Last weekend, the World was forcefully introduced to a British BLM activist named Sasha Johnson. She was shot in the head and her friend/colleagues/handlers were quick to point out she had been getting numerous threats against her life because of his racial work.
Headlines all over the webs:
Black Lives Matter activist Sasha Johnson shot in south-east London – The Washington Post
BLM activist Sasha Johnson critically injured in UK shooting – Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)
Of course, the strongly hited but not mentioned idea that it may have been racists white folks who hated her for her work needs no explanation. Who else would go after such a noble young warrior?
Then reality strikes:
And the way it reads now, she was indeed targeted, but by the wrong color people according to the official Narrative.
Sasha will be scrubbed from the news cycle soon and by Friday, not even BLM will acknowledge she exists.
The empty plate carrier shows that she was a poser. I guess the ballistic panels are too heavy. Only in America is someone safe enough to wear an empty plate carrier and carry a toy gun while protesting.
Then she finally met someone who is playing for real.
But you are correct- one black person getting shot by another happens so often that it isn’t news. So if it doesn’t fit the narrative, it is memory holed.
Someone on Reddit was sure it was white supremacists because “You don’t shoot someone you agree with.” I clued them in that even within movements with folks who agree with each other, there are attacks over personality and power. This looks to be unrelated directly to her activism, but there have been plenty of “inside jobs” in activism/politics.
Scrappy, just remind them of Trotsky, a fervent communist who was assassinated on orders from a fellow Russian communist named Stalin.
pkoning, that was the first instance I thought of, but decided to not start the laundry list… 😉
Why’d it take 4 black men to “discharge” a single firearm?
We need more of that shit here…
I thought the UK did not allow people to have guns ??? Oh wait, only the good people cannot have guns.
I guess her life didn’t matter…to her own kind.
