Charlie Bauer in the 80s

Charlie Bauer, ultra-left anarchist sympathiser, former friend and associate of Jacques Mesrine, died of a heart attack on Sunday, 7th August, at the age of 68.

Knowing something of his life of stubborn resistance to this society, and having briefly met him just over a year ago, this news I've only just heard about sends shivers through my body.
Sad.
And so young, as well.

Details will follow in a few days.
