#YesImAChristian tag draws attention to religion in shooting

After the mass shooting at a community college in Oregon, many people have taken part of a social media movement that supports Christians. #YesImAChristian was all over Twitter recently as well as people changing their profile pictures on social media. This all started on Thursday when a gunman asked Umpqua Community College students if they were Christians. For those that said they were a Christian, he told them they would “see God in just about one second” before he opened fire. 9 people were killed from the shooting. On Friday, the hashtag #YesImAChristian flooded social media. People believe that a shooting like this shows that persecution does happen in the United States and not just other countries. This movement is a way for people to show their support for all Christians. Many well-known conservative figures have showed their support for this movement and tweeted about. A few of those people include: Laura Ingraham, Ben Carson, and Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey.
