For my part I did not know Angry, but his death (to which I was not indifferent) brought him close to me via his writings, drawings, songs and the memories of other people that they relived with great affection and that allowed me and allows others to go beyond the day of December 11 and take a deeper meaning from the memory of a compañero and also of others. A sense of recognition of the person himself, of a being who took the step of defying himself, the society and this civilization of domination by compelling himself to live another life that was not established or pre-fabricated. With the ups and downs, contradictions and successes that come from rebellious decisions and wills.

The memory of which I speak comes from a feeling of affinity with the compañero and certain experiences, practices, desires, feelings and ideas that fill our life with a sense of self, pride and the impulse to walk along a similar path of struggle and confrontation, of desires and creation.

It is the political and personal elements (although I cannot elaborate much on the latter) of their daily life and person that take importance. For example his diet, his rejection of the consumption of certain products and substances, his contempt for wage labor, his illegalism, and that radiant energy and spark that he had that all increase his strength and make his action of expropriation and his attitdue worthwhile. That’s why I’m sorry to feel that someone like that is no longer with us. Because as well as being driven by direct actions, expropriations and illegalism, was somebody who tried to take back their own life and live in rebellion.

That is also why I will never forget who and what kind of damn citizen it was (a security guard) that killed Angry.

¡Compañero Sebastián OIversluij presente!

Freedom to the compañera Tamara Sol who took a step in revenge.

A hug from these cages to all those in affinity.

Tato.
