Over 100 students at Grand Ledge High School outside of Lansing walked out in support of 2nd Amendment rights today.
Organizers say the 2nd Amendment is a right that should not be tampered with. They also used the opportunity to recognize Veterans, who also participated along side the students.
(Kudos to the LSJ for covering the event and being fair, one of the only outlets to do so)
According to the Lansing State Journal:
"Close to 100 students at Grand Ledge High School walked out of class Wednesday morning in a show of support for the Second Amendment.
"I believe we need weapons to protect from other weapons," said Hunter Barnes, a 16-year-old sophomore. He believes the right to bear arms is vital to protect against those who would do harm.
The walkout was part of a nationwide "Stand for the Second" event planned for Wednesday. The local event was organized by Grand Ledge senior Zach Bell, who used a megaphone to announce moments of silence for police and members of the armed services. Students were joined near the flagpole outside the school by members of the American Legion-VFW Post 3293 Honor Guard, led by veteran Dale Walters.
"We are for your rights," Walters told the students gathered. "You guys are the next line of defense, think about what rights we have and how you can defend them."

If the media was "silent", how could you link to media coverage of the event?
ReplyDeleteYou're no longer even trying to make sense.
But it's good enough for trump voters, right?
Yeah, because even a few hours after the event only like two media Outlets had covered it, there are a hundred of media outlets in Michigan, but I hope ignorance is bliss for you buddy

DeleteThe media was certainly silent about this Michigan-based story in my corner of the state.
DeleteThey could find the time to write about Garry Frank having a hissy-fit on the air or deranged skinheads running around with Cuban flags on their jackets, but Heaven-forbid they let us know that there are Michigan-based H.S. students who feel so strongly about protecting 2A!
God bless those kids in Grand Ledge! And God bless whoever is teaching them something besides the Liberal line. They are on their way to knowing how to think for themselves.
