From what I understand, people were planning to protest the vigil.
This is not true. People wanted to plan a protest (she even said protest wasn't a good word choice) to bring attention to Aleah's case. Nothing was ever said by the original poster that it was to protest the vigil. It's like those FB pages are a big game of telephone. The "protest" suggestion was to be done with signs to remind people and LE that Aleah is still missing, and she cannot be forgotten. This was independent of the vigil, and not once was it said or suggested by the poster to protest the vigil. But, someone started that rumor, and it took off like wildfire. I had to leave all the FB groups because it is by worse the craziest I have ever seen, and I've seen some bizarre stuff.
