If only there had been a police officer there to save him. But Black Lives Matter had spent 2020 howling that police officers were racist slave-catching agents of a colonial state who needed to be abolished. Crime skyrocketed and BLM's racist organizers aren't immune from the consequences of their policies.
A young protest leader known for his energy and optimism amid Louisville's movement for racial justice became a new symbol of gun violence when he was shot and killed early Monday.
"Gun violence" is actually crime. Guns don't decide to carjack a car and then shoot someone. Criminals do. Unless cops are there to stop them.
Hamza "Travis" Nagdy, 21, has been identified as the victim of a shooting just before 12:30 a.m. EST on Crittenden Drive in Louisville, according to social media posts by several family members, including his mother and stepmother. Nagdy was a regular at Jefferson Square Park, where protesters have gathered to demand justice for Breonna Taylor since late May.
Breonna Taylor was killed when her drug dealer boyfriend opened fire on police.
"He's irreplaceable," Taylor said. "Travis really believed he could help change systemic racism. He believed he could be a big part of that change.
"What I'm hoping is he will become a symbol of the violence that's going on, and people will finally give it the attention that we need to be giving to this record number of homicides in our city. ...We're just hoping that he will become a symbol of what great lives we are going to lose if we don't wrap a movement around what's going on."
Seriously, is this a joke? There is a movement. It's called fighting crime. That's the movement that BLM was set up to dismantle. These are the consequences.
Nagdy's death marks 145 criminal homicides the department has responded to this year, shattering the city's record of 117 homicides in 2016. There have also been 541 nonfatal shootings as of Sunday.
Like every place else, crime is spiking because Black Lives Matter and Democrat support for it did its job.
One of his favorite lines: "Today is not my day to die."
Now other activists are rallying to "demand justice". That's another way of saying that they hope that the police and law enforcement system they tried to dismantle does its job and arrests the killer.
And, somehow, I suspect that they're not going to settle for "restorative justice" and an apology.
He was killed in a carjacking. The OP has a sense of humor. Apparently, you don't.
Was he the car jacker
Daniel Greenfield is usually more careful than this.
Breonna Daylor's boyfreind, who shot at police, was Kenneth Walker. He has not been convicted of any crime.
He had/has a concealed carry permit.
Her former boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover, has plenty of ties to drug dealing, but Jamarcus was not the one who shot at police.
If Biden/Harris do get control of our nation then black lives won’t matter too much anymore, until closer to the next election.
Was he the perp or victim? Don’t agree with his politics but a shame for a young life to be snuffed out, prayers for his family
Double tap?
In 1985, Rosenberg was convicted for possessing hundreds of pounds of explosives. She and her organizations involved in multiple robberies, police officer assassinations, and bombings.

Now, Rosenberg is leading the fundraising efforts for Black Lives Matter. ...”

Gee what a shame.
‘He’s irreplaceable’: 21-year-old leader of Breonna Taylor protests killed in shooting, family says.
so his black life didn’t matter as much as black thug life matters.
Tee hee.
If you use a known term and misspell it, to make a point, that is not ‘humour’.
Now watch what happens, all the college football and basketball teams will have a moment of silence for him or some such silliness to make him a martyr.
Any idea what he was driving that was worth his life?
This isn't just irony, it is a giant, sucking, galaxy-eating, black hole of irony.
And I take zero joy in this. None. But it fills me with a great deal of anger.
Many people (including myself) have accurately maintained that Black Lives Matter is a Marxist political movement being used as Democrat street muscle to enact Leftist political change whose foundations not only have absolutely zero basis in FACT, but more disgustingly uses expendable (to them) black lives as ammunition to achieve their Marxist goals.
That was just one more black life that didn't matter.
Everyone knows the names and stories of George Floyd, Michel Brown, Trayvon Martin, and Rayshard Brooks. Oddly enough. Criminals and scum, but...celebrated because they were deified by the Left.
Nobody knows the names of Natalia Wallace, Mekhai James, Vernando Jones, Sincere Gaston, Amaria Jones, Lena Nunez, and tens of thousands like them over the years who have been murdered in cold blood by other blacks, as highlighted by President Trump. He at least, has heard their names. They are just children murdered in black-on-black violence
But to scummy leftists, and most egregiously, black leftists, those names are unknown. Those kids died virtually unknown except to those who loved them. They didn't get three separate national funerals attended by professional race baiters and carried by Leftist Media racists on national television. They didn't get gold coffins. They didn't get legislation named after them. They didn't have their pictures carried on streets, painted on buildings, or drawn in chalk on sidewalks. They didn't get any moments of silence like the scumbag criminal felon addict George Floyd did.
They didn't get anything but complete anonymity. In a just world, the criminal POS felons like George Floyd, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and Rayshard Brooks would be completely anonymous and forgotten, and the names of blacks like these murdered children would be known nationwide.
But the criminals are known and the innocents are not.
And that is because the criminals fit a WHOLLY POLITICAL narrative of institutionally racist police gunning them down in the streets while they are doing nothing wrong, while the innocent black children are murdered in violent, slums overseen for decades by scumbag Leftist politicians who aren't held accountable for the deliberate policies that lead to innocent deaths.
And now, without shame, without remorse, without even a twitch of acknowledgement of how idiotic this makes them look, they want the same people and institutions they vilified, tarred with a racist brush, tried with all their might to have defunded and disbanded, to search for the killer who was one of the loudest voices that called for the very defunding and disbandment of those law enforcement agencies.
In a sane world, this previous sentence I wrote would be a legitimate subject for discussion on a national level. But it isn't a sane world, and this aspect won't be discussed.
Well, this glorious new name, Hamza "Travis" Nagdy, can now be added to the Golden Hall of Violent, Criminal, and Felonious Martyrs where George Floyd, Michel Brown, Trayvon Martin, and Rayshard Brooks already reside.
Man, you must be a real blast at parties. I laughed the second I saw it. Another poster positively commented that he saw what the OP did. Perhaps you're just dense?
Actually, I missed that too, and I thought it was clever.
But this is an issue for anger and seriousness, not cleverness and humor.
Boy, does this whole thing piss me off. I have no love for this guy who got killed, he was simply a young, stupid tool of the Marxist Leftists who was on his way to being a dedicated one himself.
He just didn’t realize he was being a Useful Idiot.
Thank you for the feel good posting of the day.
Not in this case................
I had one this morning...............
They need to change their name to SBLM. (Some black lives matter)
