I'm pretty sure all schools still consider 4.0 all "A"s, however...

If you take AP courses, you can raise your cumulative grade point average above a 4.0

Nobody did that when I was in high school.

It's one thing to be denied as an out-of-state student but, he also got wait-listed by...Univ of Central Florida. A middle of the road, in-state school, that academically doesn't come close to three of those UC's, has a 50% acceptance rate , and he got a 'may-be'. He's got a 4.2 GPA and was wait-listed by an in-state school...he must've fucked-up his entrance essay badly.

BREAKING: David Hogg Changes Story, Wasn’t At School When Cruz Opened Fire
By Peter D'Abrosca - Mar 26, 2018

In a not-yet-released CBS Documentary, David Hogg, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student who has become the face of the gun control movement, changes his entire story and admits that he was not at the school during the event.

In a Time interview done within hours of the shooting Hogg recounted, “Our first response was ‘that sounded a lot like a gun shot’ and we closed the door.” Hogg claimed that he was in his AP enviromental science class during the shooting. He also made videos of himself and other students, regarding gun control, purportedly while the shooting was going on.

But CBS News has released some transcripts from its “39 Days” documentary, in which student David Hogg is quoted.

“On the day of the shooting, I got my camera and got on my bike and rode as fast as I could three miles from my house to the school to get as much video and to get as many interviews as I could because I knew that this could not be another mass shooting,” Hogg said in his CBS News interview.

The shooting occurred in the afternoon, after alleged shooter Nikolas Cruz was dropped off after 2 PM.

“While I was in there, I thought, ‘What impact have I had? What will my story be if I die here? And the only thing I could think of was, pull out my camera and try telling others. As a student journalist, as an aspiring journalist, that’s all I could think: Get other people’s stories on tape. If we all die, the camera survives, and that’s how we get the message out there, about how we want change to be brought about,” Hogg recalled.

Watch David Hogg tell two different stories below:



Interesting. However, Hogg made some videos purportedly DURING the shooting from inside the school.

Here is Hogg’s interview with TIME magazine following the shooting in which he claimed that he was in his AP environmental science class at the time the shooting occured:

When Hogg heard a “pop” while sitting in an AP environmental science class around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, he told his teacher it sounded strangely like a gunshot. But there had been a fire drill that very morning and talk of a “Code Red” exercise to prepare for an active shooter. This must just be a surprise drill, he reasoned.

And then the fire alarm sounded. Dutifully acting on it, Hogg and other students tried to exit the building. A janitor—Hogg doesn’t know his name but calls him an angel—knew where the shots were coming from and sent the students back. Then a culinary arts teacher, Ashley Kurth, pulled Hogg and others inside, locked the door, and made them hide in a closet. Checking Twitter and Instagram, Hogg—who’s an editor at the school’s TV station—found the news that the shooting was real and ongoing.

The shots continued for what felt like an eternity. Hogg considered the possibility that he would not live to see the end of the day.

“While I was in there, I thought, ‘What impact have I had? What will my story be if I die here?’” Hogg told TIME in the hours following the ordeal. “And the only thing I could think of was, pull out my camera and try telling others. As a student journalist, as an aspiring journalist, that’s all I could think: Get other people’s stories on tape. If we all die, the camera survives, and that’s how we get the message out there, about how we want change to be brought about.”

TIME excerpt ends

Pretty big contradiction there.

Here is some of “student reporter” David Hogg’s interviews with his classmates, purportedly during the shooting. By the way, there is no way Hogg could have gotten into the school during the shooting, because the Broward County Sheriff’s Office set up a perimeter around the school during the shooting, all the while refusing to enter the school to stop the bloodshed.

Here is Hogg claiming to be inside the school during the shooting.



Here are Hogg’s interviews with his classmates, purportedly during the shooting:



Sheriff Scott Israel’s Broward County Sheriff’s Office made a concerted effort to not enter the Parkland high school during February’s mass shooting, instead allowing the shooting to happen.

The mainstream media is finally reporting on police and emergency scanner audio tapes that show the full extent of the Sheriff’s Office’s complicity in the horror at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

“Do not approach the 12 or 1300 building, stay at least 500 feet away,” Sheriff’s Office deputy Scot Peterson said over radio dispatch, disproving his claim that he didn’t go inside the school because he was ordered not to do so if he didn’t have body cameras on. School surveillance footage has still not been released, and is unlikely to ever be released.

Big League Politics first reported on audiotapes showing that the Sheriff’s Office set up a perimeter around the high school during the shooting, after learning that multiple people were shot dead inside the high school. The police dispatcher ordered police to “hold all perimeters” while the shooter was still at large. Thirty minutes after learning of the active shooter situation, the Sheriff’s Office was still holding its perimeter and dispatchers were reporting “The shooter is not down. The shooter is not down.”

Our reporting proved that Israel’s office lied by claiming that they only set up a perimeter around the school AFTER the shooting, not during the shooting. In fact, they set up a perimeter four minutes after learning that people were shot dead inside.

"Road." One more indicator that young Mr. Hogg [or someone from CBS news] should have actually been in school a bit more?

I'm trying to stay away from conspiracy shit, but here's the video....how can you be a "survivor" if you were not there?

4:25
[Video was here.]

Folks...

• CBS cut this video as part of a promotion for a documentary. As usual, totally disjointed comments are cut together for promotion purposes.
  
• In context, the little punk was referring to going back to the school about 6 p.m. - hours after the shooting - but on the same day.
  

So he was home early that evening and was watching the news. He got on his bike and headed to the school. Like any attention grabber, he wanted to get on camera and get national exposure. He also took video himself.

No, I can't prove or disprove - nor do I care to try - if the little punk was at the school at the time of the shooting.

Here is the second part of the story. CBS is absolutely aware the unintended consequences of that video edit is driving a conspiracy theory. They have no desire to clarify the clip or answer questions about the documentary which aired four days ago. As a matter of fact, the actual documentary (about 5 minutes in) has the same not in context edit. They did not clarify it or put it into context as they normally would for the full edit.

More actual context from The Right Scoop, and an interview the little punk did which was not on video.

Jen Kirby
The activism of you and your fellow students has created the sense that, in the wake of this mass shooting, there’s a chance things might be different. Why do you think that is?

Little Punk
Because of timing. At 6 pm after the shooting, I took my camera, got on my bike. I rode in basically twilight. And I ride my bike three miles down winding sidewalks and find my way to the school, as I’ve done in previous years. All the while, I was making sure my camera bag didn’t rip open, because if you zip it a certain way, the camera falls out, and it would be destroyed.

I start shooting B-roll, and I see Fox News over there. I knew I wanted to talk on the news and make sure there was advocacy, especially with so many people from the [National Rifle Association] and different gun-toting Americans who watch Fox News. I went on the day of [the shooting], and said, “There cannot be another mass shooting,” and I think that’s partially why. But also other people started saying that at the same time.

I’m looking at the school right now. You can see bullet holes in the windows. It’s insane, and the fact that there’s more bullet holes in those windows than bills that have been proposed and passed to save these kids’ lives is disgusting.

My polite suggestion is to avoid perpetuating this conspiracy theory BS. It will take you nowhere and it's exactly what the anti-2A crowd wants you to pay attention to. Instead, debate on the absurdity of their proposals and arguments.

It would be hilarious if Hogg couldn't get into the college of choice due to diversity quotas.

Same here. Again, there were advanced classes based on prior academic performance in school, but they counted just the same as the normals. The first time I encountered a reference to something above 4.0 or 100% I thought, “What?” Considering what a student in most schools has to accomplish these days to get a “perfect” result, I guess it was only logical that it was necessary to develop of a method of recognizing the above average.

Why go to school? He’s shown fully developed skills as a journalist already, and already knows everything.

Arrogance is not a unique ailment. I’ve spent more than 50 years trying to become as smart as I thought I was when I was 16. I finally gave up, and now settle for not being as dumb for the rest of my life as I was last week.

When I was middle aged, my dad overheard me say to a friend that my one remaining goal was to get to be as smart as I thought I was at 16, and he almost choked to death.
