BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 04/01/18 08:16 AM EDT
The son of former national security adviser Michael Flynn ripped Parkland student David Hogg this weekend, saying he hadn't been smacked enough growing up.

His tweet came in response to Hogg rejecting an apology for a critical tweet Fox News host Laura Ingraham posted about his college prospects. Hogg has become a vocal advocate for gun control since the deadly shooting at his high school in Parkland, Fla.

Flynn Jr. later doubled down on his comments, tweeting: "Lot of libs triggered by this comment. If smacking your kid when he gets out of line/mouths off is 'troublesome' for you, youre one of the main reasons our kids (in the US) are #22 in the world in education. Called LACK OF DISCIPLINE."

Flynn and his father have been investigated as part of the ongoing probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Flynn Jr. served as his father's aide for work on his consulting company, Flynn Intel Group. Flynn Sr. was Trumps national security adviser in January 2017.

(10,721 posts)...just how different the right wing/asshole mindset is. Right wingers will cheer Flynn's comments, while the rest of us are disgusted. We simply have to outnumber them, as they can't be reached.

(16,254 posts)Not only did he get himself in deep doodoo, but he led his kid into the same scandal. A few more beatings might have helped. While he is sitting in prison, he can think about it unless he's come up with enough incriminating information on Trump to buy his way out. Time will tell.

Even children are not safe from them! The totally innocent victims of crazed mass murderers are fair game for them!
The brave kids of Parkland have exposed the dark heart of evil in Trump and his followers for all to see.

(7,437 posts)Hogg is amazing in how he stays within himself and nonetheless conveys a message that's measured and consistent.
Meanwhile, Junior's Father had to cry himself into a wet mop to save his Junior from getting legally pummeled by Mueller while Junior continued to tweet defiance as if he's some kind of prince. It's Junior who's the undisciplined fool and spoiled erstwhile criminal.

(14,200 posts).... "this is for your own good" crap really means "the thought of inflicting pain upon others thrills and excites beyond all comprehension." As they look and search for the next reason that permits them too act out their sick sadistic behaviors and tendencies.
To them parental love means a good solid fist willing and able to knock out a few teeth and inflict injury. Authoritarian mindset - coming down like the wrath of God All Mighty - the heavy hand of parental guidance is the accepted and preferred norm.

Ejaculate into a tissue...
Roll it up into a wad...
Then flush it down the toilet into the sewage systems...
Save humanity from the bent minds of your off spring nurtured by your Fascistic viewpoints. Please do not procreate. The world will be a much better place with constraints placed upon and limiting your gene pool.
We don't hate you intrinsically - just hate everything you do, you say, and what you stand for. Could you roll up in the fetal position over there in that corner and drop dead ? We don't worship Authoritarian Fascist here.

This shitty little fuck apparently doesnt know smacking your kid is often borderline or actual abuse and good parenting and discipline do not require smacking around to be effective.

a.) throw yourself in front of the door to absorb incoming fire to protect your friends?
or
b.) cringe behind your friends, hoping their bodies protect you and start crying out for your mommy?

(13,133 posts)People often think clearer when faced with threatening things if given the time. The idea of multiple peers being gunned down in front of their faces for something they know might have been prevented tends to stir such thinking I would think. Really do they need to be anything other than just human for us to sit up and take notice.
It's carnage caused by a government that puts profit and partisanship above its citizens. I hope everybody thinks whatever they want to think but with the one caveat, they know the root cause of it all.

Are you implying that in addition to being a felon and taking money from both the Kremlin and Erdogans Turkey (allegedly to kidnap an American resident and rendition him) your father smacked you when you were a child? And do you believe you turned out better than David will?

(90,795 posts)Jr. thinks that abuse made him a responsible adult. He, like so many who were smacked around by their parents, really think that made them a better person. Smacked around as children, desperately loving their abuser and craving their approval, as adults they will cling to any justification for dressing their abuse up as reciprocated love.
Damn, that is tragic. Because you know each and every smack was followed by a "Be a man" type comment.
You want to feel sorry for him because that's the decent response but any feelings of sorrow for Jr. go out the window when you consider how he has treated others and how his actions have caused so much harm.
I pity him but that pity doesn't mitigate his lies and actions or the damage he has caused - and continues to cause.
