5 Times Parkland Shooting Survivors Were Falsely Criticized (Photos)

ParklandShootingSurvivorsfalsely.png

As the high school students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas in Parkland, Florida have increasingly pushed for change around gun control, including most recently in the March for Our Lives events around the country, they’ve become the victims of attacks and conspiracy theories by those who wish to discredit them and their cause

These five claims have been debunked as false, but it hasn’t stopped these images and claims from widely circulating on social media. (LINK)

Emma Gonzalez did NOT tear up a copy of the Constitution

An animated gif went viral showing Emma Gonzalez tearing up a copy of the U.S. Constitution. But the image, which was tweeted out by the Twitter feed “Gab” and later by   actor Adam Baldwin, was   doctored. The original image came from a video from a    Teen Vogue photoshoot   in which Gonzalez tears up a firing range target.

Actually  someone on NT tried to perpetrate that "alternative fact" (AKA a blatant lie )-- but it was quickly debunked by one of the better informed (and much more intelligent) NT user. (I won't mention any names...but I'm glad I did it! :-)

The glee with which some relished assassinating young survivor's character has been stunning... 

Then when it blew up in their face time and again they made it about themselves. Just stunning.

Here are the facts about 4 other hoaxes the mentally challenged tried to perpetrate (these are the "true facts",

" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> not the dishonest  "alternative facts") .

You can read all the details about each of these at the link to the original article :

David Hogg WAS on campus at the time of the shooting

David Hogg is NOT a “crisis actor”

Emma Gonzalez did NOT “bully” the Parkland shooter

David Hogg did NOT give the Nazi salute

Red State retracts story about Hogg  -  blames confusion caused on CBS.

InfoWars defers to Red STate retraction but does not take down story.

Snopes says story is FALSE, a HOAX.

Politifact blasts bloggers who say David Hogg was not present during the shooting at Parkland - rates story "Pants on Fire" fake news

Pretty sick that the right wing is so desperate that they would attack school shooting survivors in an effort to discredit them and further their political agenda. Really....really effing sick. But, that's a trump supporter in a nutshell.

The shameless defamation of young Parkland survivors by alt-right online trolls has been, well, "Deplorable"...
