As I write, millions of people in Washington, D.C., and around the world led by survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre are Marching For Our Lives.
These young people now doing the work of their failed elders are, per Michelle Malkin in her March 16 PDN column (“Look homeward, change agents”), just having fun.
Malkin, a connoisseur of shame and blame this time spins it to pure evil.
“Sure, it’s fun to ditch your homework, parade around in ‘March For Our Lives’ swag, and watch your Twitter mentions explode like SpaceX launches …” in describing these young folks, just teenagers, who having witnessed inexplicable horror take that despair and use it in an attempt to create something useful, something positive.
A safer world, country, community, school.
Even just a reasonable dialogue.
One could surmise that Malkin is greatly offended that these young leaders achieved the national recognition they deserve so quickly when it’s taken her years of practice honing her specific brand of vituperative rhetoric to gain any attention.
Regardless, despite our years-long local exposure to her unwarranted, disgusting and offensive diatribes against any and all, she has finally crossed the line into immorality.
Shaming young survivors of a slaughter who dare to make something of it.
How dare she?
And so I ask of her and my favored community newspaper: Have you no sense of decency?
I beg you to wipe her vomit from your pages.
It serves no purpose.
