This is ridiculous. Please pass this story around and blog about it so this man can get justice (not Just Us, ya dig)!!! We send love out to this brother and hope for his speedy recovery.
This is Kaylon Johnson.
SBC360.blogspot.com has the full story on this man’s horrific beating this Saturday at a gas station.
“And the injuries showing in this picture are the result of an assault on Kaylon by three White men early Sunday morning … all because he was wearing an Obama shirt.
Kaylon was a key coordinator in the Shreveport [LA] for Obama campaign. His tireless efforts helped Caddo Parish go BLUE. He was probably wearing one of the t-shirts he was selling when he was attacked.”
Looks like a hate crime to me. Other reports note that his attackers were “incensed by the Obama bumper stickers on Kaylon’s car and the Obama t-shirt Kaylon was wearing“.
