Boston Globe’s ‘Bostonian of the Year’ BLM race activist and husband indicted for fraud

Am I the only person who sees a pattern of airhead virtue-signaling progressives getting fleeced by hustlers cashing in on the moral panic that followed the George Floyd riots?

New England’s most prominent exponent of the Black Lives Matter movement is facing charges of bilking donors and using charity funds for personal gain. The highest-profile race activist in Boston, Monica Cannon-Grant, has been indicted by the US Attorney in Boston on 18 counts:

...with two counts of wire fraud conspiracy; one count of conspiracy; 13 counts of wire fraud; and one count of making false statements to a mortgage lending business. The indictment also charges Cannon-Grant with one count of mail fraud.

Cannon-Grant founded a group called Violence in Boston (VIB) before the George Floyd death in police custody, but that event and the riots that followed propelled her and her group into the stratosphere of prominence and Beantown, with accompanying honors from the progressive media and plenty of cash from suckers donors.

The Boston Herald reports:

Cannon-Grant has associated herself repeatedly with U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s campaign, which says she never worked there and declined to comment further. VIB has gotten financial support from various elected officials, with City Councilor Julia Mejia, whose office didn’t respond to a request for comment, giving by far the most at $1,235.

These activists are just preparing their supporters for communism where they will have nothing.

All the top BLM leaders are thieves and promoters of violence and murder.
And they don't even bother to hide their blatant criminal activities.

What about the other BLM pig Patrisse Cullors who has been collecting mansions as if she’s a billionaire? Now she’s demanding Juicy Smollet be released from prison, that he is a victim of racism while she’s siphoning money meant for blacks

It appears she needed large sums of money from suckers to pay for
her meals. BLM was always a con.

A few month’s ago a huge number of homes in the “best” neighborhood for white progressives in my town had BLM and other social justice signs in their yards. As the news stories about the grifters involved in the management of BLM have hit even the mainstream press, I’ve noticed the signs disappearing. Now it is the Ukraine signs.

So very true. I saw the same thing in a very upscale suburban town. Homes, any of which would sell for $2M to $5M all sported BLM yard signs in 2020.The virtue signaling in the trust-fund class was strong in that town. Then they were removed, one by one. Now onto the next virtue-signaling exhibition with the neighbors!

They are all exactly alike in this felony grifting: Scammers who Scam Suckers. Almost as bad, suckers who don't mind being scammed a bit, if it pumps up their virtue signaling credibility

This came out last year about her racist, leeching soul-mate Khan-Cullors, about which I wrote this parody on that great 1970's song:

"...Khan-Cullors tearfully defended her $3.2 million real estate empire,..."

I'm Not A Thief
(Sung to the tune of I'm Not In Love" by 10cc)

I'm not a thief, so don't forget it
It's just a grifting phase I'm going through
And just because I took your cash
Your virtue signal’s still a badge you wear
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

I like to scam you, but then again
That doesn't mean your Leftist creds are gone
So if I rob you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell the evening news I’m stealing cash
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

(Be quiet, Marxists don't cry)
Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)

I got my mansions with stolen cash
I hide the cash transfers in bank accounts
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know I got no salary
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

Ooh, the suckers threw cash at me
Ooh, the suckers threw cash

Ooh, the suckers threw cash at me
Ooh, the suckers threw cash

I'm not a thief, so don't forget it
It's just a grifting phase I'm going through
And just because I took your cash
Your virtue signal’s still a badge you wear, ooh

I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief…

NASCAR fans need to email this to nascar , care of bubba wallas$, and demand a public apology to fans for supporting and kneeling in solidarity on the race track with these crooks.

And the drivers for giving bubba reperation laps.

And get his black supremists race baiting commie gritters face off all their commercials ( he won 1 race while sitting under an umbrella ) and doesn’t rate being lionized beside the real race champions.

Hyporcrits. The signs were for protection of their mansions. I want section 8 homes in those neighborhoods and watch and see how they flee out of the neighborhood.

BLM is a marxist terror group. It was nothing but a shakedown group. But how does one defraud idiots who willingly give money to a terror group?
