(TW: violence, descriptions of dismemberment, racism, hate crimes)
Rasheem Carter, a 25-year-old Mississippi black man, called his mother in a panic, stating that a group of white men in three pickup trucks were chasing him as they yelled racial slurs. That was the last time Carter’s family heard from him. He was reported missing the next day, on October 2, 2022.
A month later, authorities found his remains in the woods of Taylorsville, Mississippi. Carter had been decapitated and dismembered, with his spinal cord found detached from the rest of his body. NBC News states, “It's unclear what prompted authorities to search the wooded area or what led them to determine initially that foul play was not suspected. The Smith County Sheriff’s Department did not reply to requests for comment.”
During the press conference (at about 4:30 on the video), Carter’s mother reads aloud a chilling text from her son expressing concern about an employer: “Me and the owner of this company are not seeing eye to eye, Mama. If anything happens to me, he’s responsible for it…he’s got these guys that want to kill me.” She received the message on October 1st, the day before Carter’s disappearance. Despite all of this, the Smith County Police Department released a statement asserting that they “had no reason to suspect foul play.”
Also worth noting, during the most recent protest in Taylorsville for Rasheed Carter, a demonstrator wrote “Rasheem’s life mattered on the street.” After the protest, Gabe Horn, Taylorsville’s chief of police posted a Facebook photo of the message in chalk being power washed off with the caption “Little clean up!!! 👋” (seen in the picture above).
My two cents: this is nothing but a lynching, with the police covering it all up. I’m not a detective, but it doesn’t take a fucking rocket scientist to tell that this was a murder. This is one of the most obvious cover-ups I’ve ever seen. And they wonder why we don’t feel safe with them, why we don’t trust them. White supremacists have been embedded in American law enforcement since the damn slave patrols in the south. Fuck the entire department and everyone involved in this horrific, disgusting act.
Here’s the Carter family’s GoFundMe. Please help if you can.
Yeah yeah monsterfucking, yeah yeah uniform fetish, yes cool character design, yes good villain,,,,,,,,,,,does it feel not a little odd to anyone that essentially ALL of the fandom takeaway from the kkkop-domestic-abuse-prison-rape-police-brutality metaphor walking around delivering slur monologues is “oh I’m so horny for him”?
I was talking with some ppl about a Nazi who's been vandalizing in a city and trying to gather info to we could properly warn the public since said Nazi brags about living next to POC and LGBT
And these people start sending info gathered to the fucking cops and FBI
Mind you said nazi, although dangerous, has mostly just been doing Graffiti in Abandoned buildings, so although yes a nazi, its petty crime.
And not only that but like how are you gonna be ACAB and "Cops are useless" "KKKops are racist!" And then run to report a racist to said racist cops. Like not only are you just going back on what you say you believe you're also endangering ppl bc the FBI will just go "Oh a nazi...HEY A COMMUNIST??? WORD LETS GET EM BOYS"
I can't fucking do this this is why I gather Intel by myself holy shit
the malice, indifference, negligence, and disregard for human life consistently displayed by the kkkops does not make me want them to be the only people allowed to have guns.
furthermore, there is no law you could possibly pass in america that would prevent every person determined to get a gun from getting one. there’s 350+ million privately owned guns in this country.
i’m no expert but i don’t think sweeping gun control is a possible solution or remediation of the gun violence problem in amerikkka. reasonable, comprehensive regulations on who can get a gun are ok in theory, but at the end of the day all laws in amerikkka are enacted by the police state, enforced by the state’s police, and inevitably used as cudgels against oppressed peoples.
wanna solve a social problem? perhaps ask a sociologist, not a politician, for the solution.
