Black Lives Matter Activists Are Dying and No One is Talking About It
Femestella, March 28, 2019
On March 23, the body of social justice activist Amber Evans was pulled from the Scioto River in Ohio. She had been missing since January 28, 2019.
Evans was well known in the city and was active in the community and social justice organizations. Her main involvement was with the People’s Justice Project; an organization that works to “confront police violence, end mass incarceration, and promote safety and health in our communities.”
On January 28, Amber went to work as normal and was last seen by coworkers at 5:30 pm. However, later that evening, her car and phone were found on different ends of the Scioto Mile.
Besides black social justice websites and Ohio news outlets, the death of Evans hasn’t exactly made national headlines.
Almost five years ago, 18-year-old Michael Brown, an unarmed black man, was shot and killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. The officer was found not guilty, which caused protests, riots, and the start of the “hands up don’t shoot” movement. In these five years, six men, who like Evans were active members in the community and a part of the Ferguson protests have died. One by one.
The most recent death to come out of Ferguson was that of protestor Bassem Masri (31 years old) in November. The Palestinian American was found on a bus and his cause of death was a heart attack. The activist was known in the community for live-streaming protests and demonstrations throughout Ferguson.
In 2014, a few months after the grand jury decided not to prosecute Brown’s killer, the body of Deandre Joshua (20 years old) was found in his car just blocks from the protest site. He was shot in the head and his car was burned. Two years later, Darren Seals (29 years old) was also shot and found inside a burning car.
And then there’s MarShawn McCarrell (27 years old) and Edward Crawford Jr. (27 years old), who both died by apparent suicides from gunshot wounds. Another activist, Danye Jones (24 years old) was found hanging from a tree outside his house. The police have also ruled it death by suicide but his mother is convinced her son was lynched.
Since Brown’s death, the relationship between activists and the police have only gotten more intense. So, while the police are still investigating, it’s safe to say that these deaths might not be at the top of the department’s list. Cori Bush, the leader of many Ferguson protests, said that activists have been targets of threats and intimidation.
“I’ve been vocal about things that I’ve experienced and still experience. The harassment, the intimidation, the death threats, and death attempts.”
She also claimed that she’s been shot at and has been run off the road multiple times.
The killing of activists who have a message of making the world a better place is nothing new. Something is going on, specifically with the Black Lives Matter community, that no one is talking about.

Правительство США жестоко нарушало мои права человека при проведении кампании террора, которая заставила меня покинуть свою родину и получить политическое убежище в СССР.

Правительство США еще нарушает мои права, в течении 15 лет отказывается от выплаты причитающейся мне пенсии по старости. Властители США воруют пенсию!!
ФСБ - Федеральная служба «безопасности» России - вслед за позорным, предавшим страну предшественником КГБ, мерзко выполняет приказы секретного, кровавого хозяина (boss) - американского ЦРУ (CIA). Среди таких «задач» - мне запретить выступать в СМИ и не пропускать отправленных мне комментариев. А это далеко не всё...
