That’s a pulse. We’re feeding everyone, we’re sending the message — today I got you; tomorrow, I could be right there.” Tags: black lives matter , ohio , suicides , naacp http://m.nydailynews.com/news/national/activist-marshawn-mccarrel-kills-ohio-statehouse-article-1.2525393/ * Pics, Embedded links & video* ----------------------------------------- Black Lives Matter leader running for Baltimore mayor Christopher Brennan NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: 02/04/2016 12:35 PM ET http://m.nydailynews.com/news/national/black-lives-matter-leader-running-baltimore-mayor-article-1.251966/ * Embedded links * |

Breaks my heart to hear of this news. A talented mind, a passionate heart but a tormented soul. Unfortunately these three tend to go together when the passionate make a conscious decision to be stand up against apathy and fight for change.

One question that tends to confuse me..... For a race of people who claim to want equality why do they always tend to set themselves apart from others? For instance.... NAACP, Black Lives Matter, The National Black Caucus (this one especially.... they are a group within a govt supposedly representing ALL people!) How can you claim equality to be a goal you wish to accomplish when you set yourself apart from it in the 1st place?

Condolences to Marshawn's family.
Suicide, is an extremely selfish act. By ending his own life, he himself, has made a mockery of his own cause. #blacklivesdon'tmattertomarshawn |

It's not a issue of setting yourself apart from others it's about developing a voice for the masses that continue to be ignored. The movements you mentioned above are a reflection of these voices. And in all honesty these groups would not even exist if the popular or dominant cultures made a conscious decision to address the real issues of the lack of equality in our society. Until this happens there will continue to be organizations like #blacklivesmatter, LGBT and La Raza that continue to give a voice to the people that are ignored and the injustices against individuals that are justified by our society with victim blaming.

There should be an investigation, I'm sure there had to be a white cop involved in this somehow.

I think the confusion lies in the belief that blacks separated THEMSELVES 'blacks just got tired of being separated, waiting to be included, and turned to each other instead simple |

Regardless of what this guys views were. It is sad to see anyone kill themselves. For anyone to think that the only choice they have is death.. is sad Over 100 military active duty and veteran suicides every day, but 1 from the BLM movement and it makes national press? Go figure!

For anyone to think that the only choice they have is death.. is sad I totally agree, every human life has potential and value death is a part of living, but the circumstances can sometimes seem quite tragic and pointless |
