Hope for the future
Watching Wednesday night’s news coverage, I was overwhelmed by Rachel Maddow’s interview with the three young women students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and their roles in the “March For Our Lives” events throughout our country.
These young women’s articulate, discerning and passionate declaration for action to resolve our national tragedies of school shootings and our seeming inability to address gun control measures were humbling and a wake-up call for action.
Thank you for reminding us that there are bigger issues than ourselves. I can’t wait for you to come of voting age because it seems that we “adults” have lost sight of our responsibilities to our country.

Clinton a role model
I thought Kathleen Parker had reformed under the destructive presidency of Donald Trump, but I see by the column, “Hillary, just stop. Please” (March 16, Tribune-Herald), that she is ruining her recently restored reputation as a journalist by woman-bashing.
Did you have to publish this in the middle of Women’s History Month?
Hillary Rodham Clinton is a role model for so many of us: the first woman candidate for presidency nominated by a major political party, secretary of state, senator and first lady.
She has and continues to be a model for us about how to go on gracefully after various life challenges and disappointments.

Do better
I was shocked to see students laughing and standing on the very edge of a busy road waving signs at Waiakea Intermediate during a school day (on March 14).
It didn’t look much like a protest, but more a fun excuse to leave class, with no thought to the safety and welfare of these youth.
Puainako Street is a very busy road, and one inerrant driver could have easily been distracted and taken out a bunch of these children.
The “adults” at this school need to be held accountable. How could they allow this?
If I had a child at this school, I would be livid. What I do not understand is why the students couldn’t protest in their play field or patio area, as most schools did.
Also, did the students understand the gravity of what happened in Parkland or their own safety in the moment? It didn’t appear so.
Educators, you can do better than this.

Mr. Grigsby, Please tell us specifically what “actions” these young women called for, and then offer us the evidence that those actions would be “effective”.
Because if they merely parroted the talking points of the “March for Our Lives” propaganda arm of the “Women’s March” funded by Bloomberg et al., we already know that those bans, etc. will have no effect on crime, as even Obama’s own CDC executive-ordered report concluded.
But, please, tell us. Or was it just more of the “do something” vagaries?
The end of political do nothings has begun with these kids.
They will be your next congressman, senators and even POTUS.
PS. it’s too bad slime shit fuck wads like you were not just sucked out of your whore slut mothers “vagaries”

Keep propping up your fellow homo messiah.
I have no problems propping up the homosexual or any other human.
As for your messiah comment I have more respect for my shit in the toilet bowl.
“I have no problems propping up the homosexual”
I am sure you do not. Have a job as a “fluffer” in homo porn films?
Actually, the occupation of “fluffer” originated long long before gay porn films.
Yeh, it started in straight porn, you know, the place you go after church on Sunday after you drop off the wife and kids and tell them you love them?
Or maybe watch when your with the “mistress” cheating on your wife and children’s mother?

Speaking of your favorite “fluffer”

Got that right you fucking rag headed piece of fucking shit!!!
That is your messiah and fellow homo Øbozo
ram the “messiah” part up your ass!
Now as for being my fellow homo, while I am not a homosexual, I have no issues with homosexual people.
I am happy you finally admit that you are indeed gay, but have some sympathy that you are continually discriminated against, especially by those idiots who believe in “messiahs!”

Satan loves his Conservative Children, in America they pretend to believe in God, in the Middle East, they pretend to believe in Allah…..but they are brothers…they are children of Satan, and they fool no one…..We were given Free Will, and we use it to determine our Eternity…..you will descend to your eternity, and you have only yourself to blame, because you ignored the Teachings of Christ.

Here is a sign all opponents to the 2nd Amendment should have outside their houses, so they can show the world where they stand against firearms and the right to own firearms.
If they are indeed so proud of being anti-2nd Amendment then they should make it public knowledge where they live. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eef405e53b11aa707980e5c796848b178bc5e4ebb1435763c819e44c1b03c71d.jpg

Students being brainwashed to accept the murdering of thousands of tiny children everyday in America and while also being brainwashed to destroy our 2nd Amendment in which the end result the common people will have no protection from a possible https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/93e24656f71b1d5229c5448b46725ce2c56acf4791a8a554a56d0a300551b8ec.jpg tyrannical government, which was the very purpose of the 2nd Amendment by our Founding Fathers.
SO YOU WANT THOSE BABIES TO GROW UP SO A PERSON LIKE YOU CAN SHOOT THEM WHILE THEY ARE LEARNING MATH?
You will leave this earth with a rictus of horror stretched across your face. Realization will dawn on you as you descend, and you will finally know what happens to those who lived the opposite of what Christ taught.
