David Hogg is still out there, whining about the NRA and Second Amendment. He’s now supporting a new initiative, and it’s pretty disturbing.
It’s exactly what it sounds like. It’s basically an initiative that encourages young people to give public permission to show a graphic image of their dead body in the event that they’re murdered in a violent shooting.
How freaking horrific is that?
We started doing research, and realized the graphic photos from shootings are never publicized for the world to see. This is done for two main reasons; one — out of respect for the families, and two — to not politicize their death.
What this project does is give the power to the individual to make that call whether or not they want graphic imagery of their body to be published in the event they die from gun-violence by another person. Why? In the hope they can create change.
Is that really a valuable answer here? No. It’s not. They want to do this in order to make people afraid of guns. They figure if people see the bloody images, they’ll turn on the Second Amendment and demand action. That’s what this comes down to.
There’s a Q&A, which notes that they can’t guarantee that their wishes will be carried out.
Will my wishes be carried out if I have an advocate?
There’s no guarantee. In the United States, we have a free press. Media publications will always make their own editorial decisions based on content availability and copyright ownership.
However, many publications don’t share these photos out of respect to those who die from gun violence – this initiative empowers you to encourage these publications to share a photo of your death as a result of gun violence, in the hope of creating change.
This is not an answer. This entire initiative is rooted in nothing but emotion. This isn’t advancing a serious conversation.
