So Trump is going to Parkland, is he? Passed by the TV earlier and some guy on Morning Joe...

was saying the people down there should rip him a new one. Let him meet that anguished mother. And a few more parents and kids.

I know he's big on crowd management-- only supporters allowed. A time tested way to look better than you are, but this time it might not work.

Here's a quiet Middle American town that got caught in a maelstrom and is in shock. Nobody down there wants meaningless words and false promises.

They want no more guns in schools. Whatever it takes to have no more guns in schools.

Some of us were around for Duck&Cover, but we knew it was all a game and no Soviet bombs were coming.

Some of us were around for gangs and bullies hanging out around the schoolyards. We could deal with that, bad as it was.

But this... This is something new and terrifying and they damn well better do something besides talk.
