In lighting his own flesh on fire in a seemingly placid and sunny seaside college town where unredressed racial violence lurks beneath the surface, Thairie Ritchie bore witness to a world that is on fire and hurtling toward the abyss, write activists at Santa Cruz Black. He self-immolated while standing on the Black Lives Matter street mural, which cars heedlessly drive over every day in front of city hall in downtown Santa Cruz. The group offers a tribute to him and his message.

Many years ago, I visited UC Santa Cruz. In their Quad, I saw a group of several hippies, on LSD, completely naked, throwing a frisbee among themselves.
Its a special place.
Too bad those Congress-sleezebags have been stealing our tax money when they could have established a nationwide mental health hospital and treatment infrastructure. That’s how much Dems care for the people.
Not the ‘Surf City’ I remember from the 50’s and 60’s before the slug worshipers came to town.

BRILLIANT!!! 🙄🙄🙄
Actually not too smart, but ...🥴🥴🥴
The concept of "street" seems to baffle the writer.
He is still alive after setting himself on fire to protest
“The System”. Only thing that has actually changed since his
protest is that now, Thairie has several burned areas of skin, some patched on grafts and a few places that won’t ever heal to look or stretch like natural skin.
He will probably need to manage chronic pain for the rest of his life. All this for attention. He got what he wanted.
I was wondering.....
Why are all those CARS
🚗🚕🚙🚓🚘🚔🚗
in the STREET???!!!
🤔🤔🤔🤔
WE MUST FORM A COMMITTEE!!
“CARS HEEDLESSLY DRIVE OVER EVERY DAY”
A STREET WAS THERE FIRST !!!!!!!!
YOU INSIST ON PAINTING A STREET-—DO NOT EXPECT CARS TO NOT USE THAT STREET.
THE SANTA CRUZ COLLEGE NEEDS TO BE CLOSED
NOT PRODUCING ANYONE WITH ANY HELPFUL TALENTS
MENTAL CASE
Well said.
Smelly hippies and lost radicals from the East Coast. Santa Cruz died decades ago. UCSC is a bastion of Marxism.
Maybe an encore?
Two young men convicted of a felony for doing burnout on the BLM “mural”
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. —
Members of Santa Cruz Equity Collab gathered on Friday on the Santa Cruz County Superior Courthouse steps following the sentencing of two men charged with defacing the black lives matter mural in front of the Santa Cruz City Hall in July of 2021.
The two men plead no contest and were sentenced to 90 days in the county jail, and ordered to attend diversity and sensitivity training along with paying more than $19,000 in restitution and two years probation.
A very rare occasion when Cartman
actually got something correct
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown
apparently.....
That article is a hell of a read, an immersion into a psychotic house of cards. each with unsupportable presumptions and bogus attributions.
No truer meme gator!
Let me give a grip on this. The ultra left wing town of Santa Cruz is so RACIST against black people that blacks are forced to immolate themselves in protest. Has the declining KKK had to start a hippee-communist division?
