it'll be fine for liberals to admit the Ferguson activists were murdered once twenty or thirty years go by
at which point they will be considered martyrs for liberalism
thing about martyrs is they're dead so they can't contradict you
Once it's used in a capeshit tv show, of course, like the Tulsa bombing and the Watchmen show
It was weird that both watchmen and lovecraft country had Tulsa massacre scenes.
I never watched that tbh, but that does sound like something that lovecraft himself would put in his books. That they'd have to do it to shut down a old god summoning, I mean
Lovecraft country was based on a fantasy/sci fi book about a black family in the 50s-60s written by a white dude.
Black Wall Street was a trope because the idea sounds good to a “progressive” bourgeoisie
Lol mostly false. "But they were not all found burned to death in their cars" So how many were found burned in their cars? Because the post claimed 6 not all.
CW: Suicide, police violence, you know the deal.
Two found burned in their cars, both were shot prior to the burning (one shot in the head, the other "bullet-riddled").
The fentanyl OD is possible; he was unresponsive on a bus and the toxicology report showed fentanyl.
The suicides were as follows:
- Shot himself in front of a courthouse
- Shot himself
- "Hanged himself" (his mother claims he was lynched)
Nothing on the drowning in the article I checked.
So like one or two for those could be suicide out of 6. Probably just the one.
Leave it to libs to means-test Police State retribution killings to the point where their answer is:
golly those activists sure do die in suspicious ways, must be nothing at all
Country with an exhaustively-documented history of murdering black activists, including police murders: "Nope, nothing to see here!"
Don't be ridiculous that was in the distant past of like 10 yrs ago. Now that things have changed America would never murder activists
Chinese dissidents spend a couple weeks in jail and then get airlifted to DC to spend the rest of their lives making 7 figures at NGO email jobs and doing TED talks.
American dissidents are murdered without trial in broad daylight by unelected secret police.
I did some organizing with a woman who, in my area, was doing a lot of stuff to make sex-workers lives better. Like pressure the city to pull back on laws that allowed them to use the possession of condoms as evidence of sex-work. Pressuring them to get the local PD to refocus their vice department. Building a network of people sex-workers can turn to for support. Amazing woman whom I wish very much I could have helped so much more to do all the things she wanted to do. She was speaking out and contacting sex workers across the country to build a movement. Then one day, out of nowhere, she died of a fentanyl overdose. She wasn't a user. She wasn't an addict. Her partner and room mates found her. They were shocked. She just, as it turns out one night, decided she was going to IV a heroic dose of fentanyl. Just a normal thing people who have no history of addiction or hard drug use do. Just something that can happen to anyone whose friends would never be the wiser.
Anyways, probably a coinkydink. These things happen every day.
Reminds me of the time I went to an anticop protest and a week later my vehicle got flagged for an outstanding ticket. Turns out that a few years ago when I was in an accident where someone slammed into me they had gotten a ticket for that. Somehow, and isn't this just the funniest thing, the ticket got changed in their database 2 days after the protest to show that the ticket was never paid and was actually issues to me instead. If I didn't pay I was going to get a warrant out for my arrest for this outstanding ticket. Luckily I caught the issue before it came to that and squared it away. Was a real headscratcher to the boys in blue as well. They swore they had no idea how such a computer glitch could happen.
get fact checked bucko
this is false on a technicality and therefore you should disregard everything
Um, yeah,
there are such things as coincidences and some of them were found burned to death in cars they DIDN'T own.
Thanks for posting this. This kinda stuff randomly popped into my head when I suddenly remembered one of the activists in my area. Dude kinda dipped off the face of the planet and I'm concerned...
