A College Student Joined The Insurrection And Stole A Sign
She thought she was making history
It was a bad decision to invade the Capitol
When you look at the backgrounds of some of the Trump followers who illegally entered the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021, it seems understandable that they were there. They were devoted to Trump and following his lead. They were people who attended his rallies whenever he spoke. They listened to his every word.
It may be confusing why some college students, military veterans, and business people would be there to join the riots. There were racial minorities and immigrants who were at the rally for Trump on that day. The fact that these people supported Trump is not the surprising part. The unfortunate issue is that many of them made bad choices to enter the Capitol and became criminals on that day. Their actions were destructive and illegal.
It is not known how many college students were present at the Capitol. There were some.
A college student from West Virginia apparently traveled the short distance from her home to the Capitol. She was a student at the University of Kentucky, studying mathematical economics.
I studied economics…
