One of my ongoing tasks has been to sort through documents and photos from the early 2000's. This was from the 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia. This image of the cop by the anarchist symbol and Mumia sticker had just the right amount of symbolism I could get behind. 1/2

Yep, I still have this issue too. So much summed up in one cover by Tak Toyoshima for the post-9/11 issue of The Weekly Dig on September 19, 2001. Somehow, I also managed to hold on to the jpeg from the site back in the day.

"Only Charlie Kirk is a father. Only Charlie Kirk is a husband. Only Charlie Kirk's death is a tragedy and totally unacceptable.
