@its_The_Dr They run because they are detained regardless of their imigration status. It can take weeks or even months to wait for a hearing even if you are legal. Leaving the job site is no proof they are illegal. You are ignorant of the realities that your white privilege affords you.

My name is Kristin Song.
On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.
At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.
I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.
The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.
So I did.
6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.
Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.
In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.
When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.
Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.
I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

Nate Green, a former teammate and good friend, recently lost his wife. I know the Dayton fan base is one of the best and tries to look after their own. Anything will help, thank you in advance

@flight3026933@CoachAmyDonovan I simply don’t believe you. However, let’s say the 10 programs that legitimately compete for a championship every year care about it, then that is 150 scholarships out of thousands. Their programs flourish because of their budget and tradition.
Sen. Mitt Romney on Marjorie Taylor Greene's call for a national divorce: "What kind of foolishness is that? We fought a war over that. Abraham Lincoln was the founder of our party. Why would a Republican ever say something as silly as that?"
