A young protester narrowly avoided being killed but was left permanently blind in one eye after a Department of Homeland Security agent fired a nonlethal round at close range during a Santa Ana protest last week, according to family of the victim.
My cynical take is in 20 years you’ll have a day of remembrance and in 80 years your grandchildren will have official apologies, unless this current administration ends doesn’t get thrown out within 5 years - then it will take even longer. My less cynical take is that these people aren’t losing their lives or ability to see because they want official recognition or honour, they want freedom because that’s the thing really matters. I do agree though, once the freedom (and rule of law) is back, these people definitely deserve some kind of official recognition or honour.
