It Wounds My Soul

 
A Facebook friend and Putin apologist suggests to me that Alexei Navalny's death was just a distraction from other things more important. I do not view Navalny's death that way. Any attention being given it is worthy. Not paying attention to it and suggesting there are more important matters doesn't sit well with me. I was pleased that the Biden administration gave it such attention. If it were me, I would probably have lowered the flags to half-mast. Navalny was one of the greatest fighters for freedom this world had. When a standard bearer of freedom dies, it wounds my soul.
