The man who brought hope amongst the riots: whom bitter losers rushed to associate with terrorism; rather than defence of very frightened people who were let down by establishment they had long trusted. Scum associated him with terrorism, when all he strove to protect family and neighbours.
He adored Martin Luther King. Poisonous painted him with the hate they retained because he shamed them.
All the family were burying was a father who wanted peace and took steps to achieve and promote that.
I was there at the burial of a man who loved people, no matter who they hated.
