While that would be kinda cool in a way, I highly doubt it. But there are those who participated in that misguided protest (riot) that believe in this conspiracy theory. It seems that six of those poor souls who believed in the “Gentle Giant” lie and took to the streets in anger have died since then.
Deaths of Ferguson activists lead some to believe something sinister is at play
The sometimes-violent deaths of a half-dozen men linked to the 2014 protests that rocked Ferguson, Mo., including two found in burning cars and three who allegedly committed suicide, have sparked fears that something sinister is afoot, The Associated Press reported in an extensive investigation.
Police say the deaths, which also included a man who collapsed on a bus due to an overdose, have nothing to do with the protests that rocked the small city near St. Louis following the police-involved shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. But others involved in the protests say the strange events are piling up.
The Rev. Darryl Gray told the Associated Press he found a suspicious box inside his car and when authorities came to inspect they found a 6-foot python inside.
Yes, that’s odd. But what kind of assassin uses a python (unless it’s of the Colt variety) to try to kill someone? Pythons are not poisonous. A rattlesnake might be a better choice. Which leads me to believe the good reverend just might have put that snake in the car himself to perpetuate this myth of racist assassins at work.
“Everybody is on pins and needles,” Gray said.
No arrests have been made in the two homicides as St. Louis County police spokesman Shawn McGuire told the Associated Press witnesses have just refused to answer questions, leaving the investigation with no leads.
There were witnesses but no one is talking. What do you want to bet that these witnesses were black? Therefore the perpetrators must also have been black, because if the killers were white they’d be lining up to give descriptions of the murderous white supremacists.
“We don’t believe either one was connected to each other,” McGuire said, adding “It’s tough to come up with a motive without a suspect.”
In the years since the protest of the police-involved shooting, activists said they’ve been targeted in dangerous ways.
“Something is happening,” Cori Bush, a leader of the Ferguson protests, told The Associated Press. “I’ve been vocal about the things that I’ve experienced and still experience — the harassment, the intimidation, the death threats, the death attempts.”
Really? And how many arrests have been made as a result of all these alleged crimes? I guess none or you would have mentioned them to prove your point. Maybe, just maybe you’re hate hoaxer.
Bush told The Associated Press her car has been run off the road, her home vandalized and someone fired a bullet into her home in 2014 – narrowly missing her 13-year-old daughter. She suspected she’s been targeted by white supremacists or police sympathizers.
I suspect you live in a shitty neighborhood where things like this happen.
Ferguson protests erupted in August 2014 after police officer Darren Wilson fatally shot Brown during a confrontation. Brown was unarmed at the time of the shooting and Wilson claimed self-defense, saying Brown charged him. A grand jury declined to bring charges against Wilson, prompting a night of violence.
One of the first activists to die was Deandre Joshua, according to the Associated Press. Joshua, 20, was shot in the head before his car was torched.
Darren Seals, who was shown on video during the night of the protests comforting Brown’s mother, was shot multiple times with his body torched in a vehicle as well in September 2016.
These kinds of things tend to happen to criminals. People who burn down their own city and go looting are most likely involved in other criminal activities as well. Bad things happen to bad people.
Four others had also died, three of them ruled suicides.
MarShawn McCarrell, an Ohio man who was an activist in Ferguson, shot himself outside the Ohio Statehouse in February 2016, police said.
Edward Crawford Jr., 27, shot himself in May 2017 after telling his friends he was upset over personal issues, police said. Crawford was seen in a St. Louis Post-Dispatch photo firing a canister back at Ferguson police during the protests.
Danye Jones, 24, was found hanging from a tree in a yard north of his home in October. His mother claimed that he had been lynched but the death was ruled a suicide, according to the Associated Press.
Three suicides. Obviously the work of assassins. Insert eye roll here. To me it just shows how mentally unstable the people are who bought into the Michael Brown lie.
Bassem Masri, 31, was found unresponsive on a bus and toxicology results showed he had died as a result of a fentanyl overdose. The Palestinian American had livestreamed Ferguson demonstrations.
Oops! The guy exceeded the recommended dosage. He wasn’t killed, he was just stupid.
Many activists still feel a sense of hopelessness after the protests. But it’s unclear if the suicides had been related to the effects of the Ferguson aftermath.
“This has to have a big impact on their mental health,” Washington University sociologist Odis Johnson told the Associated Press. “For many, law enforcement is not a recourse. Many times law enforcement is not on their side.”
In other words, they’re all mental. Law enforcement not on the side of rioters and criminals that would wish them all dead? Unbelievable! This is not the work of any racist ninja or ninjas. The two guys who got shot? This is the result of bad people doing bad things and suffering the consequences. The suicide guys were all nuts, and the fentanyl guy was a drug addict. But by all means, keep believing in this lie, continue to live in fear, and keep on killing yourselves.
