And at a minimum his crew should’ve caught beatdowns for failing to protect him.

How the fukk you let the boss get merked and NO ONE else gets touched or fires a single shot on whatever direction the bullets came from?

:stopitslime:

Now i know breh was on his non violent shyt but he needed more protection than hand holding at marches and cops pretending to care. shyt, he even got STABBED by a “sista” in Harlem.

:stopitslime:

But real talk, who in their right mind books a MOTEL with the doors/windows exposed to the street and other buildings?

Now, I know him and the crew couldn’t stay at the Four Seasons but this was the best they could do? :hhh:

If it wasn’t that day, they weren’t gonna stop until he was dead. All the high profile assassinations that occurred in relatively quick succession(JFK, Malcolm, Martin, RFK). No amount of protection would’ve prevented his death.

Facts. They were shooting Kennedys like the water pistol game at the carnival but MLK got touched so many damn times that his security needed a fukkin upgrade.

Mans should’ve humbled up and got that FOI stimmy package so he could’ve at least gone down swinging.

I’d image at the end dude was so jaded and tired from work that he was like “aw fukk it. Y’all got me”

I wondered why Martin and his entourage went to a regular motel instead a five star with top notch security. Also, how was JER was able to track Martin down to the exact motel he was staying in and knew the exact time he came in and out of the place?

Jim Crow laws..

Choice of hotels a black person could stay were small compared to whites.

FBI was following him (and Malcolm) 24/7. When MLK got shot, they pulled up SECONDS later on some “we’re here to help” :troll: shyt even tho James Earl Ray had an FBI file that they may or may not have cooked up just to pin the murder on him with no questions.

No fukkin way he pulled that off without help from law enforcement.

This dude wasn’t on some James Bond shyt where he could merk someone, leave the scene as the Feds were right there and not be apprehended for weeks
