Collins, MD had been protecting a young Tutsi girl with his body from
machete blows, if but for a few brave and bloody moments. He perished a
dedicated physician and humanitarian aid worker who sacrificed himself
for those in need. His only sin was caring and advocating for a few of the
world’s poor regardless of their tribe – and the bastards who murdered him
were still walking the earth.
