Seattle Shame: White Dudes LARP’ing as Cops Executed a Black Teen During a 2020 BLM/George Floyd Protest. No Charges Filed
The sadistic execution of a black child by white, queer CHOP security remains unsolved and largely unreported, despite the fact that dozens of witnesses and thousands of stream viewers watched live
“Oh, you’re not dead yet?” the CHOP shooter chuckled, before threatening to strike the mortally-wounded child, pinned to the seat in the wreckage of the truck.
“Do you want to get pistol-whipped?”
SEATTLE — A couple dozen of the most dedicated Black Lives Matter and social justice protestors…at a George Floyd protest…in the country’s most liberal city…in the Summer of 2020…stood by and witnessed the lynching of an unarmed black child by white, queer AR-toting leftist security volunteers.
And what occurred was something more than a shooting. After a couple dozen .223 rounds pierced the back window of an SUV driven by Mays, 16 and Robert Woods, 14 — the boys both sustained multiple serious gunshot wounds as bullets ripped through their seats and into torsos, arms, necks and heads.
The SUV crashed into a barrier.
The white transgender security lead for CHOP approached the bloodied teens, watching the heavily wounded Mays struggle against the crumpled frame of the car.
“Oh, you’re not dead yet,” the CHOP shooter chuckled, before threatening to strike the child.
“Do you want to get pistol-whipped?”
Four seconds later, a final **crack** ended the lynching.
Video of the SUV shows a solitary bullet hole through the front windshield.
This story occurs in Seattle. In 2020.
Hundreds of people know the identity of those who did it.
Thousands watched and saw who did it.
But given the choice between justice for a murdered unarmed black child…and facilitating the cover up of an extrajudicial killing?
Welp. Police were met with a wall of silence.
Even the black activists helped the white shooters locate spent brass, facilitated their exits, destroyed evidence and mopped up the crime scene.
As the mortally wounded boy was rushed to the trauma unit, the white CHOP security lead looked for shell casings around the shot up SUV.
“NO EVIDENCE!” yelled a black lives matter activist who’d traveled to the CHOP from Oakland.
The security lead encouraged protesters to pick up and pocket shell casings and he delegated sweeping duties to someone off camera
When homicide investigators arrived 5 hours later, they noted that the scene of the crime was irreparably disturbed. None of the witnesses would ID the shooters (despite the fact that an unarmed black child lay dead).
And while black activists on scene were balky to help destroy evidence of Mays’ murder, a rift between Seattle’s black activist community and the largely non-black, queer affinity groups that were more concerned with covering for the killers than seeking justice for the murdered teen.
Outside the relatively small percentage of black activists involved in Seattle revolutionary leftist politics, few if any leaders in the City of Seattle governance nor the Seattle protest community spent time contemplating the fact that the volunteer police force at this progressive utopia shot more black people per capita than any city in the country.
Five years later, the most widely-viewed lynching in modern American history remains unsolved.
An unarmed black child tormented in public by a white, AR-and-pistol toting non-heteronormative judge, jury and executioner. Dozens watch. None identify the shooter.
Five years later, the story remains largely untold.
But imagine this pitch at a morning news meeting three weeks after George Floyd: a city desk writer offers the story of “a couple white dudes with ARs murdering an unarmed injured black child at a George Floyd protest.”
While the livestreams rolled.
You’re about to review the entire ugly murder and its aftermath.
Meanwhile, Mays, Jr bled out on the filthy pavement of 12th Street, suffering for another 22 minutes as ill-qualified and unsympathetic leftists jammed gauze into his grievous head and torso wounds before eventually tossing the boy and his 14-year-old friend – also shot in the head and body – into a pair of beat-to-shit four doors, driven by morons barely capable of navigating the barrier maze of streets comprising the ten blocks between the scene of the crime and the trauma center, where the children were unceremoniously dumped.
Antonio Mays, Jr. suffered a painful and gruesome death. He died in agony from his wounds at 3:22 am on the morning of June 29, 2020.
Five Years Later
And yet, as we approach the five year anniversary of the most gruesome public lynching in recent memory, law enforcement in the most progressive city in one of the most progressive states in the country have yet to solve the killing.
And to date, media hasn’t obtained a SPD investigatory file.
No arrests have been made. But note the copywrite.
Although, as J425 will report — two shooters present at CHOP on June 29 have been questioned.
Including one with a history of “killing terrorists” and an online mea culpa that ranks right up there with OJ’s “I didn’t do it, but if I did…”
And despite the fact that Mays’ murder should inarguably be a bigger story than that of the man who sparked the 2020 Summer of protests in the first place?
Almost no one in the northwest talks about it.
Nearly no one outside of Western Washington knows about it.
Not only do Mays’ killers remain publicly unidentified, the largely white, queer affinity group responsible for Chop security remains part of the larger Seattle BLM/Antifa community, despite a brief spate of internal debate after some less than enlightened posts from security team members pleased with their bloody work.
And yet as Pride (Seattle’s 30 days of Christmas) begins in 2025, fissures around the edges of the region’s um unique set of values have appeared.
Rioting has kicked off in what used to be the CHOP.
The Feds are suddenly interested in the City of Seattle’s dedication to intersectional politics.
And in researching this story, J425 has not only uncovered the identities of those responsible, we’ve realized that perhaps the public wisdom needed not only to solve this horrific child murder – but to also address the growing divisions along ideological, geographical and political lines – has been present, here, amongst us…all along.
All of which is to say.
It’s about time to deliver justice to those responsible for the murder of Antonio Mays, Jr.
In the coming days we’ll roll out The Lynching of Antonio Mays, Jr — A J425 exclusive investigative series nearly five years in the making.
We’ll tell you who is responsible for Antonio’s death:
Individually.
We’ll exclusively report and ID the shooters questioned by authorities in the wake of the murder….examine their actions on archived video and social media…and arrive at a conclusion regarding their culpability).
Collectively.
We’ll dissect just how an affinity group of white queer anarchists known mainly for LARPing and sleeping in cuddle puddles ended up tasked with public safety responsibilities for the most raucous protest in the hottest summer since the sixties. More importantly, we’ll tell you whether anyone around here really gives a damn about black lives – or for that matter – the lives of children – when the matter is pressed right up into their grills.
Politically.
We’ll examine how elected and appointed political leaders created the situation that led to Mays’ murder…and how they’ve reacted since. Hint: the Mayor of Seattle tossed her phone in a bucket of water five days after Mays’ murder and the fire chief and police chief both copied this brave idea.
The fact that physical damage to phones shouldn’t also delete all relevant records in the cloud as well didn’t escape a Federal judge – but we’ll get to that.
Black v White: Battle Lines Drawn Inside Seattle’s Leftist Affinity Group Ecosystem
We’ll also examine how black and non-black affinity groups inside the Seattle leftist community reacted to a murder that threatened to lay their entire ethos bare – and we’ll discuss the external coverage of this story.
Or lackthereof.
Most importantly, we’ll talk about why. And how a murder witnessed by so many…has remained unsolved for almost five years – and whether justice for Antonio Mays Jr is anywhere on the horizon.
Finally, we’ll consider just what all of the above means for all of us, both now and in the future.
At the End of the Day
It’s very easy to get caught up in the endless characteristics and hierarchical sorting possibilities embraced by “the values of our community” as Mayor Harrell puts it.
At the end of the day though?
A child was tormented and murdered by adults. As other adults watched. Nobody did a damn thing about it then.
Nobody has done a damn thing about it since.
Who among is so wedded to an ideology that you’re prepared to sacrifice children?
Because we gotta start noting these people and getting ‘em up outta here.
This shit was a step wayyyy too far.
AND.
All of this was captured on video and livestream.
Any number of bystanders – BLM-affiliated or otherwise – could’ve stepped in as the non-black pseudo cops performed an even more disgusting version of injustice than the type they were supposedly protesting.
No one did.
Dozens of people could’ve identified the killers.
No one did.
A poorly funded investigator of below average ability – armed only with the interest in providing justice to murdered children – could’ve solved the crime. And yet no one has.
And across a media landscape that – one would assume – is rife with producers praying for just ONE good “armed white insurrectionist executes unarmed black person” story…no one has been that eager to take up for Antonio.
Why is that?
