A Black Lives Matter activist killed himself on the steps of the Ohio Statehouse, authorities said.
MarShawn McCarrel, 23, shot himself in front of the Columbus building Monday evening, Lt. Craig Cvetan of the State Highway Patrol told the Columbus Dispatch.
?My demons won today. I'm sorry,? the activist, who recently attended the NAACP Image Awards, posted on his Facebook page around 3 p.m., just hours before his body was found near the Statehouse.
His last tweet read: ?Let the record show that I pissed on the state house before I left.?
No one witnessed the shooting, Cvetan said. McCarrel was pronounced dead at the scene.

(The Ohio activist organized protests after Michael Brown's police shooting in Ferguson, Mo., and worked with Black Lives Matter.)
McCarrel, who had recently worked with Black Lives Matter, helped organize protests in Ohio after a Missouri cop shot and killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in 2014.
He also founded youth mentorship program Pursuing Our Dreams, which launched Feed the Streets, a project to help Ohio's homeless.
He attended the NAACP?s Image Awards on Friday, Pursuing Our Dreams wrote on its Facebook.
The 23-year-old community organizer was named one of Radio One?s Hometown Champions, an award for community activists and volunteers, earlier this year and earned a trip to the California awards show. He took his mom to the Friday night ceremony.
"He is selfless and will give his last in order to make sure others don't go without,? read a nomination page for the Hometown Champions Award. ?MarShawn has come so far in life and has inspired so many people to help others?.
McCarrel was homeless for three months after he graduated from high school ? an experience that inspired him to help others, according to his nomination.
?When MarShawn got back on his feet, he felt the need to give back because so many people helped him when he was down,? it read. ?MarShawn stresses the importance of having conversations with the people we feed because they'll get hungry in 2 hours but a good conversation will carry them over for a lifetime.?
?All everyone needs is love,? he told 614 Columbus in 2014, referring to his work with the Feed the Streets. ?That?s a human being. That?s a pulse. We?re feeding everyone, we?re sending the message ? today I got you; tomorrow, I could be right there.?

Wtffff
Such a handsome young man too
What a dummy
Eek
That must be horrible for a mother, not only to lose your child, but to know that your child did it on purpose. At least with murder, etc. there's a clear reason. But not only will she have to deal with grief she'll have to deal with questions as well for the rest of her life. Suicide is so selfish.
I'm wondering what made him do this? Is this gonna become a "thing"?

Of course
um..
some of the gorls want to give legendary teas I suppose.
but they have to keep in mind that people like MLK and Malcolm lost their lives due to their lifetime works
and enemies made in the process. if MLK would have decided to shoot himself at 25 what progress would have been made? a news headline, a few condolences, and people would have moved on with their lives. true progress takes dedication and work, not one self worshipping, self martyring act. the whites are kii'ing right now.
Guys one of you kill yourself for brandy and we'll go half on the cash
I'll write a really good story.

What the heck man
Not Good..
What a fucking dummy. I mean granted there could be more to the story but what did he accomplish? You'll be a news story for 24 hours then forgotten the next day.
He said his demons won. That leaves me to conclude he was dealing with a lot and didn't kill himself just to make a point. I think once he decided to take his life, he saw that as a way of making a statement. Doesn't make what he did any better, but a lot of people don't know the struggles of persons at the front line of causes. At the end of last year one of my friends, Zenita, a human rights activist and feminist, committed suicide. No one could understand it because just a few months before she was awarded the US Embassy's Woman Of Courage Award for her work on the front lines of these struggles. I say all that to say, people battle all sorts of issues SILENTLY. And the ones that fight for everyone else usually don't have anyone fighting for them. I can't judge him for his choice. Hopefully he finds the peace he so badly needed.
You have a good point Shuj :stressed:

Why don't you kill yourself you fat illiterate fag? Where did he say he killed himself FOR Black Lives Matter? His tweet says his demons won. It's clear he was dealing with other issues and after he made up his mind, used his suicide to try to make a statement. You're one burger away from a heart attack. Why not go to Burger King for lunch love?
