"Hands up, don't shoot!" It originated in protests in Ferguson Mo. The U.S. "Justice" Dep't (as biased as it was under possible Dem Presidential candidate Eric Holder) reflexively tried its best to hang the officer who defended himself against the homicidal "victim"; try as it would, it could not escape the conclusion that the officer had acted properly. You'd think that would put paid to the chant but no, its catchy it is. Now, apparently, its been adopted by groups expressing justified anger over the Florida school shooting. Now why would that be; is it spontaneous? Ehhh, no.
I'm thinking about other such ditties. I remember "Hey, hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?" You never heard "Hey, hey Ho Chi Minh, how many innocents have you done in?" Well, there's a reason for that. The professional far leftist infection of the multitudinous baby boomers, especially through the college campuses, was starting to yield very positive results.
Its still much active. It has spread deeply into our secondary and even our elementary educational systems. Why leftist boomers are now much venerated senior teachers and principals with decades of tenure. Why, William Ayers, who boasted of the charges against him of Vietnam era domestic terrorism "guilty as hell, free as a bird" is now a much invited education guru. When I objected to my elementary school children being exposed to the spit on Vietnam veterans anthem "Ohio", I was treated to a contempt filled lecture.
That high school students are approximately as naive as were the seminal boomers is a reasonable view. They are younger after all, though their childhoods have been far more trying. That they would be vulnerable to cynical radicals is sadly to be expected, especially in some (certainly not all)affluent suburban settings, with their foo foo ambience.
For high school students to be absolutely incensed that they have not been protected by a society fully capable of doing so is completely justified. But so much of the initially obvious (I say that because it is certain that the MSM suppresses news of any dissent) outrage is directed toward gun owners and the NRA (which defends our constitutionally affirmed rights in that regard ). That reflects the baleful influence on the kids of the leftists in our education system. The myth that the availability of guns is the problem, that myth easily defeated by the documented paucity of such abominations in our traditionally gun owning land before the "anything goes" '60's, is advanced by the left as a means to discredit one of the main pillars of resistance to the left: gun owners and their NRA and ancillary organizations. The totalitarians know that the path to dominance is blocked by the American conservative movement, of which gun rights advocates are one of the mainstays.
Those kids should be p.o.d! The decision makers have, because of their fear of "ickiness", deliberately ignored the obvious solution. The defense can be established over night. Put armed policemen or soldiers in each and every school. After awhile, reinforce them with responsible armed volunteers from the public. That's what the kids should, with an eloquence and moral authority only they may command, demand!
Oh,so many of the kids don't know that. How could they? They lack experience and senses of judgement honed by that. We'll have to stand for them. Jack

I must admit, I've paid no attention to what the "survivors" are saying about gun control, mainly because what's going on at present is such obvious exploitation of tender emotions. It's what always happens after a school shooting, and the left is shameless in its propagandizing. Almost always, the dark cloud passes, and gun laws remain much the same. Now, as for your evident despair about the political naivete of our youth, I share it to a large degree, but the media is trying to generate the impression that ALL young people are crying out for gun control. That's just not true, and it would be nice to see some right-thinking youngsters push back...
P.S. It will always be primarily the responsibility of LOCAL law enforcement to protect people from harm, so why is there no focus on the multitude of failures at the local level to confront the threat that Cruz posed?
Dr. Waddy: Anything which disserves the anti-gunners' propagation of the myth that the availability of guns is the problem (and I should have proofread that better in my post)will be ignored or suppressed to the best of their abilities. Fox News is perhaps our strongest ally in combating that; I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them interviewing courageous dissenters among the protesting students. No, I fully expect youngsters to be naive and consider it natural but the boomers' inordinate numbers alone made their foolishness inordinately and catastrophically consequential. These kids who have gotten up on their hind legs and howled this time are raw too due to their even younger ages but though I hope they do bring about action I fear it will not be that which would work immediately. The failures at the local level could be due to a syndrome I often saw in the military, corrections and in my year subbing in local schools. "Oh you shouldn't have written this guy up" (even though he had promised to "knock my teeth down my throat"). "That guy you confronted last month? He hassled one of my officers so now I'm going to nail him". "Uh, sir, we don't ever use the word 'stupid" to describe student actions". Enough of that and many conscientious people who witness negative behavior first hand become hesitant to recommend action to the decision makers who are often shielded in their offices. But if the higher ups happen to be directly effected by miscreants, they make haste to deal with it alright. Maybe this disconnect was a factor.
