Eric King is an antifascist, antiracist, anarchist activist who is currently serving a 10-year federal prison sentence for throwing Molotov cocktails into an empty government office in Kansas City, Missouri, in solidarity with the 2014 uprisings after Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown. From the beginning of his imprisonment, King and his advocates say he has been targeted and “tortured†by the state, including assaults from prison guards and white supremacist gangs, solitary confinement, communication bans, and unexplained transports to different private and federal prison facilities. Now, even though he does not qualify for maximum security designation, King has been transferred to USP Lee, a maximum security prison in Virginia where his life has been threatened, and advocacy groups, including Amnesty International, are sounding the alarm. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, Mansa Musa speaks with Josh Davidson, a member of Eric King’s support crew, about King’s case, his treatment while serving out his sentence, and what is known about his current condition.
Josh Davidson is an activist focusing on prisoner support and the abolition of the carceral state. He is involved in numerous social justice projects, including the Certain Days collective and the Children’s Art Project, and also works in communications with the Zinn Education Project.

He ain’t going to make it through 2023 … rest in piss
Yeah anarchistic white boys don’t do too good in the pen LOL 😂 I would think the blacks would have his back?! 😂😂😂 think again white panther lmfao 🤪
AAA+++Bedford, Texas======Good Reporting======
Excellent show Mansa. This is my first time to watch the show. I hope that you are a regular even that this show can spin off a new show for you. Shalom & shalom. There needs to be much more light on the unjust prison system et.al.
It’s always someone else’s fault.
Keep his mouth shut and do his time and he will be left alone…but listening to his interviews he thinks he is a superior being to others and his beliefs are the only right ones …half this is BS about not getting mail, attorney visits, books, etc…all straight lies y’all keep sending this fool ur hard earned money , just hustling y’all like most convicts do
Come on white dude whatever your name is, the black who hates whites is using you to make more people hate whites and he’s bossing you around
It should be you bossing him around
Haha does anyone get the joke of the narrator naming himself Mansa Musa?
That’s considered the richest man to ever live and he disrupted the currency value in the Middle East when he went on a pilgrimage
What a joke this narrator is
Michael Browne was not murdered and you know it liars attacking the officer in his patrol car then charging at him. Eric King is where he belongs. That's what arsonists get. Real news my ass.
Well throwing two molotov cocktails is a terrorist act. Little weird when you call him a "political" prisoner. Throwing fire bombs into windows is not my politics, just my take.
Everybody knows the criminals run prison do you think the white supremacist National is Nazis are in bed with the Corrections Officers I'm firmly of the opinion that the police unions are absolutely completely corrupt one up here in Alaska that was the president of the Union got busted and is now back in his position
How is he a political prisoner ?
when he actually committed criminal offences? Eg criminal damage and arson?
And the 😠in the room, he is Antifa, the scum bags who attacked many innocent people and helped caused hundreds of millions of dollars of property damage in the name of solidarity … wow just wow…🤦â€â™‚ï¸

Malcolm X birthday is actually May 19th not March 19th as I thought I heard.
One POS defending another POS. Should have got 20 years!
Solidarity alwaysðŸ´
He should talk to Bill Ayers (Baraka Hussein Bin Bama's friend) and find out how he got away with it.
The US will never be an anarchist nation. He should have left the country to a more inviting place like Russia instead of trying to kill/steal/burn my tax money.
