Victor Perez, 17, who also had cerebral palsy, had been in a coma since the April 5 shooting, and tests Friday showed that he had no brain activity, his aunt, Ana Vazquez, told The Associated Press. He had undergone several surgeries, with doctors removing nine bullets and amputating his leg.

The shooting outraged Perez’s family and Pocatello residents, and about 200 people attended a vigil Saturday morning outside the Pocatello hospital where he was treated. Another crowd of protesters gathered outside the Pocatello City Hall building, which also houses the police department, on Saturday afternoon. Police snipers were stationed on a nearby rooftop during the protest, though no violence was reported. Many of the protesters held signs with phrases like, “Do better, PPD” and “Justice for Victor,” and passing cars honked in acknowledgment.

Why are you yelling at this two month old comment? Yes, life is inherently precarious for all living things, I don't understand what point you are making. I feel safe because death is inevitable and I live the best I can.

Because I hate you all for refusing to give an entire profession the benefit of the doubt.

I hate humans, but you don't see me going around telling people that their mild lack of trust is not enough of a lack of trust.

If this post mattered two months ago but not now, it never mattered. Fuck you assholes.

What is the 'benefit of the doubt' you want me to give? I'm talking about a system, a bourgoisie state protected by militarized security forces, that is what the police are. Their primary function is the protection of capital and the capitalists in control of the state. Plenty of cops are honorable and wonderful people, it is the state that is the bastard.

To me, that's what you are. You benefit from me not being allowed to hurt you for not being hurt while I suffered for years. Social media, even federated social media, exists to protect people who want me gone because it's more fucking convenient. I hate you all.

What do you mean? What are you suffering from? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm not sure what you mean. If you are talking about disabilities I have a disability, I have suffered immensely, only heartless people want you gone. I don't want you or anyone to have to suffer. I am sorry if what I said was hurtful.
