Soft Phantom

An American citizen's reaction to the political assassination of the freedom visionary persona, LaVoy Finicum. Publisher's Note: Lori Vekre is the author of Cowboys: Canaries in Coal Mines. Canaries in coal mines warn of the coming of greater dangers. The metaphor originates from the times when miners used to carry caged canaries while at work. If there was any methane or carbon monoxide in the mine, the canary would die before the levels of the gas reached those hazardous to humans.
