I predict a surge in Vanguard investment $ over the next 60-days. I am sure their CEO will send the little shithead a thank you note in July.

But, Hogg is not satisfied with these auxiliary options and is encouraging his 764,000 followers to boycott holding groups like Vanguard and BlackRock.

How can you boycott something you never use? His "followers" idea of investment is starting a Go Fund Me page or holding a bake sale in front of evil Wal-Mart.

Did anything come of the prior allegation that Hogg wasn't even in school at the time of the shooting? The media keeps identifying him as a "survivor" of the shooting. I guess by their standard, I'm a "survivor" also. I was only 1,160 miles away.

Amazing in his own mind, perhaps. I think he's a dolt and an idiot, who should go back into his parents' basement.

He’s getting absolutely crucified in that thread too. All his pathetic followers can do is squawk about “bots”, their latest tactic to try and shut down any oppposing voices.

https://hotair.com/archives/20...ted-promise-program/

Broward County’s PROMISE program (which stands for Preventing Recidivism through Opportunities, Mentoring, Interventions, Supports & Education) coincides with higher levels of violent crime among juveniles, even as levels of such crime have been falling statewide.

Broward County adopted the PROMISE program in 2013 at the urging of the Obama Education Department

Broward County now has the highest percentage of “the most serious, violent [and] chronic”juvenile offenders in Florida, according to the county’s chief juvenile probation officer…

Within two years of adopting the discipline reforms, Broward’s juvenile recidivism rate surged higher than the Florida state average.

Prosecutors and probation officers complain that while overall juvenile arrests are down, serious violent crimes involving school-aged Broward youths – including armed robbery, kidnapping and even murder – have spiked, even as such violent crimes across the state have dropped.

After Broward schools began emphasizing rehabilitation over incarceration, fights broke out virtually every day in classrooms, hallways, cafeterias and campuses across the district. Last year, more than 3,000 fights erupted in the district’s 300-plus schools, including the altercations involving Cruz. No brawlers were arrested, even after their third fight, and even if they sent other children to the hospital.

Federal data show almost half of Broward middle school students have been involved in fights, with many suffering injuries requiring medical treatment.

Because the students involved in the fights are considered “mutual combatants,” administrators tell parents they cannot be referred to police under the new discipline code.

The report notes that one year after Broward adopted the PROMISE program it dropped questions from an annual survey asking students if they felt safe in the classroom. The following year, 2015, they discontinued the survey entirely after 21 years.

Max Eden of the Manhattan Institute points out, “Sheriff Israel can boast that arrests are down in Broward County [but] that tends to happen when you stop arresting.”

Broward County Superintendent Robert Runcie said recently that discussing the program was just a conservative diversion from “common sense” gun reform.

Horseplop. It's just the opposite.
discussing “common sense” gun reform is just a diversion from your own failures.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Anthony Borges, the teenager who took five bullets while blocking a doorway during Nikolas Cruz’s murderous rampage through Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February, became the first victim in the case to file a lawsuit.

Alex Arreaza, the Borges family’s attorney, filed the suit electronically in Broward Circuit Court on Tuesday morning. The defendants are Cruz, 19, the estate of Cruz’s late mother, Lynda, and James and Kimberly Snead, the Parkland couple who allowed Cruz to stay in their home from late November until Feb. 14, the day of the shooting.

Also named in the suit are Henderson Behavioral Health, the Jerome Golden Center for Behavioral Health and the South County Mental Health Center, three facilities that treated Cruz for various mental health conditions.

The lawsuit charges Cruz with assault and battery, while the remaining parties are charged with negligence.

Lynda Cruz died of pneumonia on Nov. 1, leaving Nikolas and his brother, Zachary, without parents — their father died in 2004. Zachary Cruz moved in with Rocxanne Deschamps, a family friend in Lantana. Nikolas Cruz stayed with her until the Sneads offered to take him in.

After the shooting, James Snead said he had previously made Cruz buy a locking gun safe to put in his room. At the time, Snead said he thought he had the only key, but later concluded that Cruz must have kept a copy for himself.

Attorneys for the Sneads and the mental health treatment centers could not be reached for comment immediately Tuesday.

It is not clear whether Cruz has much in the way of assets to offer the victims of the Parkland school shooting, which left 17 dead and 17 injured. Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer is still weighing whether he has enough money to pay for a private lawyer.

At a recent hearing, Cruz’s assets were listed at less than $26,000, with lingering questions about how much his late mother’s estate is worth.

Borges, who survived the shooting, is one of a handful of victims to indicate an intent to sue the Broward School Board and the Broward Sheriff’s Office for failing to protect the students of Stoneman Douglas. Arreaza has said he intends to focus that lawsuit on a school discipline agreement that he says codified a reluctance to turn problem students over to the criminal justice system.

State agencies are entitled to six months’ notice before lawsuits are filed, so the first litigation naming the school district and sheriff’s office as defendants are still months away.

Borges and fellow survivor Kyle Laman were the first to file notices of intent to sue those agencies. They were followed by survivors Elizabeth Stout and Fernanda Gadea.

But Cruz, his mother’s estate and the Snead family are not entitled to such notice, so Arreaza decided to file the Borges lawsuit Tuesday.

Going after those actually responsible, rather than inanimate objects. What a concept.

Reports: Broward Schools Sat On $100 Million Earmarked For School Safety

BY BUDDY NEVINS

Roughly $100 million that voters approved for school safety four years ago remains unspent, according to an investigation by a 19-year-old student.

No, the Sun-Sentinel’s investigative team didn’t discover this.

Neither did the School Board. Its members are elected to wisely spend tax money. Apparently they are more interested in seeing nothing, keeping their mouths shut and being reelected.

It was a 19-year old home-schooled high school senior who says he uncovered an uncomfortable truth — the failure to spend just under $100 million already approved for school safety.

When his findings couldn’t gain traction in Broward, he went to the national media.

But is it true?

Here is a very telling part of the story:

Superintendent Robert Runcie tried his best to squelch the report. If it was just a false narrative, why would Runcie and 10 of his subordinates spend their time trying to explain it away?


Robert Runcie: Coverup?


The story begins with a curious Broward resident — Kenneth Preston.

After the shootings at Marjory Stone Douglas High School, Preston became interested in school safety. He poured through public documents and interviewed officials about Broward’s track record on the issue.

“According to Preston, Runcie and the school board sat on most of the money granted by tax payers to keep schools safe, including Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. On February 14, 2018, former student Nikolas Cruz entered Stoneman Douglas and went on a shooting spree, killing 17 people and injuring another 17,” the conservative DML website reported this week.

“In his report, Preston points out that the board was given roughly $104,000,000 in public grants to secure the schools in 2014, but that as of 2018 only a small portion of the money had been spent. The total amount used to date is roughly $5,000,000. Thus, leaving nearly $100 million unused,” DML continued.

The report was legitimate enough to be picked up by Sunshine State News, a website widely read by state muckety mucks and based in Tallahassee.

Preston wanted to tell the community about his findings.

Runcie and the School Board had other ideas.

After signing up to speak to the School Board, Preston was suddenly asked to meet with Runcie prior to the School Board meeting.

Preston claims he was denied permission to bring a lawyer or record the meeting with Runcie

Yet “Runcie showed up to the meeting with 10 school district representatives, making it an ambush-style meeting that lasted two-hours” in an attempt to squash the report, reports DML.

Browardbeat.com asks again:

Why 10 “school district representatives” and Runcie spend two hours trying to refute a 19-year-old’s report if it had no validity?

Preston spoke to the Board this week, but said he was forbidden from having others who agreed with him speak.

“The Board and superintendent who insist on a commitment to transparency have denied the voice of survivors and victims,” Preston said.

For Preston, the public schools system’s coverup and lack of honesty is a new experience. For any parent or journalist, its an old story.

The money for school safety was part of the $800 million bonds approved by voters in 2014. The promise from Runcie was that the schools would be renovated and made safe.

Many schools are still waiting for needed repairs. Now Preston charges that the safety money is unspent, too.

Preston’s report is linked here.

And below are Preston’s comments to the School Board this week. Broward voters need to see this and ask why these allegations are not getting more attention from the other media and the School Board

Broward voters need to know the truth, not spin, Mr. Runcie.

Wow. Kenneth Preston spoke to the school board a week ago, and this is the first we are hearing about it?
... and what he is saying is far more relevant than what Hogg Hitler is saying...

Seven elementary school students cut their wrists with blades from pencil sharpeners. This is from an article reporting the incident:

Not making that up.

So scary gunz are the scapegoat......color me shocked.

A step in the other direction


Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe has banned his office from conducting business with any company involved in a boycott of the NRA.
He enacted the prohibition earlier this month but news surrounding it just became public this week.

The Washington Examiner reports Slupe sent everyone in his office an order which said, “Though I cannot dictate which companies you utilize in your personal life, I can and am going to dictate which companies the Butler County Sheriff’s Office will not use.” He stressed that companies boycotting the NRA are not to be used “when making arrangements for any extradition or stay over [being scheduled].”

On February 24, 2018, Breitbart News reported that over a dozen companies cut ties with the NRA in reaction to post-Parkland gun control campaigns. Those companies included:

First National Bank of Omaha
Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Symantec
Metlife
Delta Airlines
United
Best Western

Sheriff Slupe reacted to the boycotts by saying, “These companies made the choice to boycott the NRA for whatever their reason(s) are, so, I am making the choice not to support them. I believe it is important to send a message as a department that we support the members of our community that are members of the NRA that have had nothing to do with any of the shootings, yet they are the face of the blame in the eyes of corporate America.”

Here is one little peek into the lame brains of the high school kids who continue to protest against guns. Yesterday a group of them gathered at the White House. One of their speakers, Ian Berlin, let drop this gem:"“No amendment is absolute. Your right to a gun does not supersede my right to graduate high school.”

Ian thinks he has a right to graduate high school. Stupid as he is, he is lucky to have made it out of elementary school.

This article is just full of quoted wisdom like Ian's. Here is one more:

"Another teen, Micaela Lattimer, 17, and a junior at Long Reach High School in Columbia, Maryland, said the anti-gun movement must be “intersectional” — a decades-old feminist social theory that “asserts that people are often disadvantaged by multiple sources of oppression: their race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and other identity markers.”

“Intersectionality recognizes that identity markers (e.g. “female” and “black”) do not exist independently of each other, and that each informs the others, often creating a complex convergence of oppression.”

So, you know, uh, ban guns.

The only thing those pieces of garbage are missing is their Hitler Youth arm bands. Fuck them.

I wonder how much money the left is paying the parents for the privilege of abusing their children? Disgusting.

From you that is harsh invective indeed. I guess we are on the same wavelength here about mama hogg's little pestilence, I'd just say it with more...feeling.

I'm interested to see where this is going...hopefully this POS is headed for the door!

This is what happens when you skip school to be a tool of progressive-anti-gun media.

Actually, my right to a gun does supersede your non-existent right to graduate high school. For starters, my right to a gun is an enumerated right in the Constitution. There is no right to an publicly-funded education in the Constitution, much less a right to a high school diploma. But maybe you would have known that, if only you'd stayed in class.
