Brigitte Belton! What a courageous and amazing person. I have often wondered how they train border crossing personnel to be so freaking unfriendly, but these examples are sadistic. William Golding in “Lord of the Flies” captured beautifully what can happen to people when there are no expectations of civility. These examples show humanity at its worst; these border guard’s really relished in their sadistic cruelty when it was sanctioned. But what solution Brigitte found!

Chris Barber and Brigitte Belton — one man one woman, one vaccinated one not. They led the way. Donna Laframboise tells the story so well.
