Parkland Middle School student hit, killed on Loop 375 after leaving campus during walkout

No one said that so stop lying. There is a reality that despite security and attempts to keep students in school some will accomplish not going or getting out of school. Every school, including the parkland school, is fenced in with a couple of access points monitored by security and the students who protested were organized by staff and not permitted to walk home. It does not mean there are not those who used the protests as a distraction to walk home, and this student certainly was not protesting as they did not join the protesting students who did not walk home.

Do stop the lying.

 

The NRA's message never resulted in anyone dying.

David "Lil Hitler" Hogg, the Parkland Pukes, and the DNC anti-gun crusade drove this kid out of school and to his death.

 

More intellectual deficient clap trap. The kid decided to skip out, and crossed a crowded freeway to his death. Nobody drove him out except his stupid friends to took him with them.

 

This kid was killed emulating David "Lil Hitler" Hogg, the Parkland Pukes, and the DNC anti-gun crusade.

Their rhetoric got a kid killed.

 

No, what's intellectually deficient is to rob these children of learning time and to put them in a position where they possibly yes could get killed. Hey, I hate to be the one to paint a fatalistic picture but what's the sense of the walkouts when you're safer inside of a school as opposed to the outside world where any maniac with a gun might exist?

Yeah, I went there. That's not how I want to look at the world, but it's a realistic possibility in the US today. The walkouts only encourage danger, not safety.

 

So you would be perfectly fine with the protest as long as it did not involve walking out of class? Somehow I doubt that.

 

Maybe this kid should have been protesting something that kills far more people than guns.

The automobile!

Unfortunately the left had successfully brainwashed the child who is now dead.

 

News flash for you. This kid emulated his stupid friends sneaking off of school ground then crossing across a busy freeway and got hit by a truck. That is what got him killed. Of course, the RW swamp jumped on his death to spread their propaganda.

 

Right. As if no school kids ever sneak out of school....at all.

 

The school paved the way for them to leave class where nobody would look for them. Jumping a fence is easy. They couldn't have left unnoticed without their absence being excused by school admin.

 

So what?? You act as though truancy isn't a problem? You act as though kids won't just skip class and go off school grounds. I've seen plenty of it in my time in school.

 

You were right to doubt, since I never voiced support for the 'protests'. I'm a believer(based on my own experiences) that the time you get in school is invaluable, and far more valuable than any protest. The time they wasted was time they could've used to refine their minds as they seek to position themselves in the 21st century.

 

I ditched my share of school, but the school never excused my absence without me forging a note or coming up with a school related excuse. They let these 5th or 6th graders out of class unsupervised near a busy highway. Is that something their parents should be good with?

 

Not relevant to this discussion.

The school didn't let anybody do anything. The kids ditched school, that's on them.

Is his parents ok with him and his friends crossed a busy highway?? Why don't you blame his parents for not teaching him properly?? You on the right always talk about responsibility until you decide it doesn't fit your narrative. Here's the thing - how do you know this kid and his friends didn't do this kind of thing before (crossing a freeway), but have been lucky up until this point.

 

Blah blah RW fever swamp blah blah.

Kid wouldn't have been out of school if he hadn't been emulating David "Lil Hitler" Hogg, the Parkland Pukes, and the DNC anti-gun crusade.

And if he wasn't out of school he wouldn't have been killed.

The "Goosestep to strip our freedoms" crowd caused this death by spreading a trend that encourages kids to run wild free of supervision.

 

The school let them leave class with no consequences. They dropped the ball and need to be held responsible for their negligence. Are they going to let the 3rd graders leave next?

 

People talk about 'freedom, freedom' as though we should be unleashed without any responsibility. This tragic death is an example of what happens when freedom is taken to its extreme conclusion. Rules and regulations, annoying as they are are there to protect everyone, including the 11 year old kid. Had he the knowledge of that, he would've lived.

The tragedy is that no one else in that building had the same understanding.

 

Oh?? Perhaps his parents never told him he should never try to cross a freeway, he would have lived. Or perhaps they've told him, but he chose to listen to his friend instead and is cost him his life.

 

LOL....no consequences?? Had he lived, he would have served time in detention for leaving school ground without permission.

 

Blah blah blah....you lack logic, and it truly shows. Go ahead and embarrass yourself further. You are truly clueless when it comes to the issue of truancy. It's truly pathetic that you and your ilk use this kid's death as a political tool to further your agenda. I guess I always knew that your "thoughts and prayers" are all faked.

 

While the actions of the idiot were clearly his own, it was only possible under the environment festered: The political 'protests' using students, taking them away from precious learning time and FOR WHAT? Politicians are no more or less likely to sign gun control legislation just because you're taking kids out of a classroom.

To me, there's no defending this stupidity and now it inadvertently cost a life. So you have to ask yourselves: Is this worth it? It's not. Adults have way more political power, call your senator/representative on gun control legislation. Protect our children from being used as pawns like in some tinpot dictatorship.

 

Sorry but those two sentences contradict each other. I seriously doubt this is their first time trying to cross the freeway. This time, one of them suffer. You can't legally blame it on the school. They are only responsible for kids while on school ground, not off. We shall see if any greedy lawyers will convince the parents to file suit.

 

When temporary custody is granted to the school, they are their legal guardians. Of course they are going to file suit(and win handsomely and easily at that.) Maybe the result/consequences of that action will put a stop to this tragedy in our public school system. It's already performing poorly without political interference.

And those sentences don't contradict each other. If the "protests" never happened, there's no "reason" for the child to leave the school bounds. And if they attempted, someone would've questioned/stopped them well before they got to the freeways.

Which brings us to the end game: This is stupid, we told you it was stupid. And we predicted an outcome like this, because we knew it's stupid. It's sad that it's going to take this child's life, but now even a bleeding heart Liberal parent will see a negative consequence to this grandstanding stupidity.

 

You and the rest of the RWers on this thread clearly lack logic. You aren't very well aware that schools send notices home letting parents know about the walk out and they can opt out. But his parents probably did not. Furthermore if this kid didn't know any better than to cross the freeway, he will be dead sooner or later (and you wouldn't give it two wits, except then you and the rest of the RWers only would have called him a stupid millennial snowflake).

You haven't predict shyt and the protest is only "stupid" in your eyes because you disagree with it and now you grandstand with your fake outrage at this kid's death. Not once on this thread have you and your ilk feel bad for his parents, and you specifically chose to call the kid an idiot instead.

 

^ Leave it to a partisan Democrat to laugh about an 11 year old child killed in an accident.
