Peace, Love, and Retaliation

2009-09-27T00:30:00.000-05:00

A group of 20 or so students gathered in the center of campus to protest the previous days happenings (the men preaching). They encouraged every student who passed by to write down on a piece of cardboard, something they believed in. One student said, "We're just here to show people their not going to go to hell if they don't believe in something."

"We just want to encourage people to love everyone."

The students called it a "love march"
