In a disturbing episode this week, some student walkouts over gun control displayed the same violent tendencies as the Florida shooter.
One of Tennessee’s largest newspapers reported that students at a high school outside of Nashville had a redo after their Wednesday event ended in mass chaos. Videos from their Wednesday walkout didn’t exactly show the student body in the best light.

‘Some Antioch High School students jumped on a cop car Wednesday during what was supposed to be a peaceful demonstration for action on gun laws, according to police. Others tugged down an American flag,” the Lexington Herald Leader reports today. “There were even multiple fights, the school district said, and about 20 students are now facing disciplinary action.”
The incident in Nashville was not isolated. Across the nation, in school after school, students allowed their anger to become violent.
Some say it points to the theory that the problem is not guns, but an undercurrent of violence. Another is the incivility of a generation trained to respond to differences of opinion with fist fights and other ugly actions.
In Chicago the protests ended up trashing the inside of an inner-city Walmart. The store that had opened in an effort to serve the community and bring much needed jobs.
Chicago police are trying to identify the dozens of students from Simeon Career Academy who they say took part in a vandalism spree. A television news channel broadcast videos of the destruction.
“Shoppers and store employees were stunned by the destruction Wednesday morning at the Walmart in Chatham Market on the South Side,” the station reports. “Chicago police say it started when students at neighboring Simeon Career Academy were allowed to leave the school for 17 minutes to take part in the nationwide walkout to protest guns.”
Police say between 40 and 60 of those students crossed the street and trashed the store.
Some in the media are now questioning what was supposed to have been a student-led protest. While the vast majority of the student marches and protests were peaceful, it has now been learned that certain organizations with ties to last year’s marches were, in fact, the main organizers.
While CNN and other mainstream news outlets touted the walkouts as student-driven, new details have been discovered that show a different story–and motivation.
Radical groups involved?
One of the organizers of this week’s walkouts was the “Women’s March Youth Empower,” which is part of the “Women’s March” that organized the violent anti-Trump protests in the nation’s Capital last year.
“Our elected officials must do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to this violence,” the outfit said on its website. The network, which lobbies for unrestricted abortion and open borders, also gave the children it was exploiting a list of “demands” for lawmakers. Among them: a ban on “assault weapons” (semi-automatic rifles) and “universal background checks,” a scheme that would facilitate the creation of a national gun registry that some observers say would make eventual confiscation possible.
Among the leaders of the “Women’s March” behind the protests was Islamist Linda Sarsour, who openly promotes Sharia law for America. “You’ll know when you’re living under Sharia Law if suddenly all your loans & credit cards become interest free,” she wrote on social media. “Sound nice, doesn’t it?”
Sharia also demands the death penalty for homosexuals, Muslims who become Christians, blasphemy, and much more.
But it was not just the organizers of the Women’s March behind the event. The New American documented on March 13, “some of the biggest and most well-funded establishment outfits — many funded by radical billionaires such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg — have been providing money, organization, logistics, buses, public relations help, and so much more from the start.”
Ironically, far-left groups such as MoveOn, funded by globalist Soros, were even boasting publicly that they were “leading” some of these walkout efforts.
