On 23 May 2021, Johnson was shot in the head. The Metropolitan Police were notified of the attack, in Peckham, London, around 3 a.m.[2][19] TTIP said Johnson had earlier received death threats and her car had been vandalised a month before the incident. At the time of the shooting she was facing prosecution for racial abuse of a police officer.[20][21][22] According to a friend, Johnson was not the intended target of the shooting.[19] A police spokesperson said a few hours after the crime that investigation was at an early stage, and that police had no knowledge of prior threats[23] and that no-one had yet been arrested over the incident.[24] On 25 May, police were reported as saying that Johnson "had been shot by a group of four black men" while attending a party; Metropolitan Police Commander Alison Heydari said the men had "entered the garden of the property and discharged a firearm".[25] It was later reported that another person attending the party was shot in the foot.[26]
A vigil was held for Johnson outside King's College Hospital on the evening of 24 May, arranged by a UK offshoot of the US organisation Black Lives Matter.[27]
On 26 May, five males between the ages of 17 and 28 were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of Johnson.[28][29] An 18-year-old man was charged with conspiracy to murder; the four other males were bailed.[30][31][32] On 7 June, the police and Johnson's mother appealed for witnesses, as none of the thirty party guests had come forward.[33] On 12 June, a second man was charged with conspiracy to murder.[34] On 16 June 2021, it was announced that a 25-year-old man had been arrested in Kent on that day on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.[35] On 17 June, two further men were charged with conspiracy to murder.[36] After a plea hearing on 5 November, they were due to stand trial for six weeks, beginning on 7 March 2022.[37]
By 7 June 2021, Johnson was still in hospital and under sedation in a critical condition, with "profound life-changing injuries" according to a police statement.[33][38] The BBC reported on 16 June 2021 that since the shooting two surgical operations had been carried out to release pressure on Johnson's brain but that she remained critically ill.[35]
The prosecution case was dropped on 22 February 2022, and the defendants were formally found "not guilty".[39]
Wait, I thought she looked familiar! Damn, I never heard what happened to her after she was put in the hospital.

Fucking what?
I mean, I am not going to care too much considering what she did and believed. But how in the hell do you get away with that.
For all of what people say about the US being in a bad place, at least we have push back and viable paths back to sanity. The UK and Europe are so far in the sauce they will likely never recover.
Read the last line. She must've been real proud when she found out. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
