Lyfe (Vida Jones) Is a Snitch

We regret that we did not make this post sooner. Straight to the point: Lyfe (Vida Jones) is a snitch. Lyfe, along with John Wade and Ellie Brett took part in BLM protests in the summer of 2020 including the burning of multiple police cars outside of Atlanta. The three of them were later arrested in connection with the burning of these police cruisers (see previous posts for more on their case). Despite knowing and understanding the impact of his choices, in fall of 2021, Lyfe betrayed the movement, his principles, and his comrades, and chose to give statements against his codefendants in exchange for leniency from the state. At the time of writing John and Ellie remain in prison, in large part because of these statements made against them.

Three years later, Lyfe has recently begun trying to reinsert himself in activist spaces, attending noise demos and protests in downtown Atlanta as well as circulating fundraisers for himself online. He should be considered a danger in political spaces and should not be welcomed by comrades seeking to build trust and solidarity in their movements.
