“Blinded for Life for Protesting: Middle East Eye Reports U.S. Police Shot Student Protester Kaden Rummler”
January 21, 2026
He went to protest.
U.S. police responded with force.
Now he will never see again.
A student shot by police. A life permanently altered. This is what dissent is met with when power feels threatened. Protest isn’t a crime, blinding someone for life is.
Remember his name. Don’t let this get buried.

English Script:
kaden rummler: From what I’ve heard the doctors say and everyone else. Yes, I will be blind for life. They said my globe was ruptured. I had, like, my lower limb lid was like cut up and they had to take skin from my temple to fix it. There’s a lot to it. I don’t remember all the things that they said. I have fractures in my skull that they can’t fix. And I can’t sneeze or cough because it’s dangerous to. I remember also when I was shot, there was pepper in it, and I had pepper down my throat. It made it hard to breathe for a long time. And they pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. They said I had shards on shards of metal, glass and plastic all throughout my eye and behind my eye and in my skull. And they also said that I had a piece of shrapnel metal about a few millimeters away from my carotid artery, and they said it was a miracle I survived because if it got any closer, if it hit that, I would have died that night.
