U subotu, gnjevni učenik Marjory Stoneman Douglas škole iz Parklanda održao je vatreni govor, na kraju kojeg je digao ruku kao pozdrav i time zapalio društvene mreže.
Krajnje lijevi aktivist, David Hogg, tijekom govora napao je republikance rekavši: “Započeti ću ovdje stavljanjem cijenika koji će poslužiti kao podsjetnik koliko je Marco Rubio uzeo novaca za svaki od izgubljenih života na Floridi.”
Hogg je nastavio sa govorom u kojem je naglašavao stajalište demokrata: “Stavimo SAD ispred NRA.”
Pred kraj otprilike četiri-minutnog govora, Hogg je rekao: “Hvala vam. Sve vas volim. Bog vas blagoslovio i neka Bog blagoslovi Ameriku. Mi možemo i mi ćemo promijeniti svijet!”
U tom trenutku Hogg je salutirao i Twitter je pomahnitao.

Nije jasno što je Hogg mislio ovom gestom, je li ponukana nekim prošlim političkim pokretima ili je to nešto što je uradio u žaru momenta.
Evo nekih reakcija ljudi:
First it was armbands, now it's salutes. #MarchForOurLives seems dedicated to reviving the totalitarianism that brought so much bloodshed last century. The demonization of groups in society, calls for violence, etc This is why Americans own guns. #MAGA https://t.co/S35uHyyXO3

Još jedanput da napomenem, nije jasno što je Hogg mislio pod tom gestom, ali neko od medija, poput BuzzFeeda, koji su objavili cijeli govor, specifično su izrezali dio u kojem se vidi njegovo salutiranje. Zašto su to izrezali?
