Hey hey talkers,
May 20, 2001 will mark the 4th anniversary of the tragic death of Esequiel Hernandez. Esequiel's death is unique in that both he and the Marine who fired the fatal shot arevictims of the unintended consequences of the war on drugs.
I blame not the Marine but the government policy that puts innocent American soldiers on American soil to wage war upon other innocent Americans. This tragedy occurring was just a question of "when & who" but not "whether."
Esequiel has a memorial gallery (created by MAP webmaster Matt Elrod for the DPF Texas website) which now resides on the Media Awareness Project at http://www.mapinc.org/hernandez/ .
Let not the drug war's victims like Esequiel Hernandez and Peter McWilliams (among so many others) be forgot, for their deaths are no less tragic today than when they occurred.
take care --- peace --- ashley in atlanta
