On March 13th, 2009, Tristan Anderson, from Oakland, California, was shot in the head by Israeli forces during a protest against the Apartheid Wall in the Palestinian village of Ni'lin.

Tristan was shot at close range with a new type of high-velocity tear gas bullet that can reach 500 meters. It is silent, leaves no smoke trail, and has a propeller to accelerate the weapon mid-air.

Three days later, on March 16th, on the 6th anniversary of Israel's murder of Rachel Corrie with a bulldozer, friends and allies of Tristan gathered at the Israeli consulate in San Francisco.
