It hurt my heart, and I wept to see men and women standing in front of those masked soldiers in green whose hard eyes darted back and forth across the crowd, watching normal, everyday men and women saying, over and over 'we love you guys. We are fighting for you. We are sorry you have to make this choice. Please, we are fighting for you, for your rights, for your children's rights, for your grandparents and parents. We love you. We love you. We will never hurt you, we will never raise a finger towards you. We will take anyone away who tries to hurt or push you. We love you. We love you, ' in a constant stream.
Watching a video where mounted police urged their horses into the crowd, trampling two people, my heard dropped.
The world has the opportunity to see what is happening here...if they will only pick up the EDGE of the narrative, and peek beyond it. This is something I've never seen in my lifetime, peaceful, non-violent, dignified, courageous protest. The truckers have won. They have showed the world what is possible, and what standing up to tyranny looks like, in real time. May we all use that knowledge with courage and take up the standard.
Well said.My heart is heavy today.
