This crime at Social Security might amount to the biggest data theft in human history. Committed by a government against its own citizens. I donโt think anyone has begun to grasp the sheer scale of corruption and institutional destruction that has occurred in the last few months. Era-defining.

"There was gunpowder on my neck." A 10 yo who said the bullets went right past him. MEDIA- PAY ATTENTION. YOU DO NOT PUT A CHILD WHO HAS "Gunpowder on his neck." On TV to win a rating. NO. NO. NO. SHAME ON YOU. There is no excuse for putting a traumatized CHILD on TV.

Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.

And then the media putting those same children on broadcast news to talk about their experience hours after the mass shooting at their school. What are we even doing America?!
