Tears of sadness over the lost lives. Tears of joy and hope from the inspiration of the youth. The grin is a carry over from Lamb's victory but it got bigger watching these kids.

It's great for our country. One day these kids will run this country. It will be a very different place then. I hope I am around to enjoy it. Cause it's going to be a great place to live.

They are sustaining their outrage and demanding change. I love them.
See they can put down their smart phones when necessary.
