from Whiteface

81.   What if next time we wore a black suit?

82.   And shiny black shoes.

83.   A white priest collar around our throats.

84.   When you say, Showmeyourhands! Getontheground!

85.   We could say, Hail Mary, full of grace . . .

86.   What if next time we paint our faces white?

87.   Like a happy clown.

88.   Say we were on our way to wave at kids with our machetes.

89.   From the edge of the woods.

90.   Near a playground.

91.   Near a house.

92.   Near a school.

93.   This person has the right to remain breathing.

94.   Anything they say can and will be used against them in a court of law.

95.   They have the right to an attorney.

96.   If they cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for them.

97.   Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?

98.   With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to us?
