“I don’t have a doubt in my mind that they tried to kill me,” says Frank Hunt of Richmond Virginia, who was struck by a foam round and lost most vision in his left eye. Hunt still suffers from insomnia and paranoia. @wilsands for @MotherJones. bit.ly/3rQiyXL 
“It’s ironic as hell that I was protesting something and that same thing happens to me,” says John Sanders of Sandusky, OH. Sanders was hospitalized and underwent three surgeries after being shot by a bean bag round. Wil Sands for @MotherJones. bit.ly/3rQiyXL
Soren Stevenson of Minneapolis, MN answered the call for white bodies to move to the front of a march, and was blinded by a plastic round. After his injury, it took Stevenson nearly a year to find work. @wilsands for @MotherJones. bit.ly/3rQiyXL
Join us next Thursday, March 3 at 1pm EST for "A Closer Look at Less Lethal Weapons." RSVP: bit.ly/3rPHbUe
