I remember..Yep I do remember when we got to the government camp..it was if like jesus had created a perfect place himself..God!..it was such a paradise, the showers , the food..you could see the happiness in the kids eyes, we were free again! No more cops or empty stomachs or any more sad faces…but later with the riot them cops had an excuse to punish us again and treat us like cows, it was not over.
