[Excerpt:]
Bambi: If I close my eyes I can still hear the crunch of his bones and all the screams. The tear gas truck was there and this kid came out running out of nowhere and the cops didn’t stop, they went faster. He was run over. ppl were screaming, throwing rocks, I was frozen, I didn’t know what to do, I saw it from faraway cos I was scared that the tear gas truck was going to run over me too. I went home, my legs trembling the whole time.
