Some protesters inside the Tennessee State Capitol counted transgender shooter Audrey Hale among the victims during a moment of silence.
Protesters in the capitol held a moment of silence for those who lost their lives at Nashville’s Covenant Academy, but some disagreed on exactly how many victims there were.
While some protesters held up six fingers, commemorating the three children and three adults whose lives were taken at the horrific school shooting, others held up seven fingers, counting transgender shooter Audrey Hale among the victims.One protester remarked “Every death is a tragedy y’all. It’s seven lives.” Another protester commented, “I’d say there were seven victims.” Hale was stopped by two heroic Metro Nashville Police Department officers, Micahel Collazo and Rex Engelbert.
The demonstration became unruly when three young protesters linked arms and blocked a legislator inside a bathroom, preventing him from returning to the chamber. The protesters were moved by Tennessee State Troopers.Footage captured by Breitbart News moments before shows the legislator being escorted to the restroom by troopers as the anti-gun protesters screamed at him.
