M. Simon sent me a link to a report about an Occupy rally which has me puzzled:
Multiple speakers preached explicit violence at the Occupy The Justice Department rally in Washington DC Tuesday. Speeches at this event were focused on Trayvon Martin and freedom for radical journalist and convicted cop killer, Mumia Abu-Jamal.
Typical leftie fringe. Nothing surprising there. What has me confused is this:
Activist Pam Africa closed out the event on Pennsylvania Ave. with a rousing speech encouraging people to cast out in vengeance against the “M***er F***er“ who ”blew the brains out of a brother.”
“Don‘t push for nothin’ you ain’t prepared to do,” Africa lamented. “I have yet to pick up a paper and see where somebody has dealt with a situation where some m***** f***** took aim and blew the brains out of a brother.”
Africa followed up with a call for action: “We cannot be up on stage talkin’ s**t, that you gonna do something that never f***ing materialize.”
The rally eventually moved to the White House where the expletive-laden rant turned into a popular chant: “Obama come out, we got some s**t to talk about!”
I realize they’re mad at Obama, but who is the “m***** f***** took aim and blew the brains out of a brother”?
Have I missed something? Precisely who had his brains blown out? Surely it wasn’t Trayvon Martin (who as everyone knows by now, was shot in the chest), so I’m clueless. (Pam Africa, btw, happens to be a famous activist: she has been described at the prestigious Philly.com as “one of the most significant rights leaders in the past forty-years.”)
Does anyone know who she’s talking about? I’m curious.
I really should do a better job of keeping up, but whatever.

You didn’t miss anything; she’s talking about Trayvon.
Facts don’t matter to leftists. Never have, never will.
What Kelly said.
Activists (with few exceptions, oddly enough commonly on the firearms and self-defense side) tend to be very fast-and-loose with mere facts.
Didn’t the MOVE black separatists all take “Africa” as their last name? And wasn’t that cult primarily located in Philly? And didn’t they have a particularly violent run-in with authorities a couple of decades ago?
Pam Africa? That would be one of the Operation MOVE maniacs, then? Good Lord, they were so violently crazy that they even scared other leftists.
“And didn’t they have a particularly violent run-in with authorities a couple of decades ago?”
Yes. They bought a house in a mixed-race working-class Philly neighborhood, fortified it (complete with blockhouse on roof!), installed loudspeakers, and then spent their time haranguing, harassing, and terrifying their neighbors to the point where they begged the city to do something about the nut-jobs. It ended with a gun battle and siege in which the house eventually burned down (due police smoke grenades started a fire.) Tragically, the fire spread to neighboring row houses and burned down half the block.
If somebody supports MOVE you don’t need to know anything more: They’re evil and insane.
I recall that the police dropped an explosive/chemical device from a helicopter on the roof which is what started the fire.
Richard, I think you’re right and I was wrong–and they dropped it onto the blockhouse.
That’s our Africas! God love ’em. They got millions from the city and were back asking for more in the past few years because their new digs didn’t work out. Don’t have a clue who the brotha was who got his m****** f***** brains blown out, there are so darn many, it’s hard to keep track. I know they’re always on about Mumia, perhaps Pam got confused and started talking about Daniel Faulkner the cop he killed.
Real name is Jeanette Patton, and little wonder she uses a pseudonym:

I’d like to know why she is so highly respected. Reminds me of Bill Ayers.

From the Reuters article on George Zimmerman
A brother kills a brother, apparently in self-defense, and she gets all bent out of shape.
How often does she go off the deep end about killings in Philadelphia? Just wondering.
Yep, she’s one of those lunatic MOVErs who “graced” my city. Given that their last major interaction with a black governmental executive officer ended with said executive having a bomb dropped on her house, it’s surprising she wants a “conversation” with the man who controls the 82nd Airborne.
Why is it activism seems to draw the stupidest people?

Thanks for the H/T!
