A difficult story to share (and I imagine) a difficult one to write. Will be thinking about this one for a long time. Very well done by @janapruden.bsky.social.
Dudley Green stood in front of the driver in the Vancouver attack, and protected him from an angry, distraught crowd.
“He needs to die,” one of the men said. “I don’t disagree,” Mr. Green told him. “But now is not the time.”
