Vaya Con Dios RIP
LINK
Quote: | The Black Lives Matter activist Erica Garner has died, after a week in hospital following a heart attack. She was 27. Garner was the daughter of Eric Garner, a man who died in a police chokehold in New York in 2014 |
Quote: | Eric Garner, who was 43, died in Staten Island in July 2014 after a white police officer subdued him with an illegal chokehold, during an arrest over the alleged sale of untaxed loose cigarettes. He also suffered from asthma. His last words, “I can’t breathe”, became a slogan for activists protesting police brutality against African Americans. |

What makes you think her death will bring out conspiracists?
Quote: | Her mother, Esaw Snipes, told the New York Times earlier this week her daughter learned during her recent pregnancy that she had heart problems. Snipes said Garner had a heart attack after an asthma episode and was placed in a medically induced coma. |

Where does it say She's way too young to have a heart attack? People have heart attacks in their teens and younger. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

In the interest of being as polite as I can, I'll just say this. That statement demonstrates a severe lack of knowledge. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Just tragic. Her dad was taken unfairly, and now her. I have to imagine the stress/agony of losing her father and fighting for her cause did not help her health. |
