Students across King County rallied at the Seattle City Hall Plaza with a message to the governor: "Washington Governor Inslee, call a special session and ban all semi-automatic rifles."
Syd Walter, a 17-year-old senior at Nova High School in Seattle, said she has had enough.
"I am terrified of going to school," Walter said.
Walter said these are some of the questions that constantly run through her mind while at school: "Is that person going to shoot me today? Am I OK to sit in this auditorium? Will there be a bullet that pierces my neck? Am I safe? If not, do I know where to hide? Do I know how to play dead? Will I be able to smear my classmate's blood on myself to make myself look dead?”
Students are also demanding for more mental health professionals, one for every 200 students across all Seattle Public Schools. They want the professionals to also reflect the student body in terms of race, gender, and sexuality.

The problem with these liberal students is that they are a bunch of spineless pussy's. They have no idea of the sacrifices that their forefathers suffered to get them the right to protest, with guns. If we got into another war would these snowflake pussy's have enough guts to join the fight? I doubt it. When I was 18 The country saw fit to send me to a foreign land with a gun to kill the enemy. I wasn't crazy about it but I did it, while a bunch of cowardly students protested. Thank God for the people who answered the call and didn't piss and moan about it.

Thank you. The original post really annoyed me. Those protesters are the reason I served. Of all the rights specifically granted in the Bill of Rights, freedom of speech and freedom to lawfully assemble are the most important (in my opinion) to the average person.

SPC Lyle Montgomery - and SFC Kelly Fuerhoff especially: please note Kelly, that no one voted you down for your opinion that you're entitled to. That said, I agree with Lyle, EXCEPT for his vulgar terms; but kids today ARE so much more likely to be "wimpish," due to, I think, their adult role models (teachers, parents, NEWS MEDIA, et al).
Given that the article highlights Seattle students, it's pretty much a sure bet that they are indeed inclined to be, "liberal." The whole state for the most part is; at least politically.
Now, I'll take some HUGE exception to your comment about Vietnam, and "those students who protested," being the "smart ones." As I recollect, most of them were filty hippy, dope smoking draft dodgers and college deferred rich kids for the most part. The college deferrments - I have no real problem with, but when deferred for college, while your fellow same age group volunteers or gets drafted, your lack of support for them stinks. Keep in mind, demonstrations are one thing - and is a RIGHT under our Constitution; but spitting on returning GI's, throwing bags of shit at them, calling them baby killers, etc ... no - NO RIGHT to do any of that! I do believe that's who SPC Lyle Montgomery (also) had in mind.

They only need to go to their "safe space." Better yet, graduate and join the military where they'd be around guns constantly and not have to worry. Spoiled brats who are used to having the tail wag the dog.
