Did Emma Gonzáles of "March for our Lives" fame attack a truck using a umbrella? Despite what a meme would have you believe it is not true.
We found a copy of the image in a post on America's Last Line Of Defense's Facebook page, published on March 28, 2018 with the caption "She has to be stopped!" (archived here). The image appeared to show Gonzáles smashing a car window under the caption:
