Ferguson riot activists showing up dead

Looks as if we have a new racial conspiracy in the works. You be the judge. I'm going with karma is a bitch.
This is what is called a stretch

The sometimes-violent deaths of a half-dozen men linked to the 2014 protests that rocked Ferguson, Mo., including two found in burning cars and three who allegedly committed suicide, have sparked fears that something sinister is afoot, The Associated Press reported in an extensive investigation.
Police say the deaths, which also included a man who collapsed on a bus due to an overdose, have nothing to do with the protests that rocked the small city near St. Louis following the police-involved shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. But others involved in the protests say the strange events are piling up.
The Rev. Darryl Gray told the Associated Press he found a suspicious box inside his car and when authorities came to inspect they found a 6-foot python inside.
“Everybody is on pins and needles,” Gray said.
No arrests have been made in the two homicides as St. Louis County police spokesman Shawn McGuire told the Associated Press witnesses have just refused to answer questions, leaving the investigation with no leads.
“We don't believe either one was connected to each other,” McGuire said, adding “It's tough to come up with a motive without a suspect.”
In the years since the protest of the police-involved shooting, activists said they’ve been targeted in dangerous ways.
“Something is happening,” Cori Bush, a leader of the Ferguson protests, told The Associated Press. “I've been vocal about the things that I've experienced and still experience — the harassment, the intimidation, the death threats, the death attempts.”
Bush told The Associated Press her car has been run off the road, her home vandalized and someone fired a bullet into her home in 2014 – narrowly missing her 13-year-old daughter. She suspected she’s been targeted by white supremacists or police sympathizers.

I don't believe any of that.

What's happening is she lives in a violent place among violent people.

Character is destiny. Shitbags die shitbag deaths.

Sounds like the sorts of random crimes you expect in a city like St Louis. Honestly nothing to write home about.
Sounds like the lady who thought pollen on her cars was racist.

Deandre Joshua's body was found inside a burned car blocks from the protest. The 20-year-old was shot in the head before the car was torched.
Darren Seals, shown on video comforting Brown's mother that same night, met an almost identical fate two years later. The 29-year-old's bullet-riddled body was found inside a burning car in September 2016.
MarShawn McCarrel, 23, of Columbus, Ohio, shot himself in February 2016 outside the front door of the Ohio Statehouse, police said. He had been active in Ferguson.
Edward Crawford Jr., 27, fatally shot himself in May 2017 after telling acquaintances he had been distraught over personal issues, police said. A photo of Crawford firing a tear gas canister back at police during a Ferguson protest was part of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage.
In October, 24-year-old Danye Jones was found hanging from a tree in the yard of his north St. Louis County home. His mother, Melissa McKinnies, was active in Ferguson and posted on Facebook after her son's death, 'They lynched my baby.' But the death was ruled a suicide.
Bassem Masri, a 31-year-old Palestinian American who frequently livestreamed video of Ferguson demonstrations, was found unresponsive on a bus in November and couldn't be revived. Toxicology results released in February showed he died of an overdose of fentanyl.
The Ferguson protests added momentum to the national Black Lives Matter movement, but they also generated resentment from people angered by TV footage of protesters hurling rocks and insults at police. Amid lingering anger, activists and observers say that while they see no clear connection between the deaths and the protests, they can't help but wonder about the thoroughness of the investigations.

I wonder what their connection to the Clintons was?

Degenerate thugs burned down Ferguson Missouri.
Degenerate thugs later found dead after presumably doing hood rat shite.
I see nothing fishy about this...

Yep. Remember the thugs who beat Reginald Denny during the L.A. riots? One of them was later murdered and another went to prison.

The leading cause of death among black people is other black people.

Part of the Democratic Socialists group. I wouldn't take anything she says seriously. She's only interested in sowing chaos.
