MARCH 24, 2018
9:57 AM
On Saturday, the student survivors of the horrific shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, arrived at the March For Our Lives in Washington, D.C. There, they were met with overwhelming cheers of support and gratitude from the crowd.
As heard in video shared by CBS4s Lauren Pastrana on Twitter, attendees of the March chanted, Thank you, as the students poured into a blocked-off section close to the stage thats reserved for them.

The March was organized by a group of students who survived the massacre, during which 17 of their classmates, teachers, and coaches were killed. In the wake of the shooting, the students started the #NeverAgain movement fighting against gun violence, standing up for school safety, and demanding stricter gun-control laws. They are the ones who sort of sparked this movement, and they will get a front row seat to this historic event today, Pastrana said in the video.

I used to go to marches and rallies a lot, locally or in D.C. or NYC or wherever I get to. Now I own a small business so I can't go. Instead, I sit here behind the counter on these Saturdays, watching it happen online, weeping with hope. Fortunately the vast majority of my customers understand why, and are simpatico. LOL.
Aaah, these kids today...
