Two weeks ago, Emma Gonzalez led the life of a typical high school senior. But after speaking out in an 11-minute speech at an anti-gun rally in Fort Lauderdale just two days after a former Marjory Stoneman Douglas student fatally shot 17 of her peers, she’s quickly become one of the country’s most visible gun violence prevention activists at just 18 years old.

During her speech, Gonzalez vowed that she, her classmates, their parents and teachers and her community wouldn’t stop fighting — they want to be the last mass shooting in America.

“We are going to be the kids you read about in textbooks,” she said. “Not because we’re going to be another statistic about mass shooting in America, but because … we are going to be the last mass shooting.”

3. She’s the girl who stood up to NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch at the CNN town hall.

Following her speech in Fort Lauderdale, Gonzalez also spoke at the CNN town hall with Dana Loesch, the NRA spokeswoman. She asked her about the organization’s stance on automatic weapons and bump stocks, and didn’t mince words in doing so.

“I want you to know that will we support your [Loesch’s] two children in a way that you will not,” she told her. As Loesch responded, jeers and boos from the crowd started to overwhelm the space. Gonzalez quieted them down, saying: “If I can’t hear her statement, I can’t come up with a rebuttal.” And when Loesch answered in a way Gonzalez felt was off-topic, Gonzalez stopped her and reminded her of the question at hand.

Give me a break.

Is the hairdo an expression of some non-gendered thing?

these kids are doing a worse & worse job of hiding the fact that they’re in this for fame & money & politics and don’t really give a shit about their dead classmates at all, at this point any adult who still buys this psyop is beyond all hope & contempt. what a sick f***ing joke

This tweeter was responding to a stupid meme this Gonzalez girl posted. The same tweeter also posted this. Please excuse language:

got this message from a friend of a parkland victim, posting it with his permission. the media, elites & their chosen group of well-connected strivers are trying to push an agenda & advance their own interests, but there are other voices out there, and they deserve to be heard

I read something last night indicating the drama club/activist crowd - juniors and seniors -probably didn't even know the slain kids, as the shooting took place in the freshmen building. Upperclassmen are at a completely separate part of the campus at that school, so there is little to no interaction between upperclassmen and freshmen. It's all theatre.

She looks like a gang member.

Can anyone explain to me how being at an event makes you a victim now? I watched a guy get mugged 20 years ago and I never considered myself the victim in that. The dead and wounded are victims here. Not some kids that made it out fine.

If she's a gang member, that would explain why she opposes the 2nd Amendment.

Well, you can't be both mugger and victim.  How much did you get?

I expect there will be a ticket of David Hogg and Emma Gonzales for POTUS and VP someday. I hope I'm dead by then because the Republic will be.

What does this even mean?

Emma "The Cuban Cueball" Gonzalez identifies as bisexual and is the current president of the gay–straight alliance at her high school. According to Vogue, Gonzalez's buzz cut is not a reaction to the school shooting. "People asked me, 'Are you taking a feminist stand'? No, I wasn't. It's Florida. Hair is just an extra sweater I’m forced to wear," Gonzalez recalled. "I even made a Powerpoint presentation to convince my parents to let me shave my head, and it worked.

What a dumbazz.

The spookiest one of these new celebs is the guy with the metrosexual haircut and blue shirt sitting to the left of her . I have seen him give a speech on youtube,and BOY is HE prepared!" No "uuuuhhhhh"s or "ahhhhh's" as he searches for the right word to say.  He sounds more like a 40 year old professional politician than a teenage boy.

Pure Stepford Child.

You just have to wonder how many students were running for that office when she won.
