Threats won’t stop survivor

A SCHOOL shooting survivor is now getting death threats.

A 17-year-old survivor of last week’s massacre in Florida has received death threats amid rightwing conspiracy theories that he’s an anti-Trump “actor,” according to his mother.

David Hogg — who’s been particularly vocal since 17 people were killed at his high school in Parkland, Fla. — became the target of a baseless smear campaign online after news spread that his father is a retired FBI agent.

Because of President Trump's recent animosity toward the FBI, right-wing conspiracy theorists have asserted — with no proof — that Hogg has been trained by his father to hate Trump. The conspiracy theorists have also disparaged the teenage school shooting survivor as a “crisis actor” who, they claim without evidence, isn’t actually a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Because of those shocking and false assertions, Hogg’s family is now fielding death threats, according to his mother, Rebecca Boldrick. But the threats have not dissuaded them.

“It’s making us more determined than ever. They’re not going to scare us. This energizes us,” Boldrick, 51, told the Daily News on Thursday. “We need to get the message out that school shootings need to stop and that assault rifles need to be banned.”

Among the disturbing messages, Boldrick said, was one lobbed over social media to her daughter, a Stoneman Douglas freshman who lost four friends in the Feb. 14 slaughter.

“Go die, you w---e,” the user wrote, according to Boldrick.

The outrageous conspiracy theory about Hogg (photo) has gained traction in some Republican circles. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., liked two tweets linking to fake stories about it and an aide to a Republican Florida state congressman was fired after he tried to push the false claims to a reporter.

But Boldrick vowed to ignore the noise, as her son prepares for an anti-gun violence march on Washington planned for March 24.

“We’re not saying ban all guns,” Boldrick said. “The Second Amendment is important; people want to be able to defend themselves. But we don’t feel that any human being needs an assault rifle.”
