March 24th will be the “March for Our Lives,” an ostensibly nationwide demonstration led by student survivors of the Mary Stoneman Douglas school shooting in order to demand new gun laws. Traumatized young people pushing (or being used to push) a progressive agenda is too good to ignore for some Hollywood liberals.
Cameron Kasky, an 11th grader from the Florida school tells ABC News, “People keep asking us, ‘What about the Stoneman Douglas school is going to be different, because this has happened before and change hasn't come?’ This is it… People are saying that it’s not time to talk about gun-control. And we can respect that. Here’s a time. March 24th in every single city. We are going to be marching together as students begging for our lives.”
This campaign has received support from huge Hollywood names. Justin Bieber tweeted his solidarity with the kids, saying, “All of your bravery is amazing. I stand with you guys.” Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams endorsed the movement and slammed adults who disagree, stating, “[I] never want to hear another adult talk condescendingly about millenials/young ppl ever again. Face the hopeful, intelligent, unwavering presence of your future leaders of America.”
Fellow musician St. Vincent chimed in, saying, “These Florida teenagers speaking truth to power are giving me all the hope right now.” And gun-grabbing hypocrite Julianne Moore slammed congressmen, tweeting, “Students will create a ‘badge of shame’ for politicians who take money from the NRA. #MarchForOurLives.”
Moore’s big into holding other people responsible for violence. Herself and her movies, not so much.
These high schoolers have also inspired donations from Hollywood moguls as well. George and Amal Clooney have pledged $500,000 to the March for Our Lives. George affirmed that “Our family will be there on March 24 to stand side by side with this incredible generation of young people from all over the country, and in the name of our children Ella and Alexander, we’re donating 500,000 dollars to help pay for this groundbreaking event. Our children’s lives depend on it.”
But really, are these celebrities fooling anyone? Hasn’t America seen that they don’t practice what they preach? They claim to fear guns, but their phony big-screen antics revolve around trigger-happy moments, shoot-em-ups and various other bloodbaths.
Still, what could be more convincing to the world than sad, vulnerable kids standing up to the big, bad NRA? (And what better way to make conservatives out to be child-hating, pro-murderous bigots?) No doubt, the left has found a powerful new tool, ahem, inspiration for gun-control propaganda.
