Ferguson Protest Leader Darren Seals Found Dead in Vehicle

Yeah, because white cops killing blacks is clearly why Chicago has 500 homicides already in 2016. smfh

What does 500 black civilian on black civilian deaths in Chicago have to do with a movement that focuses on police brutality on civilians nation wide? You seem to be allowing the movements name interfere with hearing what their message is. It never was about black on black crime.

Uh, maybe it's the fact that police murdering blacks is not a problem while blacks killing each other most certainly is. :roll:
 
Chillfolks,

Yes, I would say what I said to one of his friends face to face, as long as I knew in advance that the dude didn't have a gun or a knife. I'm pretty good sized and most folks leave me alone.

Now, if we're talking about 4 or 5 of his bereaved friends, then I'd be carrying.

You seem to be a smart man when it comes to protecting your personal health in real life situations.

But heck the internet was invented to anonymously talk junk to or about people. That and porn.

Thanks for being honest and not try to act all John Wayne

I apologize to you for coming off like an asshole. Thank you for being understanding.

Quaz

So start a movement that addresses that issue instead of getting upset that another movement, with a name that doesn't fit their message, is addressing a different issue.


What's the magical number that makes any issue a problem in your opinion

Certainly somewhere around 75% of the victims of 500 total murders, when the population is roughly 30% of the whole would qualify :roll:
 
The reality is that 12.3% of American citizens commit 51% of all murders. The fact that these BLM movements refuse to address that makes them nothing more than hypocritical whiners. Sure there are crooked cops, but statistically that's less than 1% of all incidents involving cops and blacks.

Googling him, he seems like he wasn't that bad of a guy. Unfortunately...as someone who lives in the same metropolitan area as he did, it looks like he was just a victim of his own hypocrisy. People in Ferguson live by the "snitches get stitches" code, and that means it's open season for anyone by the street trash thugs that live there.

Face it...black on black crime is the white elephant in the room (no pun intended). Imagine how society would be if these BLM people turned on their own race, and held their lowest common denominator to task. Racism would dissolve if all blacks just did their part in society.

Then again....there ain't no rap songs about staying in school, or teen girls keeping their legs closed.

Black on Black crime is the reason for everything: the high murder rate, the high crime rate and the high number of cops patrolling those streets, shooting thugz or the occasional innocent person who makes the wrong move a bit too fast at teh wrong time.

What snark? Fact is that black men are much less at risk of being killed by white cops than by other black men, like 1/1000 less.
 
This topic is cancer.
 
A similar crime happened there two years ago. Deandre Joshua was found dead of a gunshot wound in a burning car. 5 other men were found dead of gunshot wounds in burning vehicles in this area since. All are unsolved. The fact that the people who live in this area have been mum on these very public murders suggests to me that it's all gang related.

Yep. This appears to be the MO of some group of St. Louis hoodlums. The neighborhood knows the MO so they stay quiet.

The only unanswered question for me is why this group targeted Darren Seals.. was it just random? Did they think he was carrying wads of BLM money?

It shouldn't be though. I've said it before. If whites were killing each other at 500 per year in a city like Chicago, we'd hire us a J Edger Hoover all over again. We certainly would not make cops the enemy for blowing away thugs.

I think we can rule out BLM money since he was a vocal opponent of BLM. My guess is drugs, he witnessed something he shouldn't have, or he made enemies because of his deep involvement in community improvement work.

The guy was out in the middle of the night, during the middle of the week. It was almost assuredly drugs, but we'll never know.
 
It could also simply be a robbery gone bad where the robber tried to cover their tracks. It could be a gang hit. Could have been done by the wife for all we know. It could be any number of things. None having to do with BLM or the government. Let's wait to hear what the evidence says?

If he was being targeted by another gang, its really too bad for him that he hated the police, they might have saved his ass if he'd have called them.
