Monday marks day 54 of protests in Louisville, following the shooting death of Breonna Taylor. One group is taking that protest further with a hunger strike.

They began their strike on a Facebook Live today at noon.

The people who have been out protesting decided they needed to do more. The participants say they want to re-energize the protests but amplify that they’re hungry for justice.

For the past several weeks, around Louisville we’ve all heard these protesters’ voices. As of Monday, they want us to hear their hunger. There’s only one thing that they say will satisfy them.

“We just want justice; however that is going to look and whatever the outcome,” Amira Bryant said. Bryant is one of the four people who have volunteered to go on the hunger strike.

Some of the females I have seen on the front lines have enough fat to last them months.

“It’ll be a Fake Hunger Strike — “hunger strike” from 10am-4pm, pizza, burgers, and fries (& a Diet Coke) after.”

Until Day 2 when some of them start having family sneak them in snacks between 10 and 4 to hold them until pizza time.

They will take turns starving themselves. One won't eat for four hours, then he will be tag teamed by the next guy. Sequential hunger strike.

It is a powerful gesture....

It’ll be one of those “hand-off” hunger-strikes where another protester sits in the place of another and “starves” in their place while they go get somp’n’eat. Cuz they hooongry!

If really serious they could do self immolation.

Looking at the picture of some of the protesters I say it would be very good for their health, but I would be willing to bet if these people were weighed before and after their hunger strike that most of them would weigh more at the end.

Only one way to deal with this ... get more body bags ready.
