Alt Text

A child's hand-drawn pencil sketch on graph paper depicting multiple persons wearing what appears to be camouflage who are firing guns both from foot and from an armed truck. Their targets include a house with a pointed roof that has been colored over lightly with orange crayon, implying it is on fire, and two other human figures. One of the figures who is holding a gun is firing at a helicopter, possibly representing a resistance to other acts of violence being depicted.
