        "insert himself" is also an interesting way to phrase what happened to him.

        "Choice" has near-infinite mileage among right-wingers.

        No it isn’t. His experience is important but it doesn’t make him suddenly an expert in a complex policy debate. He makes elementary errors such as calling the elected Sheriff Israel a governor’s appointee.

        Shit, a high school student wasn't aware how his county's sheriff is chosen? That really changes the debate about assault rifles

        If by 'Chosen' you mean was forced to endure an unspeakably horrific tragedy that is utterly preventable were it not for the efforts of an amoral gun lobby and the politicians they bought, then yeah, I guess he was chosen.

        These kids *chose* to be victims of mass shooting by engaging in radical acts such as going to school. Worse, afterwards they dared to speak up hoping to implement their agenda of not getting murdered before they graduate. 🙄

        I feel like the shooter - and all the shooters before him - made most of that choice.
