Yes, Rémi was only 21 and had a long life ahead of him.

Yes, Rémi was shot in the back with a grenade, just like Carlo Giuliani was shot in the back during the 2001 anti-G8 protests in Genoa, an event that led to unfettered rioting.

Yes, Rémi was fighting for a noble cause; the protection of the land that he loved from total destruction, and the defense of all creatures from the onslaught of climate change.

With all due respect to Rémi Fraisse’s family and friends, let’s take a moment to mourn, while sharpening our rage and tears about the incidents that led to the death of ZADist Rémi Fraisse into a concentrated analysis for the time being.
