'A shadow appeared behind Robert’s body. An arm snaked around his neck and pulled tight. Robert didn’t resist, but his face betrayed the agony he felt. He was unconscious in three seconds and dead within three minutes. The crowd fell silent as he died, embracing the moment when justice occurred, and balance restored.'
