No “Black Lives Matter” Rallies in This Gruesome Death
Have you heard about the tragic, torturous death of Tamika Hurd, a Black woman who was reconnecting with her Christian faith? Probably not. No “Black Lives Matter” rallies for her because of how she died and the identity of who did it.
No Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson media hype over this because Tamika Hurd’s Black boyfriend, Charles Campbell Jr., allowed her to freeze to death and did nothing to save her. No viral videos going around showing her freezing to death. Her Black life apparently didn’t matter because the guy behind her death is also Black. And Black lives only matter when the people who allegedly take the life are White (or “White Hispanic”), right?
A Benton Township man has admitted to leaving a woman outside his house to freeze to death last year. Charles Campbell Jr., 49, pleaded guilty Monday to involuntary manslaughter in the Feb. 22, 2014, death of Tamika Hurd, 32. Campbell was arrested in September.
He told Berrien County Trial Court Judge Angela Pasula that Hurd was his girlfriend. The two lived together at a home on East Empire Avenue. Campbell’s lawyer, James Jesse, said Hurd’s brother dropped her off at home the night of Feb. 22, “highly intoxicated.” “She went in and out several times. It was cold with a lot of snow. He (Campbell) left her there and went shopping, and when he came back she was dead.”
Berrien Assistant Prosecutor Cortney O’Malley said a police investigation revealed that Hurd had taken a shower and was wet when she went outside without a coat, hat, boots or gloves. She said that although Campbell did not lock the woman out of the house, he knew that she was too drunk to get herself back in. O’Malley said it was between 24 and 27 degrees that night. Pasula accepted Campbell’s guilty plea, saying he acted in a grossly negligent manner that caused Hurd’s death.
I agree that this is not exactly murder, and the woman contributed to her own death by getting so drunk and going outside wet. We all must take personal responsibility for our actions and our lives, and had she done so, she would be alive today. But the boyfriend had to know she wasn’t in her right mind (and he could have prevented this tragedy if he gave a damn), and so the plea is probably appropriate. It sounds like this guy knew this woman would die and just didn’t care (although the tears in his eyes in the mugshot do look real and remorseful to me). Do you agree?
If a White boyfriend had done this to a Black woman, don’t you think there would be media outrage times 1,000, with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jacksons recruiting the ghost of Johnny Cochran to file suit?
From the Family Funeral Home in Benton Harbor, Michigan:
Tamika gave her life to Jehovah and she was working toward baptism at the time of her death. She was a sweet, caring, likable person who loved children and life. Tamika was well known and those who knew her well will truly miss her. She loved her family and loved the times she spent with the ones she loved.
Tamika Hurd, Rest In Peace. Jesse and Al are resting in silence because her boyfriend has the right skin complexion. Ditto for all the BoBo White liberal hipsters who usually join in their riots.

It’s not just with Ms. Hurd’s case that some black lives matter more than others (i.e. those of criminal elements as opposed to the law abiding) to this front group for criminals whose financing was at least in part (from my recollection) by the likes of George Soros. They weren’t exactly out in force over the murder of NYPD Officer Randolph Holder, either. (And Al Sharpton had the nerve, when he declined the invite to appear at Holder’s wake, to claim that his presence would have led “others” to politicize his appearance – like he himself never politicizes anything?) Apparently, if you’re both black and blue (i.e. a Black person wearing a police officer’s uniform), your life doesn’t matter for diddly-squat, either.
