A prominent Black Lives Matter activist in the UK was shot in the head by a gang of four black men, police have confirmed.
Sasha Johnson was left in critical condition after four men dressed in dark clothing “entered the garden of the property and discharged a firearm,” according to Met Commander Alison Heydari.
The attack occurred at 3am at a house party in Peckham, south London.

Summit.news reports: BLM activists initially tried to suggest that the shooting may have been a targeted attack, asserting that Johnson had received death threats prior to the incident.
However, police say there is no evidence Johnson was deliberately targeted and her friend Imarn Ayton told the BBC, “the incident is more related to rival gangs as opposed to her activism.”
During a vigil for Johnson on Monday afternoon, BLM supporters were still erroneously blaming other entities for her shooting, with one speaker asserting, “I want to say to some of the media here, you guys caused some of this shit.”
Another speaker seemed more concerned about “white supremacist media” controlling the narrative of the story, stating, “Don’t give them a story, don’t give them a narrative, don’t give them anything until they give us something.”
Immediately after the shooting, Labour MP Diane Abbott suggested with absolutely no evidence that Johnson had been targeted for her activism, tweeting, “Nobody should have to potentially pay with their life because they stood up for racial justice” with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter.”

In 2019, from a population that only represents 13% of the US population, there were 10,170 Murdered Black people in the US, representing 53% of all the murdered people in the US.
In 2019, the police Department shot 5 Black people who were unarmed and were not trying to flee. One death would be too many.
If BLM had one ounce of interest in cutting the near suicidal murder rate of the Black population, they would be throwing their demonstrations in Black Communities and schools – demanding that Black kids focus on an education instead of gangs.
Meanwhile, in 2018, only 4.3% of the graduating engineering students were Black, not 13%.
Thanks for that.
Howdy Natural_Texan. I’ve never understood why Republican politicians and speakers don’t counter the BLM movement with facts. The murdered body count is from the CDC. The police information is from the Washington Post (of all places) police shooting database that the WP created.
I know Tucker Carlson reported on it once. But I would think Republicans would be showing the data all the time. If the BLM group had any desire to help the Black Community, they would be directing their rage at their own communities and school kids. Their focus should be how education is the key to the Financial Middle Class and safety for their kids.
Remember, there are no black engineers because math is racist.
Howdy Shemp Howard. Math Racist, isn’t that just nuts? I suppose emptying the garbage and waiting for a Red light is also Racist.
Sasha was in gang, is anyone surprised?
Hes got liver disease Probably from a dirty needle or sexual contact Most likely he was shot for drug related reasons Hes got really unhappy eyes Its really a tragedy young people worship being drugged.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Well….now we know of at least ONE black life that DOESN’T matter …. Wish I could elicit some sympathy but I simply can not
I’m perfectly fine with them offing their own. That needs to increase.
4 of them and they couldn’t finish the job? Incompetent. I can remove the wings off of a fly at 25 yds.
