Most of you may not be familiar with my past with the McGregors…
Years ago, Mrs. McGregor worked for me, and the two of us were quite friendly. We had a falling out due to complications involving mine and my ex husband’s past, but in entirety there were never any true hard feelings. I know I may be putting myself on the line by saying this, but I created this blog to be able to express and define myself honestly, in a way the media doesn’t capture. I intend to do so despite any risks.
Today I attended the execution of Mr. McGregor. Both his and my family attended, along with many other onlookers. As soon as the man was about to be killed, he cried “Long live the Liberation Militia!” A shock to us all. Even in the face of death, this man was standing up to his cause. Risky and rebellious, but honorable.
The real shock came after. Mr. McGregor survived his execution! The sentence was switched to a life in prison at the last second. You could hear the gasps throughout the crowd, showing a variation of emotions from outrage to joy to disgust. And as soon as the silence started, it was over. The Noughts broke out in a frenzy. The Crosses were ushered away from the situation as fast as possible, but from what I could see, the Noughts were punching and shoving at any and all Crosses in their way. Their cause? Who knows.
I think this day has been monumental for both Crosses and Noughts. The Liberation Militia has been defended, in a subtle way. This more lenient punishment is showing to the world, Noughts and Crosses alike, that their longing for equality and actions towards it are acceptable.
This looks like the start of a rebellion in my eyes.
