Black Lives Matter Rioter and Nashville Courthouse Arsonist Sentenced to Five Years in Prison

Wesley Somers, a Black Lives Matter rioter who pled guilty in connection to the Nashville Courthouse riot that occurred in May 2020, was sentenced to five years in prison.

Somers’ original sentencing date, December 1, 2021, had been moved to January 18, then to February 22, then to March 8, and finally occurred on Wednesday.

Somers, in addition to five years in prison, will serve three years of supervised probation from Judge Aleta Trauger of the Middle District of Tennessee.

Somers previously pled guilty to the federal charge of Malicious Destruction of Property Using Fire or Explosives due to his actions that took place at the Metro Nashville Courthouse on May 30, 2020 in connection with the Black Lives Matter riots. Somers was the first person arrested in connection to the courthouse fire, the first to plead guilty, and the second to be sentenced.

During the hearing, Trauger pointed out that the riot caused over $600,000 in damage to the Metro Courthouse and that Somers’ conduct “amounted to attempted destruction” of the entire building. Somers had set a fire and used an accelerant on the fire.

Shelby Ligons also had previously pled guilty to the same charge that Somers did. She received only one year in prison. During Somers’ public sentencing hearing, it was revealed by his defense counsel, R. David Baker, that Ligons received her sentence because she cooperated with the authorities. An attorney for the prosecution told The Tennessee Star that the reason that Ligons was able to avoid the federal mandatory minimum sentence of five years was because a motion was made in court that allowed the judge to sidestep the mandatory minimum sentence as proscribed by law. Given the different in outcomes, it is likely that Ligons cooperated, while Somers did not or could not.

Boston BLM Activist Monica Cannon-Grant is pictured outside Court after Denying that She and Her Husband Blew Thousands in Charity Donations on Blow-Out Dinners, Vacations and Nail Salon Trips

A Black Lives Matter activist and her husband both pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges that they defrauded donors who gave to their nonprofit and spent most of the $1 million raised for their own personal gain.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 41, and Clark Grant, 38, used the funds from the charity to pay for restaurant meals, vacations and trip to the nail salon, an 18-page indictment handed down by a federal grand jury earlier this month alleges.

They're also accused of illegally collecting an estimated $100,000 in pandemic unemployment benefits and lying on a mortgage application.

The couple founded nonprofit Violence in Boston in 2017, which received significant attention at the height of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement in 2020.

On Tuesday, they pleaded not guilty to wire fraud, conspiracy, and making false statements on a mortgage application, when they appeared at their virtual arraignment.

Monica Cannon-Grant is pictured outside a Boston federal courthouse in March where she and her husband were charged with 18 counts of fraud totaling $1m

After George Floyd's 2020 killing in Minneapolis, the subsequent surge of donations saw Cannon-Grant's BLM foundation go from small, scrappy movement to maturing institution. Other organizations, like Cannon-Grant's 'Violence in Boston,' also saw growth.

The couple maintained exclusive control over organization finances, and did not disclose to other Violence in Boston directors, bookkeepers, or financial auditors that they had used the funds for their own purposes, prosecutors added.

In March, the couple was arrested at their $450,000 Taunton residence. It remains unclear if funds given to the non-profit organization were used to buy the five-bedroom home, which was purchased in 2021, at the height of their alleged scamming.

Cannon-Grant also faces one count of mail fraud. She claims to have previously filed to the IRS and the state attorney general's charity division that she has not been receiving a salary. However, prosecutors said that in October 2020, Cannon-Grant was paying herself $2,788 per week.

Cannon-Grant, once named a Bostonian of the Year by the prestigious Boston Globe newspaper, was released on personal recognizance.

Grant, pictured at a September 2020 BLM rally, is said to have blown grants intended to help vulnerable young men on trips to restaurants and nail salons. She's also accused of fraudulently obtaining $100,000 in pandemic relief, and lying on a mortgage application

The indictment released earlier this month, details the activist spending '$145 at a Boston nail salon, over $400 in grocery and Walmart purchases in Columbia, MD, hundreds of dollars in meals costs in Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland, including at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Shake Shack, and other restaurants; $1,211 in charges at the Sonesta Suites, Columbia, MD, hundreds of dollars in fuel, parking and car rental costs; and hundreds of dollars in ATM withdrawals...'

Cannon-Grant claimed the charity didn't pay any salary, but indictment alleges that she paid herself $2,788 a week, taking home $25,096 in 2020 and $170,092 last year, the U.S. attorney's office said in a statement.

Cannon-Grant also received $33,426 in pandemic funds, the indictment read. She also received thousands of dollars in consulting fees to promote 'diversity' programs at private companies.

One of those payments included a $75,000 grant from a media company in Boston, called the Phantom Gourmet television program.

'Unemployment caught my ass. Asked me to provide documents by June unless I'll have to pay it all back,' Cannon-Grant told her husband through text message on March 26, 2021, after realizing she'd been busted, according to prosecutors.

Cannon-Grant, 41, and her husband Clarke Grant, 38, were arrested at their home in Taunton, Massachusetts in March. It is unclear if any money from donations provided to Violence in Boston was used to purchase the $450K and five-bedroom property

The couple also lied to a mortgage lender by saying Violence in Boston's assets were their own to help pay for fees and closing costs. Pictured: the interior of the Grants' Taunton home

Cannon-Grant and her husband are said to have misappropriated grants intended for their charity, including a $6,000 check given to them by Suffolk District Attorney's office in June 2019, intended to be spent on a retreat for young men feared to be at risk of falling into crime.

Instead, Cannon-Grant and Grant treated themselves to meals at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. and Shake Shack, as well as a three-night trip to Maryland that included a $1,200 hotel stay, it is claimed.

Sentences like this are what passes for journalism nowadays?

Who are these vulnerable young men going to restaurants and nail salons that need help?

Black Lives Matter Secretly Used $6 Million in Donations to Buy Luxurious 6,500-square foot Mansion with Seven Bedrooms and Parking for 20 Cars in Southern California in 2020 where Leaders have filmed YouTube videos

The leaders of the Black Lives Matters organization allegedly laid out a whopping $6 million that was donated to the activist group to buy a 6,500-square foot Southern California mansion, according to published reports.

News of the 2020 purchase was first reported by New York Magazine on Monday, as the organization allegedly hoped to keep the house's existence a secret - despite three of its former leaders reportedly filming a series of videos dining and drinking Champagne outside the estate last spring.

It's unclear exactly where the opulent property is located because it is hidden hidden behind an LLC purchase. But according to New York Magazine, it boasts more than half-dozen bedrooms and bathrooms, multiple fireplaces, a soundstage, a pool and bungalow and parking for more than 20 cars.

The news comes as the foundation continues to face federal scrutiny for the alleged misuse of donated funds - and comes on the heels of widespread criticism for BLM's co-founder Patrisse Cullors, who resigned last May in the wake of revelations she had spent millions on a slew of lavish homes.

BLM brass, including founders (from left) Patrisse Cullors and Alicia Garza, and LA faction founder Melina Abdullah, allegedly laid out $6 million to buy a 6500-square foot Southern California mansion (seen in background) Emails show the firm wanted to keep it secret, despite filming a video on its patio in May (pictured) - an incident officials in emails called a 'hole' in story given to the paper

Documents and internal communications reportedly reveal the luxury property was handled in ways that 'blur boundaries' between charitable use and those that would benefit some of the organization's leaders - including Cullors, who shared video in June of her enjoying a ritzy brunch outside the estate with fellow officials Alicia Garza and Melina Abdullah, who have both since left the organization.

The seven-bedroom estate was purchased by a man named Dyane Pascall two weeks after BLM received $66.5 million from its fiscal sponsor in October 2020.

Inside the Luxurious $6 Million LA mansion - complete with a pool, outdoor fireplace, 'butler's pantry,' and film studio - 'purchased with Black Lives Matter donations' FOUR MONTHS before charity 'disclosed its finances' for the first time

• DailyMail.com has obtained property photos of the luxurious seven-bedroom, 6,500-square foot $6million Los Angeles mansion reportedly bought with Black Lives Matter donations
• Emails show the firm wanted to keep the purchase secret, despite filming a video on the home's patio in May

Property photos offer an glimpse inside the luxurious interior of a $6 Million mansion reportedly bought with Black Lives Matter donations.

The 6,785sq ft, seven-bed six-bath property in Studio City, near Los Angeles, was purchased in October 2020 for $5,888,800 by a financial manager for BLM leaders.

The mansion comes complete with a sound stage (pictured) and mini filming studio. According to the property listing, the mansion's guests have included Hollywood royalty such as Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart

The Studio City home - which sits on a three-quarter-acre lot - boasts more than half-dozen bedrooms and bathrooms, a 'butler's pantry' in the kitchen (pictured) as well as multiple fireplaces and a 'mud room'

The property's patio and outdoor yard features an inground pool and cabana

The home is also designed with opulent finishes such as a 'soapstone center island,' Carrara marble and Calacatta gold stone featured in bathrooms, three fireplaces - 'one imported from Italy and one with handmade Arto Cement Tile Hearth.'

The home, dubbed 'Campus' by BLM executives, was purchased by Dyane Pascall in October 2020 with cash, according to reports.

Pascall is the financial manager for Janaya and Patrisse Consulting LLC, a private consulting firm for disgraced BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors and her spouse Janaya Khan.

Soon after the purchase, the home was transferred to a company established in the opaque tax haven state of Delaware by law firm Perkins Coie, leaving its current ownership shrouded in mystery.

The purchase came days after BLM's official charity Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) received an injection of $66.5 Million in donations that had flooded in from around the globe by people devastated by the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis policeman.

BLM attempted to quell speculation of suspected misappropriation in early 2021 by releasing a financial report that showed it had taken in $90million throughout 2020, distributed grants to its partner organizations, and had $60million remaining in its accounts.

Earlier this year, DailyMail.com also revealed the group blew $12.7 Million of those funds on 'professional fees', according to the charity revenue and expenses statements that were included in its application for tax-exempt, nonprofit status in August 2020.

News of the real estate acquisition was first reported by New York Magazine on Monday as the organization allegedly hoped to keep the house's existence a secret - despite three of its former leaders reportedly filming a series of videos dining and drinking champagne outside the estate last spring.

When contacted by New York Magazine for comment regarding the property's existence, officials seemingly attempted to make the story go away. The magazine said it learned of the estate through a source from within the firm, who had access to the BLM brass' internal emails.

After receiving the email asking for comment, BLM officials reportedly circulated an internal memo with possible responses to the outlet's query concerning the alleged purchase, ranging from 'Can we kill the story?' to, 'Our angle - needs to be to deflate ownership of the property,' the magazine reported.

Why did BLM Buy LA mansion for $5.8 Million from Developer Friend who Paid $3.1 Million For It Just Six Days Earlier? Transaction 'raises serious questions' - but founder Patrisse Cullors says criticism is 'racist and sexist'

• The six bedroom 1930s mansion in the Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles was bought on October 21, 2020 for $3.1 million by a BLM-linked developer
• Dyane Pascall, a real estate developer who worked for the consulting firm run by BLM founder Patrisse Cullors and her partner, bought it from a televangelist
• Six days later, on October 27, the house was bought in cash by BLM's shell company for $5.8 million - 250 percent above the average price for the area

A Los Angeles mansion frequented by Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart was bought by a real estate developer working for BLM founder Patrisse Cullors and her partner for $3.1 million, and then purchased by BLM's foundation just six days later for $5.8 million in cash, it has emerged.

The rapid price inflation 'raises serious questions,' ethics experts said.

The purchase of the 6,500 square-foot, six-bedroom property in Studio City was first revealed on Monday by New York Magazine, amid growing questions about BLM's finances.

The organization in February 2021 said it had taken in more than $90 million in 2020 and still had $60 million on hand, but it remains unclear how that money is being managed or even where it is.

On Wednesday, Cullors, 38, angrily hit back at the questions over cash purchase of the Studio City mansion, describing the criticism as 'racist and sexist'.

Cullors called the New York Magazine investigation 'a despicable abuse of a platform that's intended to provide truthful information to the public', and said that the author had 'a proven and very public bias against me and other Black leaders'.

The property was purchased on October 21, 2020 by Dyane Pascall, a real estate developer who worked for the firm run by Cullors and her partner, Janaya and Patrisse Consulting.

Pascall is president of Conscious Capital Investment Enterprises, according to LinkedIn, which describes it as 'Real Estate Investment company in South LA that provides affordable housing in low income communities in the face of rapid gentrification.'

On his Instagram page, Pascall says he specializes in 'jokes and real estate'.

Pascall bought the property from televangelists Shawn and Cherie Bolz, according to property records, and Shawn Bolz told The New York Post the sale was for $3.1 million.

Yet six days after it was purchased, on October 27, Pascall transferred the property to BLMGNF for $5.8 million - with BLMGNF paying Pascall in cash, and the purchase registered to a shell company registered several days before.

The purchase came days after BLMGNF received an injection of $66.5 million in donations that had flooded in from around the globe after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis policeman.

The $2.7 million increase in value in less than a week has not been explained.

Black Lives Matter Shows How Liberal Groups Weaponize Social Media Censorship

The talking points have apparently gone out, and it is now OK for the mainstream press to gently criticize the Black Lives Matter movement. Accordingly, New York magazine has issued a critique of BLM’s financial management — particularly, the organization’s purchase in 2020 of a $6 million, 6,500 square foot house in Southern California.

Almost exactly a year ago, the New York Post reported on the purchase of four other multi-million dollar high-end homes by BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors. The story described the homes no differently than it would any other celebrity home purchase. All the information contained in the article was gleaned from public records, including the photos. No addresses were listed.

But within days, users on Facebook were banned from sharing the story — on the platform itself, on Facebook messenger, and on Instagram, which Facebook owns. Despite the fact that all the information discussed was a matter of public record, Facebook flagged the article for violating their community standards, specifically the “privacy and personal information policy.”

A year later, Facebook (now Meta) still classifies the story as “abusive” and prevents it from being shared on its platforms.

Now we know why.

Buried in New York magazine’s reporting is this little nugget: “Other conversations on the BLM Security Hub chat show efforts to monitor social media for negative mentions of [the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation], with members using their influence with the platforms to have such remarks removed.”

In other words, BLM appears to have lobbied Facebook to have the New York Post story blocked from circulation for no other reason than it could be used to criticize them. And, because BLM is politically powerful, politically favored, and revered by America’s elite, Facebook agreed. And not only that, but Facebook, in continuing to ban circulation of the story, is still running cover for a BLM movement, even as it faces legal and tax inquiries.

Like most of Big Tech’s censorship decisions, it is self-evident that Facebook’s reasoning in banning circulation of the Post’s story is absurd. The platform did not, for example, ban the circulation of stories which quoted amply from secret recordings made of Melania Trump — actual privacy violations. Nor do they censor news stories containing leaked details of personal tax filings.

Pascall is president of Conscious Capital Investment Enterprises, according to LinkedIn, which describes it as 'Real Estate Investment company in South LA that provides affordable housing in low income communities in the face of rapid gentrification.'

On his Instagram page, Pascall says he specializes in 'jokes and real estate'.

Pascall bought the property from televangelists Shawn and Cherie Bolz, according to property records, and Shawn Bolz told The New York Post the sale was for $3.1 million.

Yet six days after it was purchased, on October 27, Pascall transferred the property to BLMGNF for $5.8 million - with BLMGNF paying Pascall in cash, and the purchase registered to a shell company registered several days before.

The purchase came days after BLMGNF received an injection of $66.5 million in donations that had flooded in from around the globe after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis policeman.

The $2.7 million increase in value in less than a week has not been explained.

Black Lives Matter is Just Another Racket

It often takes time to recognize a racket. Think of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. For years, they preyed on decent, praying Americans, defrauding them while presenting themselves as people of faith. Or remember Peter Popoff? He was constantly exposed for selling fraudulent products that were meant to “cure” people. They did no such thing. But he preyed on people’s goodness and hopes all the same.

Now we have new religions, and a whole new religious caste. Like the worst hucksters of old, they prey on our new vulnerabilities. In our time, few groups are as guilty of this as the people who run the Black Lives Matter movement.

Like the most fraudulent pastors, the heads of BLM take advantage of good people. They present an undeniably good cause. They prey on people’s hopes and fears. After all, who in America does not believe that black lives matter? Who wouldn’t have sympathy with, or support, a group that claims to want to help people fight injustice? But BLM operates like all rackets do.

BLM co-founder Slams 'triggering' Charity transparency laws after $6M Mansion Exposed

Patrisse Cullors, a BLM founder, said she found it "triggering" — emotionally compromising — when she hears about financial documents being made public.

"It is such a trip now to hear the term '990,'" Cullors said at the Vashon Center for the Arts Friday. "I'm, like, ugh. It's, like, triggering."

Cullors claimed that activists’ lives are put at risk and that they endure trauma by having to disclose their charities’ finances, while also claiming the system "is being literally weaponized against us," the Washington Examiner reported.

"This doesn't seem safe for us, this 990 structure — this nonprofit system structure," she said. "This is, like, deeply unsafe. This is being literally weaponized against us, against the people we work with."

Cullors blasted the media scrutiny of BLM as an "experiment" that will be used as a means to bring down other activist groups similar to her organization.

The thing is though... she wins. She will get to keep the houses and all the trimmings, because if they go after her... well... racism.

Dear Eric, in case you weren't aware Black Lives Matter (the organization) doesn't care about black lives. They only care about extorting millions from corporate America.
