved for MONTHS to buy), much less buy 9 more….
Where did he get the money?

Don’t forget, he had $500 or more worth of other “tactical” gear on that day as well.

Where did he get the cash for that?

Perhaps he stopped eating for a month or two…..

And, with it, the cries about making “The Wealthy” and the Millionaires and Billionaires having to pay their “Fair Share”.
Especially on the Chicago TV stations. Were one looking at it from outside our culture and country, you’d think every one of the candidates is a Socialist…

‘Cause they all want all of the “Wealthy” (note that wealthy is undefined, but most of the candidates have a fair bit of wealth) to pay whatever they think (but won’t define) is a “Fair Share”…

Really? Cause if we do that, folks, you won’t like it.

Tax revenues will drop by about 45% if we all paid our “Fair Share” Most voters taxes aren’t even a rounding error in the actual tax tolls. The bottom 40% don’t even PAY taxes. It is the top 10% that pays the bills for the rest.

So, tell me, what, exactly, is the “Fair Share” of which you speak?? Should we all pay 20%? 30%? 50%? What, (and please, be specific) constitutes a “Fair Share” of income that we all should pay?

(Note I said “All”. Yep, if you want to do 50% taxes, then we all get to do 50% from the kid making minimum wage on up. 
That’s “fair” in my definition.) 

I’m all for it, but I’d like it defined beforehand. 

No idea at all as to who might have organized the Anti-Trump rally. 

Sure, they had no idea. (I believe that, the Easter Bunny told me so, along with Santa.)

It was, apparently, the “Russians”.

And the MSM (at least the mostly liberal leaners, anyway) who gave good coverage to the “Anti” rally and scant coverage of the “Pro” rally.

( I have always thought that the press had a tie in with the “Russians”….The Soviets used them well during the Vietnam era to disseminate propaganda manipulate public opinion regarding the war, and there are, if one bothers to look, many other examples of foreign manipulation of the press.

Unwitting? Perhaps, but not likely. They aren’t that stupid, they had to know. Not saying Trump and his campaign are completely innocent, but the press was SURELY colluding to manipulate the election (and not for Trump). Perhaps with the Russians, surely with each other.

If you believe otherwise, then you are either a fool, a dupe, or a tool.

Press the right buttons…..

Dude at the gunshow wearing a “Bernie Sanders” shirt (complete with some logo) :

Me: “Bernie was Robbed, Hillary stole the nomination”

Him: “Yes, you are right! In fact, there is proof that……….”

Everyone else moved away, and he was still gibbering to anyone who would listen (and no one in particular) when I too walked away.
I have no idea how long it took for him to wind down.

I just couldn’t resist though. 

If all those folks who are screaming about Gun Control (“We must take action!!!”) would take the time to organize and spend half as much energy as they do in ineffective “protests” that really do nothing but boost the egos of the people leading them, and instead would organize to patrol and defend around and near the schools, they could probably actually accomplish something, either by deterring the next miscreant or being in a position to take action if and when. Wouldn’t even need to be armed with firearms, really. A decent truncheon would work..or a Tazer or pepper spray (all of which are illegal in these school zones).

But that would require that they actually think, think ahead and plan, and not just be reactionary….which is where their failing is. Likely, in about 10 days, they’ll find another shiny object meme of the day to watch and froth over.

Plus, of course, it would require them to take action themselves, and not expect someone else to do so, which is (generally) their thought process.
