Good on her! And boy, is she scaring a bunch of old white guys. A kid. A teenager.

You go, girl!

1. I really admire this young lady-Go Emma

[MontanaMama]

2. The strength and self assurance

to stand in silence at the DC march in front of a million people was incredibly powerful. I'm in awe of Emma.

[MineralMan]

3. She's a special person. I hope she continues

to present a public face. I'd give her a big hug if I got a chance.

4. yeah... she knew it was making the crowd uncomfortable, yet persisted. That IS HARD!

but also poignant, and highly impactful.

5. A bisexual, liberal woman of color.

Nightmare for conservative America.

[MineralMan]

6. And a strong young woman, too.

Conservatives hate strong women.

9. They like loud, subservient women.

Sarah Palin, for example.

7. Her backstory is one you see in movies

She's the person who made the best of a terrible situation and rose up. Somewhere else, I heard her compared to Katniss Everdeen (Hunger Games).

8. Katniss Everdeen is a fictional character.

Emma Gonzalez is real and is making history.

10. Hence why I said her backstory is one you see in TV and movies

If someone did a superhero movie with the hero(ine) with her backstory, it would be believable.

11. I wonder if her close-cropped hair will become a thing among students.

Like their adult counterparts, students mimic the style of those they admire. I can see a whole generation of kids with Marine haircuts.

12. She is very smart and poised.

She has a big future ahead of her is she stays smart and disciplined. All of the Parkland kids that have spoken out are smart and poised, their parents should be proud of the job they did raising them.

13. I saw an interview with her parents.

She is scaring them to death. She us just 18. They said she us still really young and they are running along beside her trying to make sure she doesn't fall.

She decided to cut off all her hair because it was too heavy and hot. She looks really good that way.
