A heart-wrenching story has emerged from Atlanta, Georgia. On Saturday evening, July 4th, Charmaine Turner and her daughter Secoriea were driving with a friend when they attempted to turn into a store near a group of armed Black Lives Matter protestors. This was on University Ave. near the burned-out Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks was killed when he attempted to fire a taser against officers who were trying to arrest him. The area has become a site for frequent demonstrations against police brutality.
Two of the BLM activists opened fire on their vehicle for not complying with their roadblock, and 8-year-old Secoriea Turner was shot. She died in her mother’s arms as they attempted to escape the area and get to a hospital.
The police statement said,
“At some point, someone in that group opened fire on the vehicle, striking it multiple times and striking the child who was inside. The driver drove the girl to Atlanta Medical Center but she did not survive.”
Atlanta police are currently looking for two shooters.
Quite frankly, it appears that Mayor Keisha Bottoms has lost control of the city. Violent BLM terrorists are running amok. Mayor Bottoms continues to negotiate with BLM while such heinous activities are going on. Is this was a white supremacist group, would she still be negotiating?
There is nothing to “understand” about some vicious criminal exploiting some call for racial “justice” to kill a young girl. This must be shouted out over and over. The dregs of our society are committing mayhem and little or nothing is being done to stop it.
Where is CNN on this story? Aren’t their headquarters in Atlanta? George Floyd, who died of a drug overdose while in police custody, was a national story for weeks. When I did an internet search for this story, I did not see any of the MSM except Fox News come up. Where are the Hollywood celebrities expounding their dismay at this story?
As I have noted here before, black lives do not matter to BLM. Originally BLM was purely grass-roots, and came into being over the Trayvon Martin death. That in itself was a faux beginning since it has been shown conclusively that a fake witness was used to get an indictment against George Zimmerman.
Subsequently a different group appropriated the BLM name. Suddenly BLM was only nominally about police brutality and the death of black citizens. This is obvious from the many areas where BLM does not make its presence felt. These include abortion, failing public schools in minority communities, black on black killings in our major cities, etc. BLM morphed into a typical hard-left, anti-capitalism, “systemic racism” group. The new BLM’s goal is the overthrowing of the government of the United States.
Today BLM is an amalgam of young, white Marxists and the dregs of the black community. Look closely at some “protests” involving BLM and you will see this. At this point their only interest is in accruing power. Perhaps it is time to call out the corporate sponsors of BLM. Perhaps it is time for America to know which corporations are supporting this crap.
