I am ashamed. I am ashamed that I didn't do more to help aaron when he was alive. I am ashamed that I didn't reach out to him, donate money, donate time. I am ashamed that I've allowed this to go on, to go on in my name as an American.
I've always hated bullies, even as a kid. In elementary school I would come to the aid of those being abused. And over the years, I still get angry, but I so rarely do anything anymore. It's too big, too complex, too scary.
No more. It is time to shine light into the dark corridors of American power, to get personally involved. The only way for the abuse of power to continue is for us to ignore it.
