The point of the video is the student's reactions to the shooting wanting more gun control. It's not meant as chronological documentation.
Oh...yes it was.
These were purported interviews that *chronologically* took place DURING the shooting and not AFTER. That's how David Hogg's video was advertised to the public.

That makes it even more clear. The background is totally different in the recording where he says it's 9:32. It's clearly not taken at the same time as the first 2 clips. The most logical conclusion is that it's later on that day, 9:32pm.
I honestly don't see how so many people are fooled by this. I guess when you just really want to believe there's some kind of conspiracy, you won't pay enough attention to notice these details.
Dude, if anyone is fooled it is because David Hogg OR SOMEONE ELSE edited the video to place the *later* interview in the middle of other footage from inside the closet and then packaged it for public consumption as 'interviews recorded during the shooting.'
Blame David Hogg for never clearing that up and anyone else involved in the effort to *fool* people.
I'm not blaming anyone. If someone edited the video to give that impression, I most certainly do blame them for trying to mislead people. However, for anyone to jump to the conclusion that the interview in question is at 9:32am, before the shooting took place, and it never even enters your mind that that's just another interview from 9:32pm when they would surely still be talking about it since it just happened to them 7 hours prior... I mean, honestly, how do you think people draw that conclusion?
I see windows with daylight streaming through them in the video!!! Sorry, I assumed 9:32 a.m. instead of p.m.
There's still no official word on it though. Maybe you are wrong.
Oh. My. God.
The images on the video are during the incident. The interview where he says it's 9:32 doesn't have accompanying visuals, it's overlayed over different video. In one video it's overlayed over news coverage, in another video it's overlayed over video he took during the shooting.

And isn't that very confusing? Intentionally misleading even.
They say the interview is taking place during the shooting, they show video of people in the closet during the shooting...but....
Oh. My. God.
How on earth could I possibly believe they are purporting the interview is taking place during the shooting???
Totes my fault.
Oh. My. God.

The interviews were REPORTED to have taken place during the shooting while in that closet. I watched the CBS interview David Hogg and that is what they said.
You claim a later interview was dropped into the middle of a video that was supposedly taken during the shooting and you "wonder how anyone can be fooled."
Moving on.
You still have no official word and it's not worth discussing with you UNLESS you do.
For all I know...it really could have been 9:32 a.m. No reason to believe it was p.m. over a.m. or vice versa.
NONE. Just your guess.
When a news outlet questions David Hogg about it and we have an answer....then we can discuss further.

It's not confusing at all. When the video is in slow motion and the audio is at normal speed, it's obvious the audio is overlaid.

Nope...not confusing at all. *wicked cackle*
I don't know why it never occurred to me to put news videos in slow motion while keeping the audio at normal speed to get the *real* story.
I'll tell my 78 year old in-laws so they know to get a computer, sign up for internet, and do this. They have their TV on the news, all day, every day, and have been doing it wrong for years.

There is no procedure/policy in place for anyone to come onto campus. There's nothing to stop movement. No one asks questions of any adult or student-looking person. The lobby is wide open and the office is behind a door. All entry doors at the school are unlocked from 6 am-6 pm.
At least at the elementary schools one must be buzzed in through the office and state your business and given a tag, show ID etc.
That just seems crazy -- especially these days! But even back in my day in the '70s, the front of the school was open but with security guards. But we also had undercover cops all over too! And even my kids' schools were always locked up except the administrative offices, which also had guards. I think they were armed, but I'm not really sure now. Their schools also had one or two police officers assigned as Police Liaison Officers as well.
In those days, I think folks were more concerned about things like non-custodial parents trying to take their kids, or perverts in general getting access to kids, stuff like that. And, of course, the trouble that kids get into all on their own!

So can you admit there's no indication it was taken at 9:32am yet? There's plenty of other legitimate issues here, the 9:32 thing is a red herring.

It's disinformation...intentionally misleading. You cannot call it a red herring without mentioning that.
Those spreading disinformation and intentionally misleading information are demanding gun laws change without any scrutiny -- despite the fact that they are spreading disinformation and misleading information.
Sure, it's a mouthful...but 'red herring' just comes up so short.

So you reckon he has done an audio only interview at 9.32pm and mixed that audio over footage and audio taken during the lock down? That could be right.
In a statement released by his lawyer, Peterson said he “heard gunshots but believed those gunshots were originating from outside of the buildings on the school campus,” according to the release. “BSO trains its officers that in the event of outdoor gunfire one is to seek cover and assess the situation in order to communicate what one observes with other law enforcement.”
BSO’s policy states that an officer “may” – not “must” – enter a building when an active shooter is attacking, meaning Peterson might not have violated any technical rules. Still, police tactical experts say, most active-shooter training calls for cops to identify the location of a gunman, whether inside or outside.
Peterson claimed he took up a position outside Building 12 after rushing over to respond to a report of firecrackers. He and security specialist Kelvin Greenleaf ran out another building on the sprawling campus and ran “a couple hundred yards” north to Building 12.
“Radio transmissions indicated that there were a gunshot victim in the area of the football field, which served to confirm Mr. Peterson’s belief that the shooter, or shooters, were outside,” according to the lawyer.

I find it a little odd that if you were responding to a report of firecrackers you'd draw your weapon and take cover outside waiting for backup.
Reports of firecrackers at the scene of a shooting are routine though. That sounds like nearly every news story about a shooting I've ever seen. Ever watch your local news? Just about every story about a shooting they'll interview some old lady that lives down the street that says she thought she heard firecrackers.
Whereas at my school the gates were always open, the closest we had to a security guard was a nun who'd sometimes patrol the grounds smoking a cigarette

HA! there is something terrifying about a Nun smoking a cig, walking around looking for trouble makers. Just something about that image that seems BatMan like in terror level.
