Ferguson Activists Dying In Puzzling Numbers (Ways)

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Two young men were found dead inside torched cars. Three others died of apparent suicides. Another collapsed on a bus, his death ruled an overdose.

Six deaths, all involving men with connections to protests in Ferguson, Missouri, drew attention on social media and speculation in the activist community that something sinister was at play.

Police say there is no evidence the deaths have anything to do with the protests stemming from a white police officer’s fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, and that only two were homicides with no known link to the protests.

But some activists say their concerns about a possible connection arise out of a culture of fear that persists in Ferguson 4 ½ years after Brown’s death, citing threats — mostly anonymous — that protest leaders continue to receive.

The Rev. Darryl Gray said he found a box inside his car. When the bomb squad arrived, no explosives were found but a 6-foot (1.8-meter) python was inside.

“Everybody is on pins and needles,” Gray said of his fellow activists.

I think just being young, with no job, with lack of a steady life and nothing to live for but protesting had much to contribute to their availability of free time and nothing to do.

The thug life has absolutely nothing to do with this, and only a racist would say it did.

Gangbangers living the thug life dying the thug deaths.
This has always been normal for people living a life of crime.

The police aren’t their enemy. They are their own enemy.
If anything, the law can offer a way out.

They were just trying to be like their hero, Michael Brown.

If,by chance,the “Gentle Giant” was typical of Ferguson’s young and middle aged males then this shouldn’t be even slightly surprising.

Could it be Global Warming?

Or the Black Hole that took MH370?

I don’t know about you, but using a Python seems really extreme. I wouldn’t know where to start to get one. Needless to say, it would not be my weapon of choice.

Clearly evil white nationalists who own guns are the reason these jewels of the community are dropping.

Will we ever find out what happened to MH370? I bet there’s a simpler explanation for what happened to the rage-infested “protestors”.
