still on this

I am so sad the last words she may have heard as she died were "Fuckin' Bitch." I wonder how many women have heard those very words because someone felt enraged that their perceived power wasn't being obeyed and deferred to.

The video from the ice agent is so chilling. And I think her last words were ‘I’m not mad at you’. Her partner was right next to the car so saw her wife killed. It’s just so much trauma. I can’t wrap my mind around it, really.

The idea of that saddens and infuriates me, too.

I'm heartened that so many refuse to accept the false and cruel narrative being promulgated by the regime. We saw; we know.

Her poor children. You know they're going to end up seeing that video someday. What are we doing in this country?

I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the video through to the end, but you're right, it's unbearable.

Like Steph, I cannot bring myself to watch. I know I should, we need to witness, but I can’t. But I am angry as all fuck.

I still find it so hard to believe that this happened. It is beyond tragic. I'm glad you were at the demo. If I'd not had guests, I would have been there. Make it stop.

I haven't watched the video, but read about it and already the images are in my head. I can't imagine the trauma of watching your spouse shot like that...

Nance, your last four words reminded me of 1984: "'The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

maya said...

No idea, Engie. No idea AT ALL.

I haven't watched the video, Steph, but there are detailed descriptions that are already terrifying enough. And yes, unbearable.

maya said...

I haven't watched the video either, J. I don't think we have to... I think we can make a case for protecting her privacy or our sanity as long as we stand witness to the injustice and show up to demand justice. I love your anger and you.

maya said...

Not even a year yet, Jeanie... Yes, please make it stop!
