Did not take long apparently for tweets of this nature to start popping up:A Black Lives Matter activist killed himself on the steps of the Ohio Statehouse, authorities said.
MarShawn McCarrel, 23, shot himself in front of the Columbus building Monday evening, Lt. Craig Cvetan of the State Highway Patrol told the Columbus Dispatch.
“My demons won today. I'm sorry,” the activist, who recently attended the NAACP Image Awards, posted on his Facebook page around 3 p.m., just hours before his body was found near the Statehouse.

Is your thread about some random bloke who offed himself? In which case, what is there to discuss?
Or about conspiracy theories, which we can't discuss?

Wait, you're trying to tell me that some of those activists are mentally damaged persons?
I never saw that coming.

I don't personally believe that, but the fact that other BLM people are jumping to that conclusion is... interesting for lack of a better description. Originally Posted by Shibito

Didn't you hear? Police stations across the US have special officers that go out and shoot random black men. I hear they decide using a magic 8-ball. Originally Posted by Shibito

Let a police investigation happen, until then, there's no reason to believe there was any foul play.

From the snippet that was posted (didn't read full article) doesn't sound like it was a BLM action or anything, just someone who was very ill and ended up takign their life. Originally Posted by Linadra

EDIT: Read the full article. Doesn't seem like it was really a statement. It's no secret he wasn't happy with the state/gov. so that might have influenced his decision to go through with it all, and where. More like one final "fuck you" before he went.Last edited by Icuren; 2016-02-09 at 07:24 PM.

Maybe he was trying to show the world that inside our heads we're all the same purplish-pinkish-bloody goo. Originally Posted by Linadra

You showed that two people jumped to that conclusion. Do you think that is enough to brand an entire group? I have a lot of branding to do depending on your answer. Originally Posted by TITAN308

Why would he commit suicide? I thought black lives matter.

So if other people do it, it's fine? Or is this some attempt at whataboutism? Any way you look at it your post is bad. Originally Posted by jackofwind

Was this because of the Oscars or because the Panthers lost the Super Bowl?
