Black Lives Matter Activist Fatally Shoots Himself in Front of Ohio Statehouse, Reportedly Leaves Behind a Message

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.
âWe donât have any evidence to know the reason why he did it,â Craig Cvetan of Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
McCarrel reportedly posted on his Facebook page shortly after 3 p.m., however, saying, âMy demons won today. Iâm sorry.â
The last tweet posted from his Twitter account read, âLet 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.
âAll everyone needs is love,â he told 614 Columbus in 2014 while speaking about his nonprofit. âThatâs a human being. Thatâs a pulse. Weâre feeding everyone, weâre sending the message â 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:

That idiot Deray is going to run for office. I hope he wins. It will be one big cluster of a screw up.
I’m not sure this matters.
No doubt some rogue cop did the actual shooting from a book repository. Or something. Bye felicia.
Did a white cop drive him to do it? </sarc>
Liberals will miss the irony of this incident.
Good riddance.
One...
Shame that people had to see this.
Prayers for Grandma, I'm sure she did the best she could.
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.
âIf 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,â he said.
I hope the next President uses David Clarke for something
I guess not by all that much
So then...do black lives matter or not? Apparently, he didn’t think so.
Well, I’m over it.
What you did there.....I saw it.
No surprise. Progs wind these gullible people up and stuff like this happens.
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.
