[quote=Anonymous]I think people are realizing that protesting is often dangerous business. We have forgotten those who died of the cause of Civil Rights. We have forgotten that overthrowing tyranny is rarely free of blood. We have seen it many times since, the blood, the beatings, but they have been in other places to other people. We have forgotten that the seed of our nation was watered with the blood of not yet Americans.

Too many people have bought into this Disneyfied version of humanity and have forgotten that it is always the meeting of human humans and all that they are capable of when each is locked into the “rightness” of their ideas. Renee is a victim of her own blindness, culture, white privilege and good intentions and the ICE agent a victim of the same. All the shoulds and coulds and woulds won’t bring her back to life.

One should consider that this is serious business. This is not Tik Tok or Hollywood. The blood is real. The threat is real. Renees death should make people angry but it should also serve as a reminder that there are few bloodless revolutions and before taking part, one should consider this and conduct and prepare themselves accordingly.
