You can run but you cannot hide anymore...

You sit down.
And then you're asked to move.
To accommodate other passengers.

Somebody thinks you're not as important.
Somebody thinks you'll go away.
You will place your tail between your legs and listen.
Force will be on you if you don't.

Cell phones capture the video.
And the world reacts negatively toward the injustice.

Interestingly enough, this wasn't the first time something like this has happened.
It's the first time, we saw it on Facebook.
It's the first time, it went viral on Youtube.

Injustices happen everyday.
Toward different races.
Toward different classes.
Toward different genders.

Cell phones have made these injustices more visible.
Social media have allowed them to be shared quickly.
And the world thinks that this is the first time?

When it has happened many times before.
It happened to a tired woman in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955.
They threw her in jail.
And the world finally woke up to the inequalities of race.

It happened in 1991 to a man who was in a high speed chase with police.
They beat the snot out of him.
Someone filmed the beating.
And the world realized that civil rights was still a problem.

It happened in 2017 at a McDonalds in Moncton, NB.
A special needs teenager bumped into a Meathead fresh from his special juice bar.
The Meathead traumatized the kid with his size and menacing arms.
The kid cried.
The mother was speechless.
Everyone watched and no one thought to take a video with their pocket cameras.
The Meathead ordered his meal without reprieve.
The kid will have nightmares of this monster for the rest of his life.

And no one did anything about the injustice for fear of their own safety.
Not even a single cell phone video.
My kids saw it happen and they were afraid of what the Juice head was going to do.
I'm glad I wasn't there that day, but I secretly wish I would have been to take a video of it
My heart hurts for that kid.

Somebody thinks you're not as important.
Somebody thinks you're going to go away.
You're going to put your tail between your legs and listen.
Force will be on you if you don't.

When we see injustice, it is our job to capture the video.
The tyrants, whether they be law enforcement, bus drivers, bullies, meatheads or corporations need to learn the world is now watching them and holding them accountable for their injustices.

The beasts of our society should not be allowed to hide in obscurity when they treat others in an inexcusable manner.

Our voice may be lost.
Our courage may be squandered.
But our phones can record.
