Furious and unflinching, a youth icon and an NRA enemy, an accused “crisis actor” attracting death threats, and a high-school graduate trying to figure out what’s next.
AT 2:30 on February 14, David Hogg was not yet a spokesperson for radicalized young America or a renowned media savant or a resistance fighter or, to some, the encapsulation of everything terrifying about where the country is going, but a high-school senior crouched in a dark classroom while a gunman with an AR-15 ranged beyond the walls of his hiding place, slaughtering 17 people in six minutes.
