Bill Murray Compares Parkland Students to Vietnam Protestors

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Bill Murray praised Parkland high schoolers for kickstarting a new push for gun control following the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February. Speaking with NBC News, the actor said the student protestors reminded him of the student protestors that began the movement to end the Vietnam War.

"It was the students who made all the news, and that noise started, and then the movement wouldn't stop," Murray said. "I think, maybe, this noise that those students in Florida are making – here, today – will do something of the same nature."

Murray touched on the fears and concerns many young people feel after each school shooting. "For children to be concerned about going to school, worried about what could happen to them at school, that makes for a horrible moment. It's just a horrible place for us to be at."

The actor noted that youth lent itself particularly well to spearheading such massive movements. "The thing that's so powerful about students is that, when you haven't had your idealism broken yet, you're able to speak from a place that has no confusion, where there is a clear set of values."

1. He is absolutely correct. The trumpsters just try to brush them away, but it won't work.

The shear numbers of high school students that will be able to vote this November is a pretty darned big number. Those, plus the ones that will be able to vote in 2020 should strike fear in the trumpsters. I said "should", but it won't. They are too ignorant to understand this fact.
