Very powerful and emotional video. I find it interesting to see a band try to tackle the issue of violence towards homosexuals. Especially a rock/punk band such as Rise Against. Typically these genres stay away from this issue, despite the tendency for punk music to analyze and critique what is wrong with society. It is really cool to see a band as popular as Rise Against try to combat this issue.

Interesting to see the "violence" of their sound being used against another kind of "violence." Perhaps this suggests that there is nothing necessarily negative about "aggression," that it can be channeled toward constructive aims -- at least metaphorically?
