"someone ended it all before it could even start." - Carlos, Kohen's grandfather.

"Family say the aunt was driving the car and the mother was in the front passenger seat holding her child when the shooting happened."

a mother went to the grocery store with her 1 year old child and. the cops. murdered her baby boy. he was in her arms. in her arms. in her arms.

the cop who did this does not deserve to live. Kohen should still be alive. despicable. beyond words. there are no words anymore. the hatred of Black people is a plague on the world.

may Kohen's spirit find peace and be reborn to his mothers arms in another life. may his family grieve together in peace. fuck the colonial entity known as the United States.

Kohen Wiley, the slain child, was in the car at the center of the shooting on Sunday alongside his mother and her friend, said Marquell Bridges, a local community advocate who is helping the family find legal representation. Kohen’s mother was physically unharmed, but her friend was seriously injured, said Bridges, the president and founder of an advocacy group called the Building Bridges Coalition.

Apparently a community rally was organized in Senatobia (video of protest included at that link) & the family has legal council.

To Öcalan, there are two rivers flowing throughout all of human history. One is the river of Capitalist Modernity (state), and the other the river of Democratic Modernity (society). No matter how long or how much Capitalist Modernity remains dominant, the river of Democratic Modernity flows through every act of personal and community resistance.

Unlike other models of socialism, Öcalan does not believe society needs to "evolve" to a certain point to reach Democratic Modernity. It is always waiting within us, and it can rise up at any time.
