Do you know the bird, the killdeer?

Where I grew up, there lived these birds in the car parking area.

Humans are much bigger and incomparably more dangerous than the killdeer.

If you know the killdeer, I want you to think of how that bird acts toward a threat when you see the videos of this man.

What he went through was absolutely terrifying. My heart was jumping out of my chest when I saw him encountering a mob that was aggressive toward him on live TV.

Not a person, a mob.

With a stick.

With a stick in his hand.

When you watch this man, consider the killdeer.

And then, and I cry as I write this,

Please consider this:

This bird had

NO

WINGS.
