Today I saw the photo of an older man getting punched out in St. Louis. He was part of a group who had gathered around the statue of Louis IX on Art Hill to defend it against a mob who had been trying to tear it down. Many of the group were Catholics, since Louis is a Catholic saint, and they had recited the Rosary. The man depicted in the photo is being mobbed by several of the approaching activists at once. One of them is sucker punching him from behind, about to deliver a solid right hook to the man's face as he bends to protect himself.
When I saw the photo, my first thought was: if only I could have been to take the punch for you, brother.
