The Angel of Death is a common visitor to some parts of our world. His routine stops for the elderly or very young in war. War is what we have here. On the eve of the commemoration of our national inception a young man was shot dead for nothing. This yards from where I now sit.
This has happened several times in the last 18 month here. Random un-considered pointless oblivion.
We still don't know the trail of events that led this this. All that we are aware of is that death has come again. This is America now. Angry fearful armed America.
I've just come from bearing witness, and standing with my neighbors as a mother weeps hysterically cops impassively stand at the edges, and the people shift uncomfortably.
So we stand. Till next time.
