Please send light to this little guy. What happened to him should never have happened.
If we lived in a just nation, a nation not at war with its own people, this baby would be in Wisconsin today, playing with his sisters, not fighting for his life in Grady Memorial Hospital.
We just ask everybody to pray for our child. Hes not doing to good, said the childs father, Boun Khan Phonesavanh.
Their attorney and activists asked for action as Bounkham Phonesavanh fights for his life inside Gradys burn unit.
This family overnight has become the face of police brutality, said activist Marcus Coleman.
A Habersham County special response team tossed a flash bang device into the home when a no-knock warrant was being served for Wanis Thonetaheva, 30.
A prayer vigil will be held today at noon EST

He and his henchmen set up a never ending policy that if any politician opposed would cause them to be labeled " weak on crime."
Nixon ruined so many young lives when he was alive and after he was dead.
This story just makes me sick. You are a grammy, I am a grampy. I just couldn't imagine how I would feel if our little guy had something like this happen to him.
Peace

It's devastating what's happened to this baby and his family. I can't even imagine my babies suffering like this. Why are storm troopers making war on children?

Application of crazy rules only on the poor to keep us in our place.
It is almost as if the Jim Crow laws were training for an all out war on those who are not wealthy.
I know I am way overboard.
