A few days ago my sibling told me they were going to the big protest in our town (keep in mind this was before the troops were given the O.K. to shoot at protestors)

I told him to be careful and that I'd be worried about him when he eventually went. Earlier today my mother gets a call saying that by sibling was shot just above the eye with a rubber bullet.

Obviously, hearing this news threw me into a big anxiety attack-- one one hand because I didn't know how bad their injury was-- and on the other hand that they even got hurt in the first place. It's not their own fault of course not- I just.

God I hope their recovery goes well, they're currently staying at a trusted friend's house and when the injury was inflicted they luckily got quick treatment which I'm so thankful for.

As of now I'm still not sure how bad it is but they've got a nasty bruise that looks like it won't be going away for a long while. If wanted I'll keep this thread updated. I just wanted to let it out, this worry won't go away until I hear more good news.
