The Fake School Shooting

It never happened, but he made up a whole narrative about being a survivor. When you have to make stuff up to support your cause, maybe you should look long and hare at what you are supporting. Shocking lies of gun control activist who claimed he survived school shooting | Daily Mail Online

Calvin Polachek, 23, claimed that his brother, best friend and nine classmates were killed in 2017 during a violent rampage at Dallas High School in rural Pennsylvania.

In an emotional speech before the Kentucky State Capitol in February, Polachek recounted the horror of returning to campus a week after the alleged tragedy.

A heart-rending story that is complete fiction.

However it has since emerged that the business student lied about his ordeal and that the shooting 'never occurred', per Dallas Township Police Chief Doug Higgins.

Polachek's brother Luke is also 'very much alive and well', several Dallas High School alumni confirmed to WNEP.

Dallas School District Superintendent Dr. Thomas Duffy, who also refuted Polachek's fabricated tale, told DailyMail.com that it is, 'troubling and disappointing that a story like this would be out there, obviously with zero basis'.

So how did he gain so much traction? None of the anti-gun groups, in particular, Moms Demand Action, bothered to fact check his story. He says he was a victim of a school shooting. Put him front and center!

Polachek's story first surfaced in February at a rally organized by Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America in support of Kentucky's gun safety education bill.

Police say his remarks were shared on social media and quoted in articles published by local news outlets, as well as global platforms including MSN and Yahoo News.

It seems like none of those other outlets did any fact checking either.
