I found out this morning that the young woman protestor in my city killed by a driver (the driver deliberately went the wrong way on an exit ramp to enter the freeway which was blocked off by police barricade, and rammed the crowd) was a dear friend of my daughter in high school. I’m just heartbroken. So much grief this year.
