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.”

The last tweet posted from his Twitter account read, “Let the record show that I pissed on the state house before I left.”

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.”

The Pursuing Our Dreams Facebook page posted a message Monday honoring McCarrell. McCarrell started the organization in 2013:

We are sadden by the lost of founder of Pursing Our Dreams We never know what a person is going through RIP Marshawn

That idiot Deray is going to run for office. I hope he wins. It will be one big cluster of a screw up.

The SuperBowl Half-time show was a tribute to Black Power, however, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Black Panthers, who succeeded about as well as the Carolina Panthers. Beyonce’s fake cartridge belt may have contained a few actual cartridges, minus their primers. The large X that the 50 black women in paramilitary uniforms and black berets formed, of course, honored Malcolm X, the racist white-hater. Was the conventional US media silent on this? Then go read the British press!

I am saddened that he is dead. I am not saddened that what he stood for needs to die immediately, if not sooner.

But Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke had a strong message for Mckesson this morning on Fox and Friends Weekend.

“If Deray Mckesson wants to make Baltimore a better city, he can do that by packing up and leaving. It would become a better city the next day,” he said.

I hope the next President uses David Clarke for something

So then...do black lives matter or not? Apparently, he didn’t think so.

Malcolm X later turned against the Nation of Islam and I believe at that time he preached nonviolence. For that he was killed. A murder which Mohammed Ali said was justified.
