CNN impaneled a bunch of high school kids from all over the country to debate guns.

It turned into a social justice shit show.

The pro-gun kid in the bottom left was right but made weak arguments.

The sure, guns come from Indiana into Chicago.  Having lived in both places, the problem with Chicago is not loose gun laws in Indiana.  Indiana doesn’t have the homicide rate that Chicago does.  The problem is endemic to something (cultural) about Chicago.  If it were simply gun laws, Indianapolis would be far worse off than the Windy City.

Immediately the black girl and brown boy in the to row dove onto the “we can’t trust the cops because the cops are racist” swords.  She brought up the “school to prison pipeline.”

I agree that some zero-tolerance policies are bad, but the anti “school to prison pipeline” policies in place at MSD, kept making excuses for Nikolas Cruz until he killed people.

It was just social justice braying “I’m a victim, I’m a victim.”

Then it took a turn into white privilege where it drove off the cliff into an all out argumentative race war.

People who want to be victims will never be anything but victims because they take comfort in their victim status.

I had no idea what CNN wanted to get out of this but what it showed was that high school kids shouldn’t have any control over policy.
