Ferguson Protest Leader Darren Seals Found Dead in Vehicle

[pintobean]

32. Think the person who shot Seals 7 times

three years ago might have done it? That was a year before the Brown shooting. Seems a lot more likely than a cop doing it.

August 3 ·

3 years ago on this day I was sitting in the hospital bed with 7 bullets in me. I was smiling the whole time and nobody understood why but I just had this feeling in me saying "you survived this because it's great things in your future". I went through unimaginable pain, family members turned they back on me while I was down, I was broke had to move in with my best friend and her son while I recovered. But I worked by way back up physically, mentally, and finically. Now 3 years later today I'm n my way to the most important meeting of my life

Maybe that's what's that smile was all about I just didn't know back then #August3rd

AUGUST 3RD 2013: It's crazy how time flies them two years feel like a whole lifetime since I got shot up. I never shared this picture with nobody mostly because u didn't ever want nobody to see me down and in pain but now I embrace it because it made me a better man then I ever been. August 3rd 2013 I was at a cousins house had just came from work not too long before and as I was outside waiting on a ride to pick me up somebody in black that I never seen got up on me and hit me up. The first shot went through the side of my stomach I was shocked and the impact sent me backwards everything moved in slow motion after that I know the billets was coming fast but it felt like they was literally in slow motion and everything around me stopped moving. At first I thought I was dead cuz it all went blank after that first shot but then as I heard all the other ones coming I snapped into defense mode. I blocked 3 bullets heading towards my face, two with the left hand one with the right. Then as I fell 2 more bullets ripped through my shoes one getting the side of my foot the other going through my two small toes. I was so numb at the moment I couldn't feel the pain I just laid there calmly so the bullets would t travel. The first thing I thought about was the most important person in the world to me and that's my baby brother Byron. What would he do without me? How would he feel if I die right now? How's he going to take it? All that shit was running through my head then I snapped out of it and a voice in my head said you gone make it through this you gone be ok. Then I looked at my body and saw more blood then I ever seen in my life I started feeling weak after that so I knew I had to do something or I would bleed out right there. I had been shot once before but never nothing like this so I didn't know if I was paralyzed or what. I moved my legs a little bit to make sure I could moved once I saw they was good I crawled back info he house my cousin was laid out drunk so I had to crawl past his drunk ass and head to the bs k door for help. Once I got out the back my cousin Lil-Tony baby mama ran up crying cuz she thought I was him after she peeped it was me she helped in the house and called the police. I took off my shirt and tied it around my waste to stop the bleeding as the police took like 30 minutes to get there then had the nerve to treat me like I did the crime once they got there. After telling them a million times I didn't know who shot me or why I just wanna get to the hospital they got mad and said they didn't give a fuck if I died. Once the ambulance came I went to he hospital I was there for close to two weeks and had two surgeries. I had visitors but nobody really rode it out with me the whole way besides my best friend/sister Porsha Ray Bryant (love her for life for that) so it taught me to be mentally and emotionally self dependent. It took 6 months for me to get back to normal so while I was down I just read and watched film trying to learn all the knowledge I could. I knew if I survived all of that it was because I had a special purpose in this world so I had to get ready for whatever that was. When you go through something like this it'll change you forever luckily for m it changed me for the better it made me fearless I know a lot of people say that but I mean it literally made me fearless once you don't fear death anymore nothing else even comes close to scaring you but decided instead of crashing out becoming a killer I would use it for the better, to stand up and fight for others. To be bold enough to say what most are afraid to say. To dare to try to become something in this world instead of being a typical nigga doing typical nigga shit. I can't make a fist with my left hand ever again so my days of fighting/boxing are over but now I fight with my mind which is a much strong weapon then my hands ever was. August 3rd is a day I'll never forget not only because of the pain I went through and still go through today because of it but also the man it made me become which is focused, motivated, and fearless........Idk what the future holds but I know greatness lies ahead of me because if it wasn't August 3rd 2013 would've been my last day #MyStoryINeverTold
