darren seals organized the first protests in ferguson, MO in between twelve hour shifts on the GM assembly line. i get why liberals would be working overtime to strip the 6+ years of unrest that followed of its class character, but those on the left assisting this are suspect

he was well aware of the “out of towners,” the cadres of teach for america alumni sent by the obama administrationto mollify protestors with liberal reformism. but he was still out there, he didn’t let up

until he, like many of the more radical organizers (but not the TFA alumni) was killed under suspicious circumstances. he knew it was a risk, he frequently documented getting hassled by police on his fb live streams. but he wasn’t afraid, he just kept doing what he needed to do
