These are friends of mine, they are people I care about


This is a lil background and synopsis,

tristan and gabby are good people, and friends,
they are in Palestine now protesting the occupation.

Tristan is one of the few people I know, and can count them all on one hand,
that

a. are engaged as community builders and or activists. Many other people i know are doing work/play lifestyle and that is fun and dandy, but lacks the real life challenges and deeper rewards.

b. that regularly find compassionate solutions in other peoples controversy's. Most suckas out there are glad to fight, as long as they are fighting the "Bad Guys"

Gabby and Tristan met during the berkeley treesit, They have been sweet on each other ever since. Gabby as an activist is passionate, seasoned, and generally cool under fire. Her voice when focused has both a depth and command. She's got presence.

Here is picture of them, they're sweet. and i care about them both.



Take a good look at Tristan's face, its not gonna look like that in this video below.



In the video Gabby is standing in the center of the scattered group trying to attend to Tristan.
The shot was fired from far away after the protest had wrapped up. Israel uses high velocity tear gas canisters. Very different from the ones your police department uses. Your police department uses non lethal projectiles to launch their non lethal tear gas. Israel uses lethal projectiles to deploy their non lethal tear gas. Kinda doesn't make sense right, unless your trying to brutalize people and act like its not really your fault.


Oh yeah, and this video is shocking and horrible, and bloody.

The doctors have cut out parts of his brain, the high velocity tear gas can punched bone into his brain. He wont see out of one of his eyes any more, and will have lots of rehabilitation to get any where close to what he was before. And he may still die, and he may be seriously brain damaged. Here is the article.

Killing them softly, these birds, my chicken friends..

I'm leaning toward the Stick and Poke method,
ya hit em in the head with a stick,
then cut the neck into a bowl,
then bleed em out, & make amends.

Stick and Poke, this vid shows the whole pluck and gut too.


The Chopping Block, the two nails are important to hold the head steady.


Break the Neck, this method seems pretty straight forward, but not to kind.


Bleeding the Neck, these cats mean business, plucking the neck alive.


Get Stupid! Go Dumb...
