Black Protester Shot to Death Outside Omaha Bar

A young black protester was shot dead outside a bar in Omaha as unrest across the nation engulfed the Nebraska city, by white supremacist Jake Gardner.

The victim was identified as 22-year-old James Scurlock, whose father called for justice as the city braced for another night of chaos.

“Last night I lost a son, my wife lost a son, my kids lost a brother,” the grieving dad, who has the same name, told reporters at the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation Visitors Center, “His daughter lost a father. All because he decided to protest against racism.“

Unfortunetly, Prosecutors in Omaha, Nebraska, said Monday that the white bar owner will not face charges because in their minds “video evidence shows he acted in self defense” even though he had aimed the gun to a crowd of unarmed protesters and James only got involved to protect anyone form getting shot, resulting in losing his life, as both videos here show: video1/video2

The murderer, Jake Gardner, also owns 2 bars one of which was closed down because of an outpour of reviews stating they woulf often refuse service to black people and were known as violent racists. His other bar seems to be having the same issues.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: Call county Attorney Don Kleine and Mayor Stotgert. Demand justice and demand Jake Gardner be held responsible for the murder!!

justin colby has been taken into custody by chicago police, and his family hasn’t heard from since. the police is now lying that they have him in his custody.

[image description: the first tweet is by user trillxmomma and reads, in all caps, “HF STUDENT JUSTIN COSBY TAKEN INTO POLICE CUSTODY LAST NIGHT AND NOW HE IS MISSING”. attached are to the tweet are two photos. the first photo is a screenshot of a facebook message from user grace tosi. it reads “Justin Cosby is missing. He is one of ours. He is apart of the HF community. HE IS MISSING. He was arrested, and from what I heard, also beaten because he squirted CPD with water guns at last nights protest. That should not result in being beaten and arrested. If you hold any type of power, use it for good now. Right now. Make your calls. Help his family find him. He was arrested around 8:30 pm and that was the last time he was seen. His date of birth is 8/14/2000. Are you still wondering how you can help all that’s going on? HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.” the second photo attached to the tweet is a photo of justin cosby. he is a young black man with short textured hair. he is wearing a dark blue zip up jacket that has a blue “M” on the chest.]

[image description: the second tweet by user “imyagirleva” and reads “Justin Cosby was detained by the police last night at the protest, and no one has heard from him since 8:40pm. THIS WAS THE LAST TIME HE WAS SEEN. His mother needs help finding him. She has called around and heard nothing. Please help!” attached to the tweet is a photo of a large group of chicago police men, at least ten cops, surrounding and restraining justin cosby. justin is looking at the camera in the photo, and he is slouched over while the police have his hands tied and are holding him up.]

UPDATE: This is the gofundme for his bail. After a long search his phone has been tracked to a precinct in chicago. His bail would be about $20,000. The comedy club he works for set up donations for his bail.

Hello! For those of you who don’t know, my name is Amira Hasib, I graduated last year from Pratt Insitute with a BFA in Film/Video. I am current looking to shoot my first film since college, “Before,  After & In Between”, but I need your help! 

I’m a black female filmmaker that graduated from Pratt Institute in May 2018. Before, After & In Between will be my first film since college however the reason why it’s important to me is because I want to use it to launch my career and base who I am around its premise–black female vulnerability.

In order to bring this project to life, I need to raise a heaping $10,500! 

MOST money will go to EQUIPMENT!!!! since I no longer have access to any since I graduated, and the rest to securing locations, transportation, and feeding the cast! Everyone is working for free and donating their time so it is only right for this project to come to life the way I see it in my head. (all this is broken down on the campaign page)

If you support black women in film, check out the Indiegogo page as well as the details below!

The Story

Through a series of vignettes, we follow Amber as she navigates her way through modern dating–a world full of situationships, misunderstandings, and unspoken feelings. From an awkward first kiss, to an even more awkward first time, Amber laters finds an unexpected first love. “Before, After and In Between” details the before, the start, the end and the aftermath of their situation-ship and calls into question what true love really is.

Before, After & In Between is about finding strength in vulnerability. Black women are often not given room to be vulnerable, and awkward. 

A glimpse of what’s in store…

I made a film within the same realm while I was a sophomore in college called Last Call. It is a short  that shows the start and end of a lesbian relationship through a series of  flashbacks soundtracked by a voicemail.

Check out  Last Call here! 

The Impact

This is a film not about race that it is about race. I want to normalize stories about people of color outside of our pain. There is so much beauty and nuance in our everyday lives that is often overlooked by the white gaze. I want to build a platform with this film and my future films that normalizes black girls as multidimensional people vs. being traditionally portrayed as racist tropes (the mammy, the ghetto/rachet one, the undesirable one).

So, all in all, we have 30 days to raise $10,500! I hope you all can help me get this film made! All prizes and further details are on the Indiegogo page!

I hope you all believe in this project as much as I do and will ensure I can get it made! Thank you!

SUPPORT BLACK WOMEN IN FILM AND LET’S GO, GO, GO!

The sky turned completely black around three in the afternoon partly because of smoke coming from the Amazon rainforest, WHICH IS 2300 KILOMETERS AWAY FROM THE CITY, where the government has greatly increased the amount of land being burned for profit. People are getting sick, animals are dying, native territory is being lost to the flames.

This is what the sky looked like in my city yesterday, in the early afternoon.

It got so dark so fast the city had to turn on the lamp posts and night lighting.
