remember kids it is better to raise your hand and tell a story about your dog then it is to ask a real question. /s

 

[Hesemonni]

Giffords’ husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, called Ames and Lori Mayfield on Thursday night to have a private conversation about the situation. Ames said Kelly told him to keep asking tough questions.

I mean, if an astronaut called 11 yr old mean I'd shit my pants and go apeshit. Hell, I'd probably go apeshit if an astronaut called 34 yr old me.

It gets better

Part of this kid's first question:

“I was astonished that you blamed black people for poor health and poverty because of all the chicken and barbecue they eat,” Ames says.

 

[mclem]

Bet you didn't expect that kind of ether from an 11 year old, huh? She was probably shook.

Bless the children of the world.

Reminds me of this, about thirty years old now.

 

[kiguel182]

Someone give the kid a statue.

Also, can’t believe that people who commit domestic violence are allowed guns...

From the mouth of babes.

Children are our future leaders. God Bless that boy.

holy shit

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Why the Hell would you kick a child out of cub scouts for doing the assignment and asking a legitimate question to one of their representatives?

I guess they're not teaching kids to be upstanding citizens.

They're teaching them to be "American".

Luckily there are other places that that teach the kids how to be human that have already accepted him.

 

[Ragelink26]

I have a buddy in CO. I'm going to text him to find this kid and shake his hand for me.

Part of this kid's first question:

While responding to Ames' question, Marble told the Cub Scouts, "I have a multicultural family and I'm very proud of it."

what about her best friend?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Being kicked out of the scouts for using critical thinking and supplying a great question. That's right, punish someone for doing something good, that's what we should be teaching kids... *rolls eyes*...

But seriously, being little petty bitches because an 11 year old asked a great question.

 

[RDreamer]

Someone stopped him because it was a tough question?

Uh... shouldn't we all be asking tough questions? WTF? They don't even try to say it's inappropriate or something. They say it's tough.

How the fuck do you justify kicking him out over asking a tough question?

 

[Maedre]

This is so fucked up

These people want you to be docile and to lack critical thinking so of course they would. Critical thinking = a danger to their views/party.

That’s awesome.

 

[adamsapple]

When it was Ames' turn, he asked: ”An issue that I'm concerned about is common sense gun control. I was shocked that you co-sponsored a bill to allow domestic violence offender to continue to own a gun. ... Why on Earth would you want somebody who beats their wife to have access to a gun?"

Damn. That kid is more well articulate than I would probably have been in that situation.

The Senator's first google image...

Why am I not surprised in the least...

What the ever fuck

 

[LegendofJoe]

What the ever fuck

I have blacks, Mexicans, and Jew (sic) in my family; then proceeds to talk about genetic flaws. You aren't hiding anything lady.

Part of this kid's first question:

The kid's too smart for this particular troop.

 

[RedHill]

Everything's all "free speech means I can say whatever I want" until it isn't republican

Kids opinion on this subject were already silenced with Sandy Hook.

 

[Principate]

The kid's too smart for this particular troop.

"I have blacks in my family I have blacks and Mexicans". I'm sorry but I tapped out there. Phew quite the double whammy.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

article doesn't mention the answer?

im really curious what the state senator said. like, its a pretty fucking simple question. would love to hear how he wormed out

"This is America, Commie. My rights, cuck."

Something like that.

 

[Gunblade47]

While responding to Ames' question, Marble told the Cub Scouts, "I have a multicultural family and I'm very proud of it."

what about her best friend?

She also cant be racist because she likes fried chicken.

I mean even sitcoms dont portray republicans on this level of stupidity.

 

[LegendofJoe]

It's really awesome that Mark Kelly called that kid to encourage him. The Democratic party has been recruiting him hard to run for a US Senate seat. He's exactly the type of person that is needed in Washington. If he doesn't want to run against Jeff Flake next year I can't think of a person better suited to take McCain's seat when he retires.

 

[muteki]

hehe.

 

[LiK]

This kid is gonna be a wonderful adult human being.

Sinema's lined up for that seat, they likely are thinking of Kelly for when McCain retires.

Obviously it's fine for domestic abusers to have guns because their (hopefully) ex-wives should also have guns which they can use to protect themselves against their abusive (hopefully) ex-husbands. See, everything makes sense in a society where everyone has guns and doesn't mind using them!

Spoiler

The preceding message may not apply to anyone who does not look sufficiently caucasian. Also /s.

Good on this kid, we need more people who aren't afraid to ask questions that make people uncomfortable.

 

[KodaRuss]

God damnit, what a fucking joke some people have become.
