maybe no one is being paid by foreign leftist globalists to organize this march.

I don’t know what they want, and I doubt they do either.
The solution to school shootings is and either or thing. Either you harden up the soft target with armed teachers or cops, or you forcibly remove all guns from American citizens. Which do you think would be easier to do? And yet, the Left hates the first and only achievable option. The second option would cause civil war, but that’s what they keep pushing for.

Sounds like a comment from the very late 60s when "kids" were protesting something else. They knew then and they know now.

Those kids ruined America, destroyed family, gave rise to feminazis and 54 genders.

Hmmmm.....OP posts about KTLA which is a Los Angeles news station. Your picture somehow doesn't look anything like Downtown LA. http://ktla.com/2018/03/24/demonstrators-gather-for-march-for-our-lives-in-dtla-call-for-end-to-gun-violence-in-schools/

Don’t forget:
1)outsourced the economy,
2) pumped house prices to unaffordable levels for their kids so they’d be wealthier,
3)started a bunch of wars that got their kids killed and maimed,
4)over spent national and state budgets so their kids would be saddled with debt forever,
5)spiked pensions for themselves their kids would have to pay later,
And 6) called their kids losers for not achieving the American Dream by 25.

But yah, hang your hat on some dirty hippies.

Crowded Street.

So these guns go off by themselves? Ban guns!!!

I love the disconnect. Bezos Blog is doing a live minute-by-minute promotion of this silly march by Professional Activists.

Here is evidence it was pretty damn small - the LA Times says "Thousands". FYI the LA Unified School District, not counting the burbs, has 640,000 students. So maybe 1%, and of course many marchers are adult Left Wing Militants.

What is that even? According to the image meta data, that picture was taken on "12/13/06".

WTF?

This is what I was seeing on the live stream and so were the reporters. Complete emptiness, a total failure of a march.

If you want to see what is happening in Washington, etc - lots and lots of people. Don't let L.A. be the sole basis that people are not marching.

There are no shortages of people marching - none.

I'm not saying LA is my sole basis, but D.C shouldn't be your sole basis either.

D.C is 80%+ Trump haters, and where Soros and his buddies spent most of their money bussing people in for the protest.

In L.A, where they didn't spend as much of their cash bussing people in, you didn't have much support.

This photo is Washington DC. Goran_K's article title clearly said "March for our Lives LA projected crowd: 60,000, Actual crowd: < 5000"

For you to dispute the <5000 in LA by using a crowd shot of DC to imply a huge crowd in LA hurts credibility.

Maybe you meant "The LA crowd may have been small, but look at DC."

So what are they actually marching for?

I tried to watch a bit of the Communist News Network to see what the solutions these Special Snowflakes were proposing.

I saw a lot of video clips full of Tag lines, slogans, punch lines, false narratives, but I didn't hear a single one of these clueless kids actually spew a detailed suggestion on what they want done.

Quotes like "vote them out", "stop the violence", "defeat guns", "we are the change", "guns don't die, children do", "NRA kills", etc.

What the Fuck.. Nothing but brainwashed Zombies.

Busted!

Less than 1% of people. Guys we get bigger crowds when janitorial labor unions roll through down town asking for increase in minimum wages. And most of them don't even speak English.

Got to say liberals are trying hard to organize something that very few agree with. It's what I've been saying about the left, they are loud as hell but only represent about 1% to 2% of the entire nation.

Sad, the price of that poster board is higher than their combined IQs:


The power of Liberal kool-aid.

please keep me safe? Honey, let me take you to Firing Line for a few hours and I’ll teach you how to keep yourself safe.

It's absolutely a mental health issue.

The problem is Liberals can't confront their past incredible failure and human rights violation of ending public hospitalization of the severely mentally ill.

They still want to believe that Society is Crazy, and People aren't Crazy.

HEYYOU says

passing a law that abolished involuntary hospitalization of people struggling with mental illness.

You think a Doctor should have authority to take your freedom away and force treatment upon you? Ya, no thanks

HEYYOU says

"He made similar decisions while he was the governor of California, releasing more than half of the state’s mental hospital patients and passing a law that abolished involuntary hospitalization of people struggling with mental illness. This started a national trend of de-institutionalization."

Wrong. It was Liberals.
1967.
http://www.lacourt.org/division/mentalhealth/MH0017.aspx

End the inappropriate, indefinite, and involuntary commitment of persons with mental health disorders, developmental disabilities, and chronic alcoholism, and to eliminate legal disabilities
Provide prompt evaluation and treatment of persons with mental health disorders or impaired by chronic alcoholism
Guarantee and protect public safety
Safeguard individual rights through judicial review
Provide individualized treatment, supervision, and placement services by a conservatorship program for persons who are gravely disabled
Encourage the full use of all existing agencies, professional personnel and public funds to accomplish these objectives and to prevent duplication of services and unnecessary expenditures
Protect persons with mental health disorders and developmental disabilities from criminal acts

Apparently, by releasing mentally ill people on to the street, trusting crazy people to voluntarily show up and get their meds, actually results in them just being crazy and alcoholic on the streets.

We went maybe from making it too easy, to making it so difficult that under Florida's rough equivalent, the Baker Act, it's almost impossible to forcibly hospitalize somebody.

Cruz had 30+ interactions with police, and many more with school authorities, the latter of whom wanted to Baker Act him but the Administrators couldn't be arsed, one because they're lazy, two they're risk averse, and three it's damned difficult and too easily the subject of a lawsuit.

If you want to Free The Crazy, the tradeoff is mass violence, poop in the street, many more homeless and drug addicts and petty crimes.

You can show your humanity by liberating them from the Santarium's bland food in the cafeteria to die from a drug overdose, or a beating by fellow homeless, or simply freezing in a gutter.

There is no Golden Third Way where they come in voluntarily for regular pill dispensation and a conversation with Dr. Mosby, while living a normal life. That's a fantasy. Most are severely mentally ill or brain damaged and they just are going to disappear onto the street. No 72-hour evalutation is going to get the mix of pills right, going to provide them with human contact that will last them weeks into the future, nor keep them from wandering the street at all hours.

If Kids who shoot their neighbor's animals, threaten to kill people, throw chairs throught windows, brag about being a professional school shooter, and call the police begging to be hospitalized, can't be forcibly hospitalized, accept school shootings or crazed subway stabbings or EATING FACE on a bridge, as a way of life.

The switch in the late 60s/70s from beautiful urban landscapes to hellholes of poopy streets and drug addicts is directly related to the change in the Mental Health Laws.

HEYYOU says

law that abolished involuntary hospitalization of people struggling with mental illness

That was a good thing. When you give someone lots of money to involuntarily stick people for pretend diseases into asylums, sooner or later they'll start making up diseases and sticking normal people into institutions. Reagan got this one right.

There is a solution to homelessness, but not by our left wing Democratic government that stupidly builds shelters for them, while hobos don't want to be in shelters. Funny how "freedom" works.

The release of the mentally impaired from institutions was also fostered by the legal system, who saw the mentally ill as a source of captive sympathy "clients" that could be used to sue anybody for the slightest infractions for secondary gain.

They released the gov and the institutions from liability by closing the facilities and releasing the inmates. Thanks, legal system. Overnight, the streets of California were filled with raving whackos.

You got it - That's literally what happened, and Ground Zero was San Jose

The fourth and final ingredient was the passage of the Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) act in 1967 by the California State legislature. The LPS act ended the inappropriate, indefinite and involuntary commitment of mentally disordered persons to institutions and encouraged the full use of existing agencies, personnel and funds to provide treatment, supervision and placement of gravely disabled persons. The authors of the LPS act envisioned an expanded system of community based mental health centers providing appropriate and timely support to those in need at a reduced cost to the State.

The LPS act was fully implemented into law in 1969. The release of thousands of individuals into the community from the State’s asylums and institutions began in 1970 and continued throughout the decade. One example vividly illustrates what it was like and what would happen in communities, large and small, across the State. Over 3800 mentally ill people were released from Agnews State Hospital on June 30, 1972 into the San Jose area. This resulted in the creation of a “mental health ghetto” overnight as various service providers converted vacant buildings and abandoned fraternity houses into board and care homes.Between 1969 and 1970, California counties would be required to provide mental health services to over 45,000 inpatients and 120,000 outpatients. While the authors of the legislation thought they were improving lives, what they actually did was release thousands of ill, confused and vulnerable individuals into communities that were simply unprepared to provide the services and support envisioned.

And made landlords very rich by redirecting all that public health spending and SSI Checks for the disabled from professional, high quality institutions with excellent facilities, 24-7 medical care and on-staff professionals (including MDs and RNs), to halfway houses with a single LPN or SJW trying to coral a dozen crazy people.

They went from focussed liability to distributed liability. A lot harder to wring money from a large number of piddling half way houses scraping by on checks thrown at them by the government than Agnew's State Hospital. I remember the screamers and hallucinators winding up in Berkeley, to add to the already colorful milieu.

Easier I would think. Slum Lords rent those places to NGOs for a pretty penny; you can't charge rent on a slummy building to a State Hospital with it's own grounds and facilities. And instead of one economy-of-scale food and pharma contract, you now are paying more to a diverse bunch of suppliers.

Liberals are now showing that skin headed chick (that is a girl right?) on every news outlet they own. Left wing propaganda full swing.

You’re assuming CNN isn’t current employment.

Anyways CNN should now have no credibility whatsoever considering they’ve sold overseas branch’s to the governments of the Philippines and Turkey.

Liberals were once Democrats and the 1st amendment defenders to the death. I’d love to see those past Democrats defend CNN as unbiased news reporters now.

The general costs of operating the main hospitals/facilities was enormous and increasing even without the liability, along the lines of usual government efficiency. There were a lot of milkers who killed the cow. The state wanted a specific limited line item budget where they could mail the checks and walk away.

Santa Cruz is installing a huge tent as a shelter for the streets overflowing with druggie homeless and whackos. The police just recycle them back out as soon as they pick them up, hoping nobody notices that they commit several offenses a day on different turf after they are dropped off. The police are more of a "Homeless Uber" than an enforcement body. The liberal view that jails are horrible places and that police are a menace also keeps enforcement extraordinarily lenient. Many of the people recycled are multiple offenders on probation. They aren't even reported to their probation officers. If it weren't for "sanctuary" status, the police would spend all of their time corralling illegals and homeless. There would no time for legs up, coffee and donuts.

Of course, there are nominal rules that the homeless can't drink, smoke or use drugs in the shelters. Yeah, that's going to keep them there. However, it creates a lively Whacko Homeless Industrial Complex that is generating another ineffectual but self lobbying bureaucracy.
