(5,122 posts)My heart aches for him and his family. I find myself wondering about what was he thinking in the last moments of his life. He knew he had to fight for his life, but he must have been terrified. Did he think about his mom like George Floyd? Why cant these hateful people see black people as someones son, someones brother, someones friend, someones spouse, someones neighbor.
His life mattered.
One of the things that touched me when this was first reported, a neighbor saying, he was known for running and she could time him because her home monitor would ping as he ran by her house and she would say there goes Ahmaud. She broke down and cried when she saw how his last run ended. He would wave to another neighbor as he went on his runs. His life mattered.
