The Eric Sheppard thing is freaking bizarre.
He walks on a flag in a protest. I don’t like it, but it is protected speeh.
He brings a gun on campus in a backpack apparently (something the NRA and most white Georgia citizens seem to think is okay for people of the right color)

… and now he is being portrayed as an armed and dangerous terrorist.

This is the same state that sent a black woman to prison on a 20 year sentence for firing a warning shot in the air to keep her abusive husband away from her…

Also, Valdosta is Klan country.
