Are you serious?

That makes it, what, no big deal? Do you have kids of your own? God, I hope you wouldn't minimize it if this happened to them.

I'm a pediatrician outside the DC area. I see teenagers in my practice who were at a school where there was a shooting last year. Some are still having nightmares. Some have transferred schools. There is other fallout. Some seem to be doing okay. One was okay until she wasn't -- when that time of year rolled around again, and she could smell the same seasonal scents again, she started crying for no reason. These are just kids. [/quote]

And there are kids who deal with gang deaths and parent overdoses. (I've been on both ends of the spectrum during my career - inner city to rural America.).  your point being?

Regarding Hogg, he doesn't appear to be suffering from PTSD.  He's apparently cool enough for the camera and is eager to fight back when provoked.  In fact, quite the opposite is true.  He appears to love the limelight.

True activists needs ego in order to give them the courage to fight for a cause, but there's healthy ego and arrogance. This kid doesn't have the compassion that successful activists have.  He'll be gone in the blink of an eye.
