Sometimes you know what is going to happen, — and yet seeing for one’s self is a shocking revelation.  This video shot in Harrison, Ark. by Rob Bliss was mentioned in the NYT Thursday edition of The Morning update.  I am not a consumer of Youtube videos as a general rule.  Viewing takes time and I am a reader.  I clicked on this one, intrigued by the idea of a White guy silently holding a BLM sign alongside a busy thoroughfare.  That is what Rob Bliss, a Los Angeles based film producer did for three days with a GoPro camera strapped to his chest concealed under his t-shirt.  To make the scenario even more trenchant, two days of his vigil took place at the edge of a Walmart parking lot.  Walmart is the prototype merchant of small-town America. 

Here is the video which speaks for itself.
