Alex gave his life so that others could be safe and free. His life was taken by mad men in masks to assure that he and all other fellow protesters in the streets would never enjoy the right to be free. They killed Alex in cold blood for the entire world to see and lied about how it happened though we could see the truth with our own two eyes. The Dictator who gives his men the right to kill will never stop our fight to be free in our own country. All I see is ICE pointing guns at people protesting peacefully. Alex helped a woman who was knocked down and he was pulled to the ground, beaten, and murdered by wild men holding guns. He never touched a gun or harmed anyone. Helping another human being was his only concern. The masked men who held guns killed him and now have blood on their hands. We are funding this with our tax dollars! Our tax dollars are being spent on killing our own citizens? Alex didn’t have to die. He was executed right before our eyes. Our tax dollars should never be spent on a government that lies and kills the very people who they are protecting. They are destroying our democracy and our human rights. The Trump Administration has a licence to kill and they must be stopped in the name of freedom and justice. Alex was holding a camera not a gun. He only wanted peace and love. Soon they will say our cameras are weapons.
The Gift of Freedom

Hello: I am a writer who directs your attention to life in the 'now'. My most recent masterpiece is Losing the Boomer Blues. This whimsical story is about 3 old friends traveling back in time to lose their boomer blues. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and fell in love with writing at a very early age. I have written many short stories and poems down through the years. I've won awards but more than that I have won the hearts of my readers. I became a member of the Oakland Art Association in the late '90s and devoted many years to creating collage art but never stopped writing. I decided to start writing Losing the Boomer Blues in 2016 and finished writing it in August of 2018. It was with great pride that I self-published it in October of 2018. This charming story appeals not only to my baby boomer counterparts but to those of all ages who find the Summer of Love a quest for peace, freedom, and equality. The struggle for unity will never die. We are the United States. Divided is an impossibility. View more posts
