In 2017, three terrorists driving a van ploughed into people in central London before taking to the streets to randomly attack anyone they came across.
At the same time, Ignacio Echeverría was having a typical Saturday Night out skateboarding with his friends. We hear how those two separate events came together with horrifying consequences.

@casperr253 3 года назад

I watched the episode. This is not prison, this is the psychology used in boot camp. The idea is that submission in the form of an emotional and mental break is somehow a breakthrough. There are no long-term positive results from this type of program unless the parents are put through something equally as intense. These kids don't have a chance with parents like that. The young man with autism had absolutely no business being there. In his very literal, matter-of-fact world that was equivalent to punishment for an action. The action was hitting his mom in the head. He did so because she hit him with a phone and she had told him that if anyone hits him, hit them back. He followed her directions exactly. As his mother, she should have known that he would follow her directions. That family needs crisis management assistance and possibly a behavioral analyst.

@Sygnificant 3 года назад

The skating community is one of the best communities out there. Very rarely do you see bad blood between skaters it definitely is a sport that brings everyone together and the chemistry is amazing. No one ever judges u for not being good and those that do get hated on because everyone knows that you have to start out somewhere. There definitely is a great bond in the sport snd I definitely agree that the rep we get isn’t right. People see me on a skateboard and they think I’m a thug and a junky and I have no life. Never judge a book by its cover and this video definitely proves that.

It's so easy to see ourselves, what we see as human like emotions in their eyes reflecting back at us. Love for a child in many species is the same extraordinary experience, and so is the immense grief that comes along with losing that child.

Just found out about his story. It broke me in pieces. I feel incredibly sad but also incredibly proud of him, he was truly a hero, it warms my heart to see the amount of memorials and tributes done for him, he deserves that and more. May he rest in peace ❤

As a Spaniard I´m not surprised at all that English media did not want to cover a foreigner being a hero in their homeland, much like the French did after the liberation of Paris. People don´t wanna hear they were freed or saved by foreigners, they want to hear patriotic stories even if they are lies.
