I think it's fucking bullshit they murdered Fred Hampton and got away with it.

And then people wonder where the modern-day civil rights leaders are. The U.S. government will murder anyone who gains the ability to upset the status quo. The best we're going to get is social media personalities like Dr. Umar and comedians like Charlamagne Tha God.

I would imagine that anyone familiar with his story, that happens to have any semblance of critical thinking skills, feels the same way.

Anyone who has both characteristics above, and still dismisses Fred Hampton's assassination as justified, is an enemy.
