‘Mostly Peaceful’ Ohio Teens Skip School, Trash Grocery Store in Anti-ICE Melee – RedState


It seems like not a day goes by lately that we don’t hear about students dropping out of school and taking to the streets to protest US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They are encouraged by Democrats, teachers unions, and paid activists as our education system continues to decline. A shame.
Even though Democrats love to say that most of these protests are “peaceful,” they suddenly become blindsided when they are not. I doubt any of them have the courage to make a statement about this chaos, carried out by our perfect little indoctrinated student angels:
A video of students wreaking havoc Wednesday at a Cincinnati Kroger after leaving school for an alleged anti-ICE protest has gone viral.
In the video, taken by McAdrian Martin, who was shopping at the time of the incident, students ran through the aisles and threw objects at the ceiling of the store. Martin said they were cans of beer and other adult beverages that had been snatched from shelves.
A security guard yelled at the students to get out of the store.
“It said ‘F ICE,'” a customer told Martin in the video, apparently referring to a sign held by one of the protesters. “They just came here and went to the beer section and threw our beers.”
Watch:
To “protest” ICE, a group of high school students in Cincinnati, Ohio, skipped school and looted a Kroger.

Lefties claim that children do all this on their own, but no one believes them.
Students walked out of schools in the North College Hill School City District to protest ICE, part of an ongoing national trend that left-wing activists say is student-led.
The school condemned the behavior in a Facebook post, even including a link to the now-viral video.
“This video is disturbing and the parents and families of these students should be embarrassed,” the post said, adding that the school would work with the North College Hill Police Department to “identify these students so they can be held accountable for their disorderly behavior.”

Martin, the person who filmed the video, said the students damaged the store and injured at least one person who, although not seriously injured, was “very upset.”
“I think whoever is responsible for the chaos should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the court,” Martin said. “It’s not safe for the environment. It’s not safe for customers. It’s not safe for people. So whoever is responsible for this and whoever came to the store should be held accountable by law.”
As long as Democrats continue to support left-wing violence and skipping school, I unfortunately don’t expect Martin’s wish to be granted.
Editor’s note: Democrats are fanning the flames and raising the pitch by comparing ICE to the Gestapo, fascists and the secret police.
