I met a woman who was at Kent State (with her sister) when they fired on students. She was very young at the time, about 16. She was definitely not doing anything illegal or violent.

She showed me the deep scar in her arm where a bullet hit her. A slight turn and she might have been killed.

WTF is an ILLEGAL PROTEST?

Nobody but white-supremacist groups are participating in "illegal" protests (bringing guns, slapping people, blocking traffic)!
