I was talking to my grandmother when the news came in, we were talking on the phone when she gasped and became silent. My grandmother began to shout and cry over the phone with me while she rushed to turn on the tv.
My grandmother cried over the phone with me over this. “For the first time ever, change is finally coming.” Mind you, THIS WOMAN HAS BEEN THROUGH HELL. She was born within the fucking fifties and seen the worse of the worse. She’s seen her friends go missing, her grandmother being beaten by officers for wanting change! She was one of the first students to integrate schools in my hometown and she was ridiculed by her fellow friends for wanting a great education.
When George’s case was handed to the jury, she held her breath. She held her breath because we’ve been disappointed left and right, day and night, over and over again. For her to cry and say ‘This is the change I wished to finally see’ is fucking powerful. No man deserved what happened to George like it did, NO ONE! I hope that bastard rots in jail and I hope the rest follows with him.
Kim White can rot.
The bastards that shot a innocent Adam Toledo.
AND THOSE BASTARDS THAT FUCKING SPRAYED JOE GUTIERREZ.
Give us the justice we fucking deserve!
