Discussion: Black Pro-Confederate Flag Activist Dies In Car Crash After Apparent Chase

Discussion for article #238578

The details in this article are a little bit confusing or are not well-written. She gave him a ride back from the rally but was the passenger?

Was she driving? Texting and driving? If so, then canā€™t blame someone else for the wreck. Lady, both hands on the wheel, especially if someone else driving is harassing you. That said, it is very sad that he died, but I think he was very misguided. Maybe he personally wasnā€™t offended, but hopefully he at least understood why other people of color would be.

Strange ā€¦ but maybe not. It will be interesting to hear the results from the Mississippi State Highway Patrolā€™s investigation. Itā€™s also strange the survivor of the crash was someone who ā€œdidnā€™t really know Hervey,ā€ ā€œgave Hervey a rideā€ but she was the passenger when the crash occurred. If, as she claimed, someone was chasing them and was the true cause of this deadly crash, then I hope that party is found and brought to justice.

Lordy lordy lordy, what has happen to old black johnny? Was he driving to fast or folding his confederate shit paper called a flag while changing lanes?

Also, just to be clear, if Iā€™m ever pinned inside an upside down vehicle with gas leaking donā€™t tweet about it until after youā€™ve helped me out.

I donā€™t the true story of what exactly happen. Story sounds fishyā€¦however, I generally donā€™t feel this way about ā€˜conservative blackā€™ activist, but I have to say with him being a ā€˜pro-confederacy black man:ā€™ Good riddance to bad rubbish!!!

ā€œThe first of them seemed to hint at another party being involved somehow: ā€œThey after us.ā€ā€

One of the linked reports says,

ā€¦she was letting him drive her truck as they neared his hometown of Oxford so that he may navigate the area that was familiar to him.

Typically, rightwingnews.com has already taken it upon themselves to decide that they were ā€œlikelyā€ run off the road by New Black Panthers members. Because the race in this story isnā€™t going to bait itself.

Kind of surprised they didnā€™t plug this one into Jade Helm, honestly.

Yesā€¦ post to Facebook instead of calling 911. That will work.

More than a little callous, donā€™t you think?

Yeah, Iā€™m not buying this BS story. Iā€™d like to hear the 911 call, if there was one.

That was my first thought. You just got in a car accident, there is someone trapped in your car, the car is leaking gasoline and your first response is to post about it on Facebook!? WTF?

ā€¦and almost as strangely some Facebook ā€œfriendsā€ ā€œlikedā€ those posts. Who the hell ā€œlikesā€ a post about someone being pinned in a car after an accident with gas leaking??
