What if this was your kid? Exclusive image of Bryan of the KooKooNauts - By N.L. Belardes

There's a lot of angry folks in Bakersfield about the cover-up and silence regarding the injury to Bryan of the KooKooNauts; Bryan, a kid no bigger than my own kids, a kid who on the straight edge of the punk scene was taken down for what? For being a musician and having fun releasing teenage energy to the rebelliousness of youth?

It's a big decision for a parent to allow anyone to see an image of their kid injured. But let this be a reminder that this could have been any of our kids, friends and loved ones. This image you are seeing is a full two days after the attack and details only one aspect of this horrendous injury. You can't see the broken skull and blown out eye socket from the outside...
