No more guns: Protesters escorted out of Paul Ryan fundraiser in Key Biscayne
Source: Miami Herald
Two protesters chanting no more guns were removed from a Republican fundraiser in Key Biscayne Friday night after confronting Speaker of the House Paul Ryan about the mass shooting that happened days earlier and miles up the road.
This is @SpeakerRyans version of Thoughts and Prayers. Odd, it looks like a donor event in the tropics, an activist tweeted, along with a video of people milling about on an outdoor patio.

Ryan tweeted that the Wednesday shooting, which left 17 people dead and 15 wounded, was pure evil.
Maria Thorne, a Key Biscayne activist, said she noticed motorcade traffic clogging up her commute home from her job as a fifth grade teacher at iPrep Academy, where she spent the day reassuring scared students that she could keep them safe from a shooter.

Maria Thorne then goes to the fundraiser, and introduces herself to Ryan, who says, "Nice." She replies, "Nice. You're celebrating the deaths of 17 children."
God bless Maria Thorne!

Sorry we crashed your donor party, @SpeakerRyan, but seriously.. A PARTY 48 hours after the #Parkland massacre?
As the teacher you're talking to in this photo said before your security guys had her and the scary pediatrician lady tossed, "No More Guns!!"
