“In the early days of August, a poor, queer, black and female Jesus took up a cross and faced with tanks, teargas, and rubber bullets.

Night after night all but consumed in bellowing teargas clouds, a cry from the wildness could be heard: “Fuck the Police.” Religious leaders were more concerned with young people’s profanity than the profane conditions they lived in. Early in the morning, lowly and angry, they still rose. If there is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood, then Michael Brown’s blood may be our salvation.”

This is from a while ago (obviously) but it’s so beautifully written.
