However fate intervened.Protestors in front of state house“When I first got the news it was devastating. I didn’t believe at first until I showed up and saw him on the ground. I was shocked. For two nights I’ve lost sleep as a result. We had actually planned to go out on the streets, using the same bullhorn, as it draws closer to elections. Unfortunately, he started before us and he was taken out for it.”“We need justice. This is not something that we are going to be taking lightly,NFL Throwback Jerseys, because there will be more of us coming out here,Barry Sanders Lions Throwback Jersey, more of us campaigning and we do not intend to see another person go down like that.”Crum-Ewing, 40, was gunned down last Tuesday night at Third Avenue, Diamond Housing Scheme,Terrell Brandon Cavaliers Throwback Jersey, East Bank Demerara (EBD) while reportedly urging residents,Gale Sayers Bears Throwback Jersey, by way of bullhorn, to vote against the ruling party in the upcoming General and Regional Elections on May 11.Crum-Ewing first started protesting and attracting media attention last year after an explosive phone conversation between a senior Kaieteur News reporter and Attorney General (AG),NHL Throwback Jerseys, Anil Nandlall, surfaced.Crum-Ewing had said that his protests were because Nandlall’s actions as the Chief Legal Officer were shameful.The day following his assassination, members of civil society, including representatives from Blue CAPS and Society against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD) demonstrated at the same spot Crum-Ewing occupied for weeks while calling for the resignation of the Attorney General.Thursday, day two of demonstrations outside the AG chambersOn Thursday, there was an even greater swell in numbers as representatives from the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA), social and political activists, Kaieteur News staffers and public spirited citizens came out to condemn Crum Ewing’s death and demand that his killers,Deion Sanders Falcons Throwback Jersey, including the masterminds, be brought to justice.Friday saw even more public spirited citizens, as well as Crum-Ewing’s family members come out, defiant that nothing could stop them in their quest for justice.Courtney Crum-Ewing’s funeral is scheduled for Wednesday, March 18.
