Parkland survivor David Hogg went on Twitter on May 20, telling the media to stop identifying the 17-year-old suspected Santa Fe gunman and other school shooters.

In a tweet, Hogg said he didn’t know the name of the shooter and didn’t want to, before asking others to call out news organizations that continued to name the shooters with the hashtag #NoNotoriety.

“I don’t know the shooter's name and don’t want to. If you agree, anytime you see a post with their name or face from news organizations post #NoNotoriety with one of the victim’s names,” Hogg wrote. “We make these sick people known worldwide for their horrifying acts, let’s stop that!”

Mentioning the shooter takes attention away from Hogg.

I wanna talk about me,
wanna talk about I,
wanna talk about number one,
oh my me my
what I think,
what I like,
what I know,
what I want,
what I see
I like talking about you, you, you, you usually
but occasionally
I wanna talk about me

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Did he bump his head or something?  Did he really actually say something that makes sense?

His parents finally learned how to iMessage and hijacked his account.

Yes, let us get the public indoctrinated to the idea that evil black guns just fire into crowds of helpless innocent people all by themselves.

Will make it easier to get people to agree to bans and confiscations.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I suspect that's the hidden truth in what the little emo has to say on the subject.  To Hogg, the evil face of the crime looks like a shotgun, not the face of a maniacal kid wearing an ugly trench coat.

Sure.  Let's stop identifying the shooter...as soon as the media stops calling Hogg a "survivor." 

No, the shooters should be identified as well as their parents and those who most likely overlooked mental illness and allowed these kids access to firearms.

While many agree with Hogg on this point (including Ben Shapiro), I would caution that his comment really is just another example of how this little twerp believes life works - or should work in his fascist paradise where guns are seized and free speech is denied. Namely, he believes someone just like him or some other statist should be able to control the news media and what people are permitted to hear. That's why I refer to him as Joe Goebbels, Jr.
