      Brian P. Fulton is a war veteran interested in Justice and Peace studies to prevent the future pain and suffering of war and conflict. Those who know me know that I also love skateboarding, and creating film projects. The main thing to pick up on here is that I care for many things, and Justice and Peace Studies involves so many different aspects of the world today. The responsibility and compassion for others is just one of the heavy loads we are given. I hope to involve myself somehow with projects of other compassionate rebels in my future as well as contribute as a compassionate rebel myself.
