Hidden footage from a Humanity First meeting begins to play.
"Multispecism, favor diversity. These flawed ideals with a hidden meaning: the genocide of the human race. When is enough - enough' Do we continue to hide and pray to those higher above as our people are murdered and fed upon on the streets" Is this the strength in diversity that this city clamors behind" Strength in diversity - as long as you are not human. They act as if your lives do not matter. As if you are disposable for their pleasure. Predators do not fear their prey unless they are given reason to. Do each and every one of you wish to continue being the prey' Or will you rise up and take a firm grasp of your own destiny"
While the Governorship is not a title that holds power, it does hold one thing - a podium for our message to be heard. A message of humanity that has been feverishly ignored by the lesser species dwelling in this city.
Your family first, your children first, your partner first. Humanity first. Do not allow yourself to be the victim any—.."
"Do it." Could be heard from a quiet foreign voice to the side of the camera person. There's a sudden bright flash. The camera shakes, falls to the ground, and loses focus after a loud explosion is heard. Half of the screen seems to be broken, but what remains of the visuals show a panic of legs in their attempts to vacate the vicinity. Yelling and screaming make up much of the background noise.
"They can only answer in violence!" Came from behind the buzzing audio. "Is this the world you crave to live in"! Why are you running? Your brothers and sisters lie there! Dead! Because you continue to live in fear!"
A glimpse of Francis from the corner of the broken visual could be made out as he dropped to a knee some feet away from the camera. The small body he takes up into his arms looks to be one of a child. "Some are still alive! QUIT RUNNING!"
The video continues. Francis can be seen quickly leaving its focus as he tries to find medical aid for the held victim. The camera is then brushed to the side by a kick - most likely from someone attempting to move it out of the way to help another; this causes the video to become more distorted. What's left, or what could be made out of one were to look hard enough, is five minutes worth of audio-less footage of supporters trying to aid the fallen.
