Top Ferguson activist found shot in burning car, police say

A 29-year-old activist who rose to prominence in the protests following the police killing of Michael Brown was found dead in a burning car in a St. Louis suburb, according to police.

Upon putting out the fire, police found Seals inside the vehicle. He had suffered a gunshot wound, police said. McGuire declined to release further details, pending an ongoing investigation.

Seals' Twitter bio said he was a "Businessman, Revolutionary, Activist, Unapologetically BLACK, Afrikan in AmeriKKKa, Fighter, Leader."

Describing Seals as a factory line worker and hip-hop musician, The St. Louis American reported he was highly vocal during the Ferguson protests that followed Brown's death in August 2014.

When a grand jury declined to indict Officer Darren Wilson in Brown's killing, it was Seals seen in video footage and photos embracing Brown's distraught mother, Lesley McSpadden, as Brown's stepfather angrily told the crowd, "Burn this bitch down."

I guess someone listened to his "Burn this bitch down" tirade.

Killing people in their car and burning the car is a specific MO that sends a message to the people in the neighborhood. The victim was probably either talking to the police or was somehow seen as cooperating against the gangs.

"Seals' Twitter bio said he was a "Businessman, Revolutionary, Activist, Unapologetically BLACK, Afrikan in AmeriKKKa"

Sounds like Obama's former spiritual adviser, Jeremiah "GD-America" Wright.

From all the reports I have read this sounds like a classic case of suicide.

According to the CNN article he wasn’t a fan of BLM, and opposed Dems after the Fugerson riots. I’m willing to bet a BLM type might have been the one responsible, in which case the story will quickly disappear.

I think it is just a clean up crew taking care of some one who knew to much about who ever paid for the Ferguson riots to happen....IE a representative of George Soros.

Who is Obama sending to the funeral if he can’t make it.

Several people have died under mysterious circumstances in the aftermath of the Ferguson riots.

Hey! It’s only “taking out the trash” to the burn pit. No pit this time only a car.

Can’t say that I’m sorry for him for he was nothing more than a large piece of trash.

They killed Darren!!! You bastards!!

Thing is, WHO ARE THEY?. According to CNN's account Mr. Seals had less than flattering things to say about the DNC and BLM. Kinda reminiscent of Malcolm X's chump speech, and we all know what happened to the X-man soon after. Seems when it comes to Black activism, it's like the mob's old "code of muerta" where it ain't good to bad mouth the "family" outside of the "family". But then again some conspiracy kooks will try to pin his untimely demise at the hands of the Ferguson PD, and some schmucks will buy into it.
