- Qem 3y ago> “Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.” (The message, which contained a link to the page on Twitch where Bushnell was planning to live-stream his final act of protest, is no longer visible.) Bushnell wrote a will in which he left his savings to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. Guy was a true hero. Rest in peace.
