Here, we have a Jarhead in civvies letting off firecrackers practically on the Rose Garden lawn, for no good reason, around the exact time the FBI declared
"Case Close, the dead N*gger acted alone - just sprinkle some crack on him and lets get out of here."
And the manhunt was abruptly called off.
There is historical precedent for this:
"Right after Malcolm greeted his audience with "As-salaam alaikum" (earning the return: "Wa-alaikum-salaam") someone in the 8th row shouted
"Get your hand out of my pocket!".
All heads turned.
The recording being made of this meeting reveals that Malcolm tried to calm the situation by repeating the words "Hold it." He repeated them ten times before the assassins acted.
Then chaos ensued.
Lee succeeds admirably in making the screen version of the assassination as accurate as possible.
Some reports say a home made smoke bomb was set off.
Then the three men in the front row stood up and shot Malcolm "like a firing squad".
Alleged assassin Thomas 15X Johnson fired one round of his sawed-off shotgun into Malcolm's chest, fatally lacerating his heart. This first shot was the fatal one. Malcolm fell backwards across the two empty chairs lined up in back of him.
The assassins then emptied there weapons into the prostrate body.
One assassin then fled through the women's lounge, which had two exits to the street.
Talmadge Hayer, who was felled by Gene Roberts (undercover agent of Bureau of Special Services) with a chair, on his recovery took a bullet to the thigh from bodyguard Reuben Francis.
His own gun misfired as he hopped out and down the stairs, sliding along the banister, vaulting himself over the third assassin, who in turn had been shoved down the stairs.
By the time Hayer reached the doors the crowd had caught up with him and proceeded to vent their anger upon him.
Two officers who happened by quickly took him into custody and whisked him off to the police station."
