Utter, a Loras College student, was among about 75 people Sunday who marched to University of Dubuque for a rally against gun violence.

Will go to a white neighborhood and rail against the NRA and tell them also that more gun laws are needed. He should go to a black neighborhood and give them that speech minus the NRA rant.

That is a hooter of a comment! At least the idiocy and inane on display seems limited to a few college girls and not the general public.
