Just awful, awful.
Who are you all suing at this point?
They could have just given up and then- It wasn't just them, you guys, it was all of you.
And it was brilliant in the film, the way the days were ticked off, right?
And I thought that was so powerful, just, you know,
like it's amazing that they just kept going and going and going and going, and you all kept showing up and showing up and fighting for these kids.
I hope that our listeners, when they listen, they've either seen the film, I want them to understand the restorative justice that I hadn't heard of before the film, which is when you all,
with these boys that had hazed your son to death, went with you to, well, first of all, they had a watch, and then they went with you all to different schools to talk about it and to own what they had done, which I thought was so powerful, right?
And I thought was, and I know that after they didn't have to do that anymore, at least that's at the end of the film, I don't know if they've reached out to you all since,
but they stopped showing up.
And I don't, I can't, obviously I can't speak to that.
I don't really know these kids, but I thought it was so powerful to have them there and to take responsibility.
Maybe even, maybe, I don't know, even more so than if they had gone to prison or been punished in a different way.
Were you nervous to do that?
I don't know how much public speaking you had done in the past.
Yes, you most certainly are.
You most certainly are.
I mean, honestly, there were times where I know you couldn't even speak there.
I watched, you know, that it was hard to get up there.
But whenever you did speak, it was powerful.
