Ferguson won't go in history. History is written by the victors, and unless you plan on doing something real and active in this situation, it won't be you. Get over the fact that people do not care that another person got shot. People being murdered is not uncommon. Stop glorifying the event of one person being shot. It will happen again.

in regards to this post

but that’s my whole point. if we let this thing die out, we won’t be able to tell it how it happened, because it won’t be told. i’m trying to do something about it by speaking on a more public and open platform like social media because it’s the best way i can get my foot in the door: i can say something.

i’m angry about this starting to die out because it’s something that got people riled up. i get that this happens tragically often, but if this loses the eye of the media and the public in general then who knows how long we might have to wait until something picks up steam again. i want to make sure we don’t lose sight of what’s keeping us fighting for what’s right for one goddamn second, and the easiest way for me to do that, as an individual in my circumstances is to get my voice heard.
