      Why the use of the word “poor”? She’s being brave as hell and using her publicity in a very productive manner.

        Please don’t ask me to explain my use of english 🙈

        I hope for the best, but I know how this world works. Her death will not move mountains, just add another name to the list of innocent people that have died from this “conflict”. It will be a blip across the screen for maybe a day, and then the next horrible thing will happen to take it’s place.

          Thank you for the explanation. I don’t think you’re wrong, but I do think you underestimate the protective power of name recognition. It’s stupid it works this way, but simply by being there she offers some additional protection to all the other brave individuals participating and thus reduces the chances that they all become names on that list.

          I wish others in her position could realize that fact and be brave enough to put themselves in harms way to reduce the risk us mere mortals face.
