BLM activist Sasha Johnson is in intensive care after the shooting in southeast London
Authorities took Sasha Johnson to intensive care after she sustained a gunshot to the head. The UK mother of two was a BLM activist.
London’s Metropolitan Police released a statement saying the shooting occurred near a house in Southwark, in the city’s southeast.
Her political party, Taking the Initiative Party, (TTIP) said she had previously received death threats due to her activism. However, London police say the shooting was not targeted.
Who was Sasha Johnson?
Johnson became a public figure during the UK Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
She gained prominence as an organiser and speaker at Black Lives Matter protests around the United Kingdom in 2020.
“Sasha has always been actively fighting for black people and the injustices that surround the black community, as well as being both a member of BLM and a member of Taking the Initiative Party’s executive leadership committee,” the party statement said.
“She was a strong, powerful voice for our people and our community.”

Was this a targeted attack?
The police said the force’s Specialist Crime Command was investigating the incident.
“There is nothing to suggest that the woman who was shot was the subject of a targeted attack or that she had received any credible threats against her prior to this incident,” the statement said.
This claim was disputed by her TTIP, who say Johnson had received “several death threats”.
“This was a shocking incident that has left a young woman with very serious injuries. Our thoughts are with her family who are being provided with support at this terribly difficult time,” Detective Chief Inspector Jimi Tele said.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.
A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.
Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.
On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.
Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.
