Parkland activists David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez have taken to Twitter after the Texas school shooting to warn students that politicians will now act briefly like they ‘give a s**t’ about curbing gun violence.
It comes after a gunman was taken into custody Friday morning after storming a classroom at Santa Fe High School and yelling ‘surprise’ before he shot dead eight to 10 people.
Hogg and Gonzalez, who both survived the Parkland school shooting in February, quickly pledged their support to the Texas students in the aftermath.
‘We are fighting for you,’ Hogg tweeted.
‘Get ready for two weeks of media coverage of politicians acting like they give a shit when in reality they just want to boost their approval ratings before midterms.’
Gonzalez also took to Twitter saying they would support the Santa Fe students after those same students participated in a nationwide walkout protest in the wake of the Parkland shooting.
‘Santa Fe High, you didn’t deserve this. You deserve peace all your lives, not just after a tombstone saying that is put over you,’ she tweeted.
‘You deserve more than Thoughts and Prayers, and after supporting us by walking out we will be there to support you by raising up your voices.’
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez tweeted Friday that one person had been taken into custody and a second person was detained.
