Like most kiwis, I am horrified over the death of George Floyd.
Like many kiwis, I am horrified over the riots that followed.
I've watched cities burn, along with unimaginable acts of looting and violence.
But I felt mostly safe, as a voyeur from afar.
Then a sick twist of irony struck. George Floyd is to be buried in a cemetery less than 2 miles from my house.
Sure, it's a private service, but the addresses are all over the news.
The police station is across the street from the cemetery. The fuck do you think all these out-of-state joggers are gonna do after the burial?
IS MY WHITE PRIVILEGE SHOWING YET?
