Mysterious Deaths Leave Ferguson Activists 'On Pins and Needles' https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/ferguson-death-mystery-black-lives-matter-michael-brown-809407/amp/ 
 @21be5ca6 That never impressed me for this reason: Masri was never very important, and in fact, his “pigs in a blanket” mistake was a massive publicity fail for the movement and a huge help to the white supremacist counter-movement. The others were local activists with no national presence. All the “branded” activists, especially the BLM founders who weren’t even there, did pretty well for themselves. And still do.
