Hiromi Usagi!

A few days ago, I was reading the news on BBC website and found a news about young unarmed attendants at CzechTek who were seriously beaten, tear gassed, and water cannoned by the police. Immediatly, I emailed Luca who is from Prague and moved back there, just in case, I thought… Today, he emailed me back saying that he was there and hit by the policeman in his mouth and lost two teeth. Luca is very sad that he witnessed the police attacked unarmed people. He said that this was the most horrible thing that he has ever seen. I just can’t even imagine how bad it was. He is a very calm, nice, intelligent person as you know, but he felt very violent and disappointed and now he is traumatized by the incident. I am here very far away and helpless….. I’ve read that there are so many protests against the police and the government.

He got a grant to open a gallery there in Prague and very excited about it. He told me that how great people are there, before he left the Sates. He went to the CzechTek field straight from the airport, and then this incident happened. I hope he is getting healed physically and emotionally. I really do…
