NEVER FORGET. Thank you, as much as you can imagine, for Mike Fanone's story. First, i related to his being in a wine bar and ordering beer. After that i mostly just teared, had another glass of wine (yeah, just happened to be having a couple today), and teared some more.
"Perhaps most indelibly, Fanone offered his take on the rioters who’d heeded his pleas for mercy. “A lot of people have asked me my thoughts on the individuals in the crowd that helped me,” he drawled. “I think the conclusion I’ve come to is, like, thank you”—here he paused and squinted—“but f-ck you for being there.”"
I was not surprised to see Joan Baez picked that up. Who of any desirable degree of humanity's empathy wouldn't have.
"What Mike Fanone Can't Forget"
and nobody else in the world lucky enough to have known about Jan.6 should ever forget it.
