Red steps up into the back of the vehicle and reaches around for the baby as the mother looks on in awe, admiration in her eyes.
He looks out at the people pouring from the buildings and allyways and his heart swells with pride as they begin to chant his name and pick up children so that they can see him.
He raises his hand and the people grow silent, the effect is almost instant.
"As you all know I am called Smokey Red and I never asked for any of this but since it has happened and we are all locked in it together I am going to do my best to make sure that we all come out of it with as little damage as possible.
This entity that we fight has grown so powerful that it thought it could not be touched. That it owned your minds and your bodies. You have worked for years and you recieve pay that barely keeps you alive. You are turned away at the doors of the institutions that are supposed to keep you alive...keep you healthy.
Your children are taught in inferior schools to be slaves to a way of thinking...to be slaves to system that wants you to pour your blood sweat and tears into it while leaving you to rot when you grow old.
The roles of parents and children are being reversed so that you have no power in your own homes. No power in the elections.
I never thought in my wildest dreams that we the people could come together to fight a common enemy, yet we have and here we are. Brothers and sisters in the streets.
As you know I have children and grandchildren who I worry about and I have lived in the same tenements you have. I have slept on the park benches because I had nowhere else to go.
I have been locked away in the same jails that you have.
Been sentenced by the same courts.
I am but a small part of the whole which is we and I will do my best to make sure that we come out of this with a more balenced society.
You have heard the word socialism as it has been used by oppressive states where the few controlled the many, but what is not known is that that word has a much deeper meaning. We are going to move for a socialist state but in this state you will be the authors of your lives. Socialism is about sharing. It is about caring. It is about these children."
At this he holds the child in his hands aloft to look out at the crowd and they start to cheer again.
All of a sudden the guard who stands to his side is hit by a bullet and falls to the ground and the crowd erupts as they try to get away. Most of them are people who have lived in the city all of their lives and instinct takes over as they flee.
Red ducks down with his body covering the baby and crawls to where his mother stands at the back of the vehicle.
He hears the radio kick into life in his earpiece as the coordinates for the shooter are given. His guards are good and they were watching.
The place where they stopped is sheltered on all sides by buildings and the shot came from one of the windows upstairs. Soon he hears the all clear given and a man is brought into the street. The man is black and still wears a suit. He sports a black eye and blood on his shirt and the guards are not gentle with him at all.
As the man is brought into the street the crowd starts to return and they have taken on the aura of a mob...they kick and jeer at the man as he is brought down to his knees in front of Red babbling and slobbering.
Red walks up to him and pushes at the crowd to keep them back and he crouches in front of the man.
He asks one question.
"Why?"
The man looks up at him from his swollen face and says "Because you have fucked it up for us all. They system was put into place for a reason. We need the system to survive."
Red looks into his eyes and asks him what was there before the system?
The man looks at him in confusion and says "What?"
"I asked you what was there before the system."
"The black man looks at him and says "We lived in the jungles like monkeys before the white man came. Before Christianity."
Red looks at him and says "Wrong"
Before this system there were other systems...Greece...Rome...Great Britan.
All those systems failed. Do you know why? "Because they forgot about the people who made them work thats why."
At this the man starts to laugh and the people look at him amazed as he begins to speak. "All y'all dumb ass motherfuckers are listening to this dumb ass nigger and eating this bullshit up but he is gonna lead to the destruction of all of you. We need to be told what to do. We are like children and we need the government. What will we do without the police...The army?"
I'll tell you what...we are going to go back to pimitive times...do you want that?
Red stands from his crouch and pulls the Desert Eagle from his holster and shoots the man point blank in the head and his brains spray onto the asphalt behind him.
The crowd is so silent that it seems ethereal and Red speaks again.
"We are in this together my people no matter what race or religious creed you are...we are in this together. Our enemy has been victimizing us for so long that many of us think that the lies are the truth. We can and we must take back our lives and create a new system for the world. One where we all live in peace."
He turns and walks back to his vehicle and as he opens the door the crowd erupts in cheers.
The driver starts to drive and the crowd parts as the convoy moves away.
