A black rights advocate, often critical of Tampa police relations, was assisted by officers early Saturday morning after being robbed at gunpoint in Ybor City.

Ali Muhammad is well known in the Bay Area community for calling attention to the need for police reform during the selection process of the police citizens review board. He also wants to put an end to black crime, encouraging community members to come forward after several deadly shootings.

Muhammad became the victim of a black-on-black crime after a night of working as a DJ at a club in Ybor City. While walking down 8th Avenue around 3 a.m., Muhammad was robbed at gunpoint. Black activist robbed; gains new appreciation for police

"I was approached by a young black male who just came up to me and said, 'Give me your earrings and your backpack,'" recalled Muhammad. "He took everything I had. At the time, he didn't take my cell phone, and that's what made me call 911."

Muhammad followed the suspect down the street from a distance, until he was advised to stop by 911 dispatchers.

Along the way, suspect robbed two other women at gunpoint, according to the police report.

"One lady, she was in tears. She said she couldn't believe it. He had the gun in her mouth," said Muhammad, who came in contact with the women after they ran from the suspect.

Within 10 minutes of receiving Muhammad's call for help, Tampa police had several officers searching for the suspect, described as being shirtless and holding a handgun.

Officers spotted the suspect, 18-year-old Antwan Robertson, and chased him to a nearby Burger King parking lot. They found him hiding behind a dumpster.

Video at link. F*** the police! I need the police! F***the police! I need the police! Like the old saying, a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged. If this Mohammed character really wants things to improve for Blacks he should start by reconsidering which god he submits to

interesting editor's note:

Editor's note: The New Black Panther Party has since disputed Muhammad's role as a leader of the organization. The local party Facebook page calls him a "local chairman" but the party, after this story was published, stated he "does not currently hold leadership position."

"One lady, she was in tears. She said she couldn't believe it. He had the gun in her mouth," said Muhammad, who came in contact with the women after they ran from the suspect.

For armed robbery, give him 20 years. For putting the gun in her mouth, guarantee that he will have a gun put in his mouth and have his head blown off at the end of his sentence.

Let the sadistic bastard think about what's coming for twenty years.

Antwan? Srsly? Where do black mamas come up with these asinine names? Do they pick Scrabble tiles at random and see what they can come up with that suits their fancy? Jeez. Yes, I know, Antwan is, and too bad for the kids, a common name. And, to think, I used to think my first name was too common. Oh yeah, boomer, forget about complaining, Mike...I mean, me. ;)

“Antwan” is a corrupted spelling of Antoine, which is the French equivalent of Anthony.

“Like the old saying, a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged. “

In some cases even rape is not enough to change liberal thinking

Woe be unto the helpful teacher who tries to give Antwan’s mother the ‘correct spelling’ of her perfect son’s name!

“Would you like for me to write it down for you, Mrs. Jenkins? You can take the piece of paper with you, keep it in your purse maybe. That way you could refer to it later when writing Antoine’s name out! Does that help?”

Sombody could probably write a book on loosely phonetic misspellings of fancy-sounding French names, but my all-time favorite arises from Italian. D’ontay.

Didn't realize until later that "Antwan" was probably a corrupt spelling of "Antoine."

I wonder what his middle name is: Mawnteegyu?

Illiterate savages!
