Black Lives Matter Activist Fatally Shoots Himself in Front of Ohio Statehouse, Reportedly Leaves Behind a Message
Feb. 9, 2016 12:38pm Carly Hoilman
An Ohio man and Black Lives Matter activist fatally shot himself Monday evening on the steps of the Ohio Statehouse, Columbus Dispatch reported.
MarShawn M. McCarrel II, whom authorities say was spotted on the Statehouse grounds just moments before killing himself, was pronounced dead on the scene.
No one witnessed the suicide, authorities told the Dispatch.
“We don’t have any evidence to know the reason why he did it,†Craig Cvetan of Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
McCarrel reportedly posted on his Facebook page shortly after 3 p.m., however, saying, “My demons won today. I’m sorry.â€
The last tweet posted from his Twitter account read, “Let the record show that I pissed on the state house before I left.â€
In addition to his activist work, McCarrel, 23, worked with youth mentorship programs in Franklin Township and also launched a nonprofit group called Feed the Streets to provide meals to the homeless, the Grio reported.
“All everyone needs is love,†he told 614 Columbus in 2014 while speaking about his nonprofit. “That’s a human being. That’s a pulse. We’re feeding everyone, we’re sending the message — today I got you; tomorrow, I could be right there.â€
The Pursuing Our Dreams Facebook page posted a message Monday honoring McCarrell. McCarrell started the organization in 2013:

You’ve got to admire someone who is/was so dedicated to his job. I wonder if he died with his “hands up”. His Marxist programmers definitely didn’t do him any favors.
What a delight watching thug Cam Newton lose, and then act like the crybaby bitch he is.
But Obama won twice.
There’s never a policeman around when you need one...
poor man couldn’t find one to do suicide-by-police so he had to shoot himself...
No doubt they will.
I on the other hand feel pretty badly about how hard I just laughed out loud upon reading the Title of this thread!
LOL GREAT RESPONSE!!!!
That was terrific Daffy!
So let me get this straight. Nobody saw the suicide and he shot himself. So anybody with a gun can walk up the steps of the statehouse in Ohio and not a single security guy sees or stops him when he has a drawn handgun? Holy cow...
Freegards

I wish the next President was Sheriff David Clarke!!!
“Liberals will miss the irony of this incident.”
...and blame GWB.
The US media explained that is was a tribute to Michael Jackson. Yeah...sure....
If he’s black, he’s a dead hypocrite.
If I had to go through live spelling my name capital M, small A, small R, capital S, small H, small A, small W, small N, MarShawn; I would shoot myself too.
Mental disorder is a hallmark of liberalism.
You're doing it wrong.
And Calypso Louie was the guy who set this bit of wet work up and he is now fawned over by the political and cultural elite. Malcolm would have enjoyed the irony.
Write him a ticket for littering.
One down 11,999 more to go.
No, this is a sad moment. Seriously.
Anyone whose self-worth and esteem is so low that they purposely murder themselves is not to be mocked.
I am assuming this guy wasn’t running from the law or had just murdered someone—though I believe that he may have been very depressed because he believed in a cause that failed him.
“BLM” is not a cause with hope, any more than Hussein’s campaign in 2008 was a campaign with hope.
Hussein’s campaign in 2012 was hopeless as well, and sadly so many people believed things would get better.
Hopefully some will learn this time around.
I feel sorry for this man and his family.
