I Was Petrified Because All My Friends Would Be Going To Washington, Dc, To Protest. I Was Sixteen, And I Was Like, "i Don't Think I'll Be Going With You Guys," Just Because I Was Scared. Then You Saw The News, And Cops - Not Students In Schools With Guns - Cops Are Killing Sixteen Year Old Protesters On The News. To Me That Was More Horrifying, To Have The Authority Figures Actually Killing People On The Evening News, Than To Have Another Student Firing A Gun.
