Inspired by CNN contributor LZ Granderson’s How many unarmed people have to die? Last Supper is a remix of the famous da Vinci work.

Martyrs deaths occurred as follows: St. Hunt, a Utah boy with a decorative samurai sword who happened to be brown, St. Hall, a former civil rights leader, and St. Rice, a twelve year old with a BB gun, were gunned down by cops. St. Steen, a teen on a bicycle, was tased by an officer in a squad car and run over. St. Weathersby III and St. Broussard, brothers who were so close they slept in the same bed, were gunned down on the streets of Oakland within three weeks of one another. St. Stinney, fourteen, was executed by electric chair with no evidence for the murder of two young girls, so small he had to use his own bible as a booster seat. St. McBride, a nineteen year old girl, was murdered with a shotgun on a porch by a bad Samaritan as she begged for help after a car accident. St. Martin was shot by neighborhood watch while returning home to his father’s place from a convenient store with skittles. St. Till and St. Chaney were, in separate incidents, kidnapped tortured and executed with sheriffs present in Mississippi; St. Till for allegedly whistling at a white woman, and St. Chaney for his civil rights activism. St. Anderson was beaten by white kids who wanted to go fuck with some *******, the coup de grace inflicted with truck tires. He was also gay. In Mississippi. St. Johnson died by blunt force trauma to the head by unknown assailants in a high school gym, his body stuffed into a rolled up gym mat and his death officially listed as suffocation.
