Adults: Remember kids, if you can put your mind to it you can do anything!
Kids: *protest so they don't get massacred*
Adults: no not like That!
Yeah if we put the NRA in the families of the victims for a day they would hate guns
@John Grit Wow you really are moving the goalposts on this one! And, btw, when did Martin Luther King support the second amendment, you trumpturd?!
No more guns in schools.please...please....
That’s the thing about surviving a shooting: you grow up in a hurry.
You know that your society has failed when kids can’t be kids anymore.
Kolumbus Deroil
Hmmm. When I was their age, I didn't have to Constantly worry at school that someone was going to burst thru the door with a gun and blow us away. I'd rather not have an Android and be certain that someone wasn't going to shoot me during Chemistry.
I just went to Iceland for holiday. No guns there and 2-3 murders for the entire country for an entire year. I also live in Taiwan, also super low murder rate, and it's so safe and boring here, we have to watch your murders on our news. America is on it's own within the developed world for all this gun violence. YES, you guys failed YOUR kids.
Jakeeyy1009 get your head out of your ass!
Jakeeyy1009 what a complete bullshit! As a European who would never ever want to life in the USA nowadays a quick question: what was the last time (if ever) you have been in Sweden?....
Jakeeyy1009 I watched the video you linked. Do you seriously get your news intake from videos like this? Do you consider that as unbiased fact based information? First, the guy is probably also never been in Sweden and second, did you see what kind of videos he also did? Do you also take Alex Jones videos for reference?
Sorry, but "proving" your opinion with small bits of published information from all kinds of sources, often without context, quote statistics also without naming the source and the context, and display "references" so short nobody has time to really read them is not really what I would call a trustworthy source of information.
This is generation z. This is why I have hope for my generation.
"What? Oh, sorry, I didn't catch all of that, I was too busy reading on Twitter about how millennials are lazy and entitled..."
I'm glad he called out people who say that crap in spite of evidence like this that yes, kids do tend to care about the country, the lives of themselves and others, and the future we all face.
As a Gen Z folk I really feel like that we're a key Generation
"What are you doing in there?! You better be loading a gun, young man!!"
U.S. morality in a nutshell.
Kids trying to have a reasonable debate on laws and policies while the adults act like a bunch of internet kiddy trolls pushing conspiracy theories instead of doing something. What a time to be alive.
Truly
Funny! These kids were more acting like adult than the lawmakers in Florida. Florida lawmakers better stop acting like kids, over their campaign contributions.
Why are people surprised that teens can be articulate and revolutionary? Every country has evidence of powerful student civil rights movements in their history. It's not rare. Also, the self-roast at 4:56.
Stephen's look on his face says, "I don't even need to make a joke here, he did it himself. But I have to earn my paycheck so I will anyway."
All wisdom starts with knowing yourself
Lol seriously it’s not like they’re 12 they’re nearly adults
+Who Dunnit
Maybe the past generations just think they did it better, so it can't possibly be done well now.
I'm glad they're wrong.
Laydie Lie
These kids are smarter, and deserve more respect than anyone in politics. These politicians include Rubio, trump, and the rest of the political swamp rats. Doesn't matter which way they are affiliated.
When the kids get involved you know things are serious.
shadow kat lmao hope this was a joke
*Actors
seriously gay
*cough* memes
This is why in ancient japan only samurai were allowed to hold swords... because civilians were considered too undisciplined to hold the power to kill. even in ancient japan they had more sense then in modern america... this is sad
Rogue Lounge.
And they raped and killed our kings and queens murdered our people and stole our food. But why do you not know this country because it’s korea and when we ask for an apology what do they do? Say don’t speak trash. I know this because someone was murded in my family
It's just SAD
sorry i had to make a trump joke.
Then we nuked them with our bear arms
Japan also thought it was alright to go against a peace treaty. Look how that turned out. Bombs away
Was Malala a paid actor too? She was younger when she was shot, won a Nobel Peace prize and travelled the world advocating for education in English, which isn't even her first language. Someone give that girl an Oscar...
You should see the conspiracy theories surrounding her...in fact, don't. It will make you weep at how stupid people are...
"We're the ones getting murdered. You're the ones getting paid." Damn, son. That got me "woke".
The Real Muffin Man Don't settle for inaction.
Screw you kids, you're always complaining and demanding
Zargatorian Slayer Thank God for kids forcing change.
Leah Laushway Aren't you a liberal? Why you calling for God? No guns=we all become slaves! Think before you support these kids or any gun ban
Zargatorian Slayer Why are you attacking someone for believing in God? The second part of your comment is completely idiotic as well. What does gun ownership have to do with avoiding slavery? Illegality of slavery has zero to do with guns or gun availability. Tougher gun laws are a good thing and every single country that has enacted these laws has seen drastic reductions in mass shootings, and no, they didn't become slaves.
It brings me to tears to feel the hurt that these children are feeling. We have an unfeeling Congress whose only goal is to remain in power no matter what it takes.
SO proud of the kids💜
2017: Nazis, or not Nazis
2018: Guns or children
The Reps couldn't choose the obvious options in both years... Thanks to the NRA
It's a hard choise so they went for the option that has less letters.
The Republican party chose "not nazis" last year in a heartbeat. It's only the president of the US who didn't. And that wasn't because of the NRA!
What are you talking about? Almost every single person chose no to Nazis. What was truly going on was freedom vs control. Sadly, there are idiots who chose control, then used the whole "Nazis, or not Nazis" excuse to mask it. Either you're pro freedom (Nazis) or pro control (not Nazis) is how they were putting it.
Would that freedom include running over people with a car?
+Sebastian G. yes, and after the Drumpf did it, the whole Republican party followed suit
they were morally bankrupt 10 years ago, we don't have words to describe them now. Despicable, evil and avaricious are too soft.
I have three teenagers. (17,17,15)
Never underestimate the intelligence of a teenager.
They are amazing.
You have twins?
No, I adopted. I have 2 biological and one adopted.
Luke Sowers Patriotism and safety are mutually exclusive. Safety is not, nor ever will be a guarruntee. Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious. Human nature will always be thus.
They're democrats, so...... They don't like being patriots
Look I absolutely believe in America. We've all seen Americans working together (at one point or another.) We can be patriotic but we need to stop this drama. Fake ass presidency. This is a joke. Sub-par example of decency.
We deserve better.
Future voters of America, think about it DC
Similar thing happened when a ship with highschoolers on a school trip sank some years ago in my country. Parents of the ones could not escape the ship in time begged for the hauling of the sank ship. But some conservatives sneered at them, called them actors paid by some power trying to shake up the society. Its sad to see same responses rise up from some Americans across the globe...
정지호
Yeah I remember, the se-wol-ho. I love how conservatives on both sides of the world are terrible people.
“The douche doesn’t fall far from the bag” lmao
LOL
To an outsider sometimes it looks like the world is reversed: the kids are facing helplessly violence, and are trying to something to better their future, and the grownups are holding on to their toys, pointing fingers at others and throwing tantrums when people tell them to stop.
Galinas Books Agreed, it's typical GOP BS insanity.
It’s as if the whole Peter Pan thing became real. Who are the children and who are the Pirates Now? And just like that, it creates an image that the love, the innocence, and lack of the corruption from riches is something people lose as they grow up. It’s a wake up call. I always felt that people should realize that following anything that requires us to care less about the lives of our fellow people are things we as a people need to avoid. To me, it is THE prime directive as a species who wants to not die a villain. Seeing so many people fail to do that and get in power really makes things seem bad. But seeing the cross-country support was just a great show of love for which I just have to love these kids back for. I practically teared up just knowing such a heart-felt group, in a new generation, is part of our future.
Galinas Books - It's not a toy, it's a tool, and a Right. Look closer
Owning guns isn't a right. It's s privilege that bears great responsibility.
I find it kind of sad that a lot of people in this country would prefer to believe that these kids are actors and not just people who are upset at being shot at.
Green frog. Check. (Ignore blinders lowered)
oh im sorry Randy bridges, are you a fkn expert? you somehow know whats real and whats not. you're disgusting
Amanda...look at his avatar. That's all you need to know and understand what he identifies himself with.
What I find funny is how these kids were probably no where near the area the shooter was, every damn lib/rep and their mother knows about these kids but not the actual victims and everyone thinks they are heros? Noone EVER shows this much respect to kids their same age that are constantly shot at. That actaully see, while attempting to stabalize, their friend die. How about you but more attention in our vets? Listen to what they have to say?
I don't have to believe. I have friends who work at that school. They also attended that school. I know the families of some of the victims. This is very real.
Dude. This kid at my school posted on Facebook or something yesterday that he was gonna shoot up the school and has been arrested and expelled. He had all these pictures of him and guns posted and it was just...eugh. We all got lectured about posting stuff like that and my science teacher told us what to do in case of an active shooter. These kids are right. Politicians need to put innocent lives before their egos and wallets and do something about gun control
Natalie Alfera so was he really going to do it?
It’s not their egos. It’s their pockets. If they vote for gun control, they lose out on a lot of money and that’s what keeps them from doing the rt thing. I think maybe if it was hitting closer to home. Some private schools get shot up & they’ll decide to care.
Vashti Thomas I mean you’re right
Gun control is not the only problem.
Cole Medhus what are the other problems
Go students in America!!! 🇺🇸 Love and support from students in Canada ❤️
Thanks, Canada - we need your support!
How can people even think these kids are acting..?
robert lenon
the deeply ignorant followers of Alex Jones at Infowars. John Oliver did a piece on him, check it out. There are documentaries as well.
According to the hate group the_donald, they were too well spoken, too good looking, and they looked too old.
Deez Nuts He sold fish?
Deez Nuts and every other kid is also an actor?
Avenger that's a hate group ? more like a bunch of cartoons to me. I really can't take them seriously. Really, everything they say sounds like internet trolls.
I'm proud of the students! Stand Up!!!!
So, you're their drama club teacher?
Weak, and pathetic Bolsheviks?
Getting shot it is nothing new to me, and ive been in a few mass casualty situations myself. Didnt make me cry about guns.
90's GothScene Is activism more comfortable in your chair?
I didn't agree with Hilary calling half of Trump supporters deplorables but, some of them are living up to the label.
I don't agree either. ALL of them are.
"When they go low, we go high"? Remember that one, then remember the immediate aftermath and continued hysteria once Hillary lost? Yeah, still makes me chuckle.
All of them are and the truth hurts
@@thiswillnotendwell1019 exactly
Many of these kids will be 18 by the time mid-terms roll around. They'll know what to do.
America, congratulations. You have a future. You have a future with common sense. These aren't kids, they're more adult than those in charge. Be proud!
Mandy B Anyone is more smart than those retards.
ah, +adam, go play more Nirvana and wallow further in the cynical yet morally-superior fantasy Kurt himself would have abhorred.
We were the last generation with real ethics! Yeah! *crickets*
A pretty vain and at times delusionary generation...
Your doomed to experience the same bright futures that befell the the Armenians, Jews, Russians, Chinese and more when weapons were confiscated. How long before you think you'll have your 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th amendments removed. Governments with no accountability have always shown resraint.
greg miller no one is saying take away all the guns. All they are asking is that we do something. There are children dying and we aren't doing anything. Why aren't we doing anything?
"It also gives theatre majors the false hope they'll get jobs."
That hurts because it's true.
This isn't a right versus left issue.
It's a question are we and is our country willing to protect our children?
Gun control is a bi-partisan issue. Much like the national debt. The left is as responsible for lack of action on the delusional gun culture as the right.
hugh jorgan Yep totally agree. Both sides are failing us and we gotta hold them accountable.
You're right let's stop abortion.
True, but it is a stalling tactic used by the right to distract from the issues of gun control, to say the Democrats are trying to take away rights so as to make it a political issue, to blame the other side, not the laws in place.
Isaac Miller People like Stephen Colbert, raised catholic knows damn well abortion is not acceptable in the eyes of God. People are to procreate not kill the unborn. So, when children are raised in a society where its o.k. to terminate a pregnancy, what can we expect? No respect for life at all.
"Do you think 17 year olds would plan a rally?" Has he never seen footage of the civil rights marches, or the protests against the Vietnam and Iraq wars? I seem to remeber thows kids where fairly young too.
Vicky Mc That clown is clearly out of touch with the capabilities of motivated teenagers.
Teens are capable of a lot of things. A high school student body officer probably got the leaders of the school on board, then got the school on board, and next thing you know you have a protest. It is easy to say a time, date, and get a debate team to talk. The tricky part is, many adults do not see teenagers as reasonable people, so they tend to ignore them.
🙈 Don't know what you're talking about, I don't see anything
Clearly never invited to a HS planned party....
Arrogance to the max. (Vet and Vietnam War/draft protester).
Yeah for the kids demanding a voice.
One comment on an almost humor note: If they ban porn how are politicians going to select their dates?
Anvil Dragon Hire them by the hour?
If they ban porn kids are gonna arm themselves up to the teeth... Maybe then they will ban guns
Stormy Daniel would be jobless
Just what this already divided country needs: less sex, bring on the stress, amiright? This has to be one of THE MOST RIDICULOUS things our leaders could be doing at work right now. They may as well be making paper airplanes and shooting spitballs. The kids from the shooting are working harder right now than our politicians have for the entire past year. And on a lighter note...
When Trump won the election it was reported the porn sales in Trump states skyrocketed. This IS their base. So... whyyyy THIS issue? What's the deal?
so.. kids wanna ban guns.. and the Florida House bans porn?.. and I thought german Nazis were twisted
These kids from Florida have scared the crap out of the NRA . Pierre is losing his mind , the NRA is buying adds everywhere , throwing money around like beads at Mardi Gras

"You better be loading a gun young man[, and not unloading it]"
Haaa
Keln I didn’t get the reference until he said it hahaaaah.
Just tell Dad it is your new pump action handgun and you are doing target practice.
"Its too late, I shot too soon"
I'm genuinely horrified for these kids, the amount of push back they've been on the receiving end of for having the audacity to demand a safe learning environment is ridiculous.
They chose to get involved in politics. In politics, there is always criticism. That's the way it is.
American schools are statistically a shit load safer than any part of Africa...
BruceD1776 Since when is "children don't deserve to be shot just because one shmuck is having a bad day" considered political?
GamerGaters on Steam Why are you speaking to me? Shoo.
A part of me is actually happy for these kids. Don't get me wrong though, everything they have to deal with is really horrible, but when they get through all of these they will have gained so much in terms of "political strength", i.e. their ability to challenge, take action and gather up people for greater moral causes. These are the types of people that will make changes happen in the future. It's really sad though that it even has to go this far...
"The douche doesn't fall far from the bag."
Okay, THAT line gets Colbert a super-thumbs-up!!!
All of these kids demand change but don’t offer a solution
Don't give up kids.
"The douche doesn't fall far from the bag."
Rudi Hendricks And that's not "fake news" either.
My God I love you! Haha.
Bwhahahaha!!!!
LOVE IT!!!
Riding Hendricks .. "The douche doesn't fall far from the bag" ... it surely fits a lot of places and is worth repeating.
I am sorry children, all children deserve to be safe and loved. So proud of you!
Just a suggestion, America: You don't need assault weapons on the general gun market.
I don’t own an Assault Rifle, I own an AR. -15 Home defense system big difference
These kids are all amazing. They're the only thing making me feel okay right now.
I'm french (apparently you have to say it everytime you comment in english)
I support your kids. I wish I could walk with them.
I'm sure the sentiment is appreciated. These young people will be facing a uphill battle, and any support (even if just a few words) helps.
JBR haha, moi aussi je ressens le besoin de préciser. Je crois que c'est utile, pour apporter un peu de contexte au commentaire...
Come join us!
JBR viva la revolucion
It's especially useful to point out considering we in France have had a history of young people protesting and engaging in political activism. We know fully well as a country that, yes, "17 year olds can organize a rally". I'm 28 today, I was in high school from 2005 to 2008 and participated in such affairs at least twice in that time. The years after that I went to college and wouldn't you know, there I engaged in the same kind of activities twice in a two-year span.
None of those were about anything as ridiculously bad as 8 occurences of *fucking students being fucking shot at fucking school* in less than two fucking months, pardon my French.
Thanks for standing up for us Stephen ❤️❤️
4:56 Now that's is what's called intellect !! Could not have given a better analogy !! Go students ! Go !! We're behind you 101% !!
That's generation Z. And yes, they can organize a movement in no time flat using social media. Some start venture businesses or write books. Kids should never be underestimated. Adults think they can lie to kids, but they know BS when they see it. If you are a kid, this is your movement! If you have kids or work around kids, support the movement. Hell, if you are a human being, support the movement!
Agnes, you're absolutely right. I have young adult children. They and their friends can achieve amazing things. They're savvy, articulate and motivated.
You don't know any kids, do you?
Agnes Kim gen Z are age 8 and under.
EDIT: Currently, I have no idea how long this post will stay up pretty much those born after 2010.
Jason Allcreator no, then z is about 2001
adam casas
Wow! You passed this off as kids want to skip school for a day? The nerve you have. When I was in school, we had a bus shot at, and several bomb threats. Once there was an issue with kids loading guns in a bathroom. I think I'll take their word for this issue over your agenda ploy for no new gun measures.
There was no stability in my school. I couldn't learn in my school. I dropped out three times. Kept going back to learn something I could take with me. I loved to learn. You gun nuts ruined my education. If your priority one as an animal is survival first, then how can learning be the priority? I'll be candid, I never went to school to hang out. I wanted to learn everything. Learned very little there.
Ok seriously does it really even matter who's demanding change ?!? Obviously there needs to be a change !!!! These kids no longer feel safe make them feel safe
Kimberly Solomon im afraid you people are going to get taken seriously!
If their parents taught them about guns they would feel safer. this is a seed by the left to try and get traction for the upcoming election. the left has lost their base and now they are standing on the graves of kids in order to get a new base of voters, typically young kids who want things for free, but who have never paid for anything in their life. It's SAD!
Donald J Trump how would learning about guns have prevented those kids from being shot? Not letting an 18 year old buy one is the only thing that would have prevented it.
Donald J Trump republicans keep all these guns legal to make THEM money, but when someone wants to legalize weed to bring in more money to the US they say it’s “dangerous” and “disgusting”
Force military on them. 2 years minimum 1 and all.
we stood united against the Vietnam war now this new great generation is fighting for all our lives love and peace were with them
I am so proud of them, they are so strong.
Kingston is a low life. Trolls are at it as usual. Spitting out their venom. These young people are trying to save lives. Everyone in this country needs to support them. No more assault weapons. No teachers carrying. Resist.
The trolls have chosen a poor target this time, though. They're trying to vilify children who were shot at. Don't think this is going to go well for them.
But he's soo hot
Completely agree on no teachers carrying, as dumb ass don the con was trying to get out there. 1-they have way too much responsibility as it is for our kids to add that into the mix. 2-fixing a serious gun problem by throwing more guns at it??? Wtf man! That's what his 3rd grade mind comes to when he was told to fight fire with fire? Doesn't work that way.
I’m so proud of our young generation, they are showing more courage protesting their beliefs and values, than our old dusty politicians who do nothing too protect them.
While I do agree that our politicians are a problem, I must say that the young generation is just as problematic as the the things they say they are against.
To*
Roooa2312 you are ??? Poor if you !! You can see clear
Roooa2312
They are fighters. They aren't giving in to tyranny. All of my respect and admiration to kids fighting just to learn, and to grow. I want to say they are awesome. And strong survivors. But, that's not the point.
They are correct. Nothing else needs to be said. Only villains in our society will say they are wrong.
BigFry9591
Details, please. You're not going to make a vague accusation like that, without being called on it.
The world needs these passionate, proactive 17 year olds! Most have more sense than a lot of the 'grown ups'!
Nice to see a group peacefully descending on the Capitol without trying to overthrow the government.
Conservatives in 2018: Touch my guns and you'll get a civil war
Conservatives in 1861: Touch my slaves and you'll get a civil war
Conservatives in 1865: Wow, that did NOT work out the way we hoped
I am pretty sure the 1861's were the democrats
I see we got some mental giants in the room today.
WERE
Nj Rh he said conservatives. Not republicans. Conservatives were absolute the ones fighting to keep slavery
Nj Rh conservatives were for slavery and kkk. also facts
I am so proud of these kids. Good for them. I hope they vote when they come of age.
Just because they have scripts doesn't mean they're actors.
For example, look at Donald Trump's speeches. Tell me honestly that he doesn't use a script.
People can say their own speech and still use a script. Not everyone has to dedicate every single word to memory.
If you're in a play, acting, you're LESS likely to use a script than if you're giving a speech you wrote yourself.
Antarath no, CNN gave them a script. Some people exposed CNN for doing this
Thank you Stephen Colbert.😊
I am so proud of all those young people. They are so capable of making changes that need to be made. God bless them all.
As a European I can´t understand why US folks call adolescents "children". Over here in Germany people are considered to be "children" until they are 13, after that they´re "adolescents" or "teenagers" or "juveniles", but NOT "children". It´s not only semantics, but they actually have a different legal status than children under the age of 13. To call 16,17,18 yo people "children" sounds weird to me, like it would sound weird if somebody called 8-12yo children "toddlers".
NKA23 are you surprised by calling a 18 year old person child..... we have a 71 year old naughty child as president. 😎😎😎😂😂😂🤙🤙🤙
NKA23 wellcome to 'murica'
NKA23 As a fellow European I totally agree with you. Calling 17 year-olds "children" or "kids" and then doubt or mock their outrage and activism is so deeply offensive on so many levels. They saw their friends being killed in front of their eyes for fuck's sake, and the adults that took away part of their agency branding them as mere "children" are doing nothing, nothing, if not worse. It's damn time American teenagers make themselves heard loud and clear.
There are people who call them "children" to belittle them. There are people who call them "children" to use them for political gain. Both sides in the US do this.
What about 14 and 15 yr olds?
Young blacks were the freedom riders for the civil rights movement, kids you can make a difference, I'm with you
modern rebel Yes, and it was young people who started the Vietnam anti-war movement. You can always count on the spirit and determination of the young to spark a revolution.
"The douche does t fall far from the bag." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
4:50-5:34--That "Fiddler on the Roof" bit was absolute gold! Good for the student and Stephen for calling out the bullshit like that (and with a great musical to boot).
“You better be loading a gun young man!!”
Someone might want to point out that if your legislature doesn't believe that their high-schoolers are not in fact capable, almost adult persons, then maybe they have done a miserable job educating them. How old are those "kids"? 15? 16? Older than that? If your students are about to reach voting age soon, maybe it shouldn't be assumed that they are too young to understand politics, let alone the ability of forming their own informed opinions.
School's here only teach basic tools. Real teaching is unfortunately limited to being thrown into life with a blindfold.
"The DOUCHE doesn't fall far from the BAG"
lolz
the fiddler on the roof thing was the BEST monologue I ever done seed.
No porn but yes to gun? Are you trying to make bad sequel of Westworld?
Alternative Spicer haha it's season 2 of Westworld assuming from the trailer
"Fiddler on the Roof" kid is just AWESOME!!
Well said Stephen with the "the douche doesn't fall from the bag." well said :)
I am so inspired by these kids ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for standing up for your right. Love from Toronto ❤️
Republicans just keep lowering that bar.
uniquely terrible people. dooming americans and the planet.
if it only where the republicans.. i mean your two party system is making you the mocking stock for ever developed country spectating you. hint: multi party system and its harder for rich people to do lobbyisme.
Zime rust America is already as deep as in the South Park episode raising the bar
With trump in office the bar is a slow as it can go it is a sad time to be an American
it's in free fall
These kids ARE acting...like adults.
These kids have their act together..kudos!
I have nothing but respect for those kids, they just survived a school shooting and then they go and act in a far more mature way than the adults that look down their noses at them because "How dare they demand change after nearly dying while trying to get an education?!"
Also, can someone give Cameron Kasky a medal for that awesome response to the 'Crisis Actor' bollocks?
The kids aren't alright and we should really be listening to and supporting them.
Add it to the list of all time best Stephen Colbert quotes, "What are you doing in there?... You better be loading a gun young man!"
Max Muller "The douche doesn't fall far from the bag" was pretty good too
"The douche doesn't fall far from the bag!" LOLOLOL
It’s about standing together, no breaking apart.
I can't believe the gall of the people claiming these kids are acting. What about those poor kids in hospital? Anthony Borges? Who was shot 5 times holding a door shut for his classmates?
Had to google his name to know who he was. What a hero!
Kai Sea .
the problem is, some of the interviewed students are too old to be students and are proven to have graduated elsewhere, and their lines look scripted and its not the first time. plus there are actors that have been witnesses in several similar incidents. how dumb do u have to be to not get it.
Jesus!
Do you also believe the story that NASA is colonizing Mars with child slaves?
Really. This is a story from the same people who are spreading lies about these kids.
+Dankady Bong, Your evidence please?
Keep fighting kids. Everyone knows it's only a small minority in america that are against you. They bark a lot because they're intimidated. Keep up the pressure. They won't dare leave the security of online anonymity to confront you.
Walked out of school for 15 minutes and nothing has changed
What are you doing in there? You better be loading a gun young man. LMAO.
Maybe that ‘Fidler’ kid should try out comedy instead of musical theatre, he had such impeccable comedic timing!
okcomputer Yeah Cameron is hilarious, he played Motel in Fiddler On the Roof.
He really does. I've seen/listened to multiple interviews and each one he's had at least one unexpected & perfectly timed jab
The real money is in improv 😀
okcomputer Indeed he did 👏👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😁😁!!!!
This country is eating itself.
And not even in the fun way.
Haaa
Eh just a different type of fun.
It's everyone's fault, but nobody wants to admit it.
Yup.
BigFry9591 nah its the fault of people wanting to own guns. if guns were illegal most of this cowards wouldn‘t be able to get guns. or do you actually believe an 18 year old would get a gun from the black market? LOL. He‘d get shot right after he gave the dealer the money.
Respect to these kids!
2:35: I would've prefered the punchline 'polishing a rifle'
These kids amaze me. I am so sorry that the people who were meant to protect you have resigned themselves to watching you die, again and again and again. I am so sorry that this burden has fallen to you. You are better than they, or I, will ever be. You inspire me. I have your back. I will use my vote to fight for you, and call out those who refuse. #NeverAgain
Yeah like the police and FBI who did nothing about the shooter, and now leftists want them to be the only one to get guns.
Darth Vader If the police and the FBI can’t do it, what makes you think some guy with a gun that will probably be mistaken for the shooter anyway and killed can do it?
+angelofdusk13 These "students" are being fed their lines. Look up "David Hogg being coached," UA-cam has completely censored any videos with this clip that starts at 8:30 ua-cam.com/video/Y_rdu9XHS8g/v-deo.html As far as what was scripted? The CNN Town Hall on Gun Control ua-cam.com/video/9owTNI0q8PU/v-deo.html
YES.
I agree. I may be going to the March in DC next month #NeverAgain
"The douche doesn't fall far from the bag."
ROTFLMAO! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm dead
Smartest and funniest man on TV. A Godsend.
You kids are inspiring. Your exemplary intelligent heart-felt presentations greatly appreciated. Know that goodness is on your side, successful efforts inevitable. Thank you for picking up the torch with a mighty roar, again making the voice of reason heard 💜✌☺
These kids, and others like them, is why I still believe in America. Why I still have hope for the future even during these times where those who are suppose to represent the people of our nation benefit from harming us. A candle burns brightest before going out; that's what I believe the Trump era is. A last stand of a dying breed who refuse to see that the world has changed and is still changing for the better, and wears that ignorance like a badge of honor.
I am so PROUD of these kids, and I hope that future leaders will pave the way for a better America and not make the next generation pay for the mistakes of the past. #TheAmericaIStillBelieveIn
Lucas Mussman - Hey Lucas, this is your country; brilliantmaps.com/2016-county-election-map/
Good luck with that last of a dying breed thing
"A candle burns brightest before going out; that's what I believe the Trump era is. A last stand of a dying breed who refuse to see that the world has changed and is still changing for the better, and wears that ignorance like a badge of honor."
I really hope you are right about this Lucas.
I don't believe that the people you refer to will ever literally die out, but I hope they are indeed on a steady decline. I hope their years of affecting public policy will come to an end.
Stephen Colbert is a genius for being able to make me laugh during a horrific national tragedy. I don't care what you say.
DarthCruciare87 Laughing is a form of understanding and agreement. Colbert and his team of writers/researchers, are genius to point out absurdities.
DarthCruciare87 you laugh because at this point Americans have already normalized mass shootings
As a Canadian observer, I have to agree. With a mass shooting occurring an average of 3 times a week, it happens more often than some couples have sex.
"Why did you laugh?"
"Son, it's because, if I didn't laugh, I would cry."
Well, I agree with you, DarthCruciare87, and I don't care if you don't like it! :)
On DTR j:
THE DOUCHE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE BAG.
Priceless!
These kids have spirit and courage. It was teens that got behind the Civil Rights movement. Students at Morehouse and Spellman organized the Atlanta sit-ins. Mostly teens that started the Viet Nam protests.It was
an immoral war just like so many gun laws. IMMORAL. Salute to these 'kid's' and good wishes for a huge turnout at the March Rally.
In my country some of the most foreceful but yet positive manifestations have been done by highschool kids, do not underestimate them.
YEP
Richard Parker Truth.
I'm glad these kids are putting pressure on congress. Who will they listen to? The nation's children who are directly affected by gun violence & pleading for help or to the "free speech" of the NRA's big money?
Money, of course. I mean, we *ARE* talking about Congress here.
Sadly, money talks.
I hope you know how obvious and also how depressing the answer to your question is.
*Sadly* Americans lack the freedom to have safety in schools because of the frequent occurrences of school shooting.
NRA money. Without a single doubt in my mind. NRA money
As someone who couldn't stage a walk out because of the fact we had play practice, thank you Stephen for making my day
“The douche doesn’t fall far from the bag” yes!!!!
Big change is coming, these kids are our future and the future looks bright.
Prettypasta these are also the kids who created "tide pod challenge", mumble rap, the word "fleek" and whom are one of the biggest generations to be chemically dependant on prescription medications... Yeah, real bright future😒
"chemically dependant on prescription medications..." Hmm I wonder why... it's not like there's an option out there that could be used to help them that's healthier and has little to no side effects but unfortunately the powers in place feel that it's "evil". Also that little quip of the tide pod challenge is ridiculous. The majority of everyone who saw it, knew it was stupid. That's why it was being called out by everyone. Your judging an entire generation on the stupid actions of the very few. Mumble rap is a personal taste if someone likes it, so be it. I personally hate it, but music has changed constantly over millenia. Fleek is also something that comes along with the changing of the times. It's slang. Slang has practically been around since the spoken and written languages were created. Just by reading what you typed it's no surprise that you're ignorant of information because you simply refuse to actually take time to think before coming to a conclusion.
Nice try, Cletus. Distractions and unrelated bullshit have no place here, Cletus. Bye Cletus.
That's a nice sentiment, but the baby boomers were kids in the sixties. They were pretty cool back then, and look what happened to them. The system has a way of grinding people down.
Rage Control, and aren't you judging an entire group of gun owners on the actions of the very few? Knives and DWI's kill way more people than firearms yet there's no mass movement to ban alcohol or knives. Those same kids protesting "evil AR's" are going to go out to parties and clubs and ingest the same poison that's killing thousands, but that's ok, right? Yet I'm the ignorant one? Grow and wake the fuck up! Oh and the little "quip" is something called "sarcasm" which used to be a lot more understood before the delicate sensibilities of the younger generations deemed it "not PC". C'mon, think outside the box.
This time adults are the children in the room; kids are demonstrating that they mean business whenever lives matter!!!!!
I guess they don't want to be prey in this hunting game anymore. And NRA suggest everyone should have a gun and play hunting together, good versus bad.
hahaha "you better be loading a gun in there!!!"
These children are honestly amazing
+TheBookWorm1718 how the hell could you possibly thinn that they are stupid they are standing up to change the problems that America has
+TheBookWorm1718 what you are saying has no relevance in this situation guns are killing people in America these kids are standing up for what is right. so acthink about this there would be no school shootings if guns were under control like lit2every other country in the world
