1 Down


Bullet to the heart

            Hands up in surrender

White flag of peace

            But he's going under

Childhood rebellion

            Fighting back

Talking back

           Disrespect

No adult in the situation

           At least not through the actions shown

Bullet wound

          Battlefield

At least 6 shots fired

          Undeserved death

Injustice at noon

          1=2 not true

Another life lost

          RIP mike brown

And all the others
