My son made the local Newspaper
His sentiments were shared by self-identified ANTIFA member Tyler Charles Gardiner, 29, of Captain Cook, who wore all-black and a face covering and opted to attend the Hilo protest instead of the Kona one because the latter would’ve been “too hot.”
“We fought Nazis back when they took over Germany,” Gardiner said, “and we’ll fight them here, too.”
He said that a sense of empowerment, and a commitment to peaceful protest, motivated him to attend the rally.
“I want to oppose Trump in the most peaceful way possible and tell him that we are sick of him and there’s more of us than him, and he just needs to go,” he said. “It feels empowering, and it makes me feel like we are gonna make a difference finally. People are starting to wake up, they’re starting to realize he has lied to us, everything that he has said is not true and just a cover-up for his own terroristic crimes.”

Thanks for your kind words 
His dad has Norwegian ancestry
His dad and I both have Scottish and Irish ancestry mostly.
what a Rebellious mix.
Swedish, German and Native American on his dad's side. Norwegian, Scottish, Dutch and English on my side. Lol In other words, 99 percent Northern European and probably all of them have Viking blood I bet.

Pictures are at the bottom of this post.
I see you were wearing your earrings
No, creating the DU postable pics wasn't a pain at all. The only one that was more work than the basic was the first one that I decided to rotate and didn't know how right away.
You can post any of these simply by right-clicking on a picture. Up should pop up a little menu with choices, including "Copy Image" and "Copy Image Link"
Click on "Copy Image Link" (NOT on "Copy Image" )
That will put the link in your system's clipboard for later pasting.
Then in any DU post that you are creating or editing, put the mouse in the spot you want to put the picture, and do Control V (or right click and choose "Paste" ).
The above is how I do it on a regular Windows 10 desktop computer. I've never done a tablet and I've never tried to do any of this on my phone.
The same trick works on any picture you see on DU no matter how it was posted (not just Imgur posts).
The "Notes to myself" part in https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1011&pid=5072
was just to myself in case anyone asked how I did it. Or to myself in the case of the first image which I didn't know how to rotate until I figured it out, and then I didn't do a very good job because it has a lot of white space below with the funny green arrow in the lower right.
Anyway, I knew the "notes to myself" would not be meaningful to most people unless they had experience with Imgur. And only somewhat understandable to people using other posting services. Some people use other posting services, like imgBB, postImg, and many others. Some people use tools other than the Windows Snipping Tool.
