Fear and anger are very powerful emotions, ones capable of catalyzing both inaction and action in individuals of all ages. Combine either or both emotion with the inveterate optimism of youth, and it's not at all implausible that the MSD teens were impelled to action, particularly when bolstered by their peers and in post hoc defense of their fallen peers.You have to be a true believer or freaking dense to think kids who were traumatized by the deaths of other kids could be rallied into a political demonstration a couple of days after the tragedy. I bet if the media was honest and polled the kids as to which federal law they thought was appropriate and which federal law should be amended they would be met with a blank (unscripted) stare.
