Questions
1. How would you feel like one of your family members died during a protest?
2. If a law effected you or your family woud you protest about it and would it be violent or peaceful?
I would feel sad and mad because I would lose someone that I cared about and mad because people do not need to die in protest and I just think it is stupid if people do.
It would depend on how the law effected my family and if it was bad and the government would not do anthing about it I would protests violently because something would need to get changed in order for me to stop.

Your summary is very similar to the CNN article. Be sure to make it more of your own.
I would be obviously very upset with the situation. I would also wonder why my parents died during a measly protest. I would not know weather or not to portest about it or not. It would obviously be a peaceful protest.
Its depends on the type of protest, If it was an NRA walk for our guns or in support of our Military, than I would be very proud that a member of my family sacraficed their life for something that they believed in, BUT, if its was a march against guns or against our military, than really wouldn't give a hoot.
2. No, I'd never protest my boi Trump Daddy.
I would probably not protest the law becasue it was decided by our government. I would protest if it was somehting really big like our freedom but not if it was something small.
I would be very sad at first and then become angry. I lost someone that I cared about and that someone killed them when they were peacfully protesting. I don't think that people should die during a protest or even get injured.
This is terrible. Protest are suppose to nonviolent and they are just suppose to be so you can speak or go up againts your opinion, in hoping for a change. If I were ever in a protest, I would not ever get violent. If I ever did, I would be putting myself, my family, and others around me in danger.
I would be very sad if one of my family members died during a protest. If a law did affect me or my family I would protest but protest peacefully because I wouldnt want anyone to get hurt in the process.
If given the news that a family member died during the protest the only thing i would feel would be a great amount of grief, depending on how the law affects me or my family if positive nothing if negative i'd always go for the peaceful route.
I agree with you on how you would feel because i would feel the same way and there is nothing that you can change about that. Ya most people would perfer the peacefu route but others would try and do something about it.
If one of my family members died during a protest, I would be very upset especially since it was supposed to be a peaceful protest. If I felt strongly about the law, I would probably protest, but otherwise I wouldn't do anything about it because it could turn out badly. I wouldn't participate in anything other than peaceful protest.
