You care more about Department stores getting windows broken and some petty theft than you do about a group of people being Systemically killed by the State. One can only assume stupidity, brainwashing or sociopathy when you prioritize outrage for the former over the later.

You just told me the looting and the blm protests were different things. Why are you conflating my disapproval of looting with my disagreement with the blm movement? I’m in favor of the Crux of the blm movement which is a push for equality. Looting does nothing to further that cause; I am opposed to looting and rioting.

Looting businesses and hurting people is not protesting. Those are crimes. There is a difference. BLM protests, loots, and has hurt people. Those are facts.
People have been killed during BLM protests, including black people. People have been socially crucified and fired from employment for voicing any semblance of criticism of BLM. These are not good things, Erica.
So you think we should defund the police. How exactly will we be instituting change in how the police are trained if you cut their budget? Why not demilitarize the police, keep funding flat and reallocate the capital toward training them in conflict resolution skills? That way you keep the police while killing off the root cause of police violence which is their inability to peacefully deescalate situations with potentially violent individuals like George Floyd, who was a felon.

— 5 years ago(July 07, 2020 06:06 PM)BLM is not looting or attacking businesses. Looters are doing that. You are conflating two groups that don’t overlap.
You can’t just assume people attacking businesses are BLM protesters especially since there are clearly agent provocateurs(Some police) doing the damage.

So why do blm supporters get so upset when normal people express disapproval of looting and rioting? Why is blm conflating riots with its own so called peaceful movement?
Perhaps because the looting occurs during blm protests. Maybe that is why, and maybe it’s not blm that is to blame. In any case, blm is capitalizing on it and it’s very hard if not impossible to differentiate the two. They’re now one in the same, unless you can prove me wrong (i am hoping you can)

— 5 years ago(July 07, 2020 06:20 PM)They get upset because you think OTHER people who are NOT THEM looting businesses someone discredits the equality and justice they are fighting for.
They get rightfully upset when conservatives Care more about replaceable property than irreplaceable Black lives. A building can be rebuilt. Black people killed by the State cannot be brought back.
If you don’t get that you’re a numbskull (and you are) not worth educating In the first place.

Why should I believe you? I see CNN report on BLM protests in Seattle followed by riots, looting, and a rebel autonomous zone that seemingly emerged out of said protests. This is from CNN, honey, how am I to interpret these events if not directly related.

It’s not my responsibility to disprove an assumption you’re choosing to make. Opportunists looking to steal usually take advantage of chaos to do so. And it serves anti-protesters interests to make the protesters look bad by committing crimes during their protests.
White people have been caught on camera doing it many times.

I’ll have to get some more examples when I’m not working
I think blm has a lot of good people in it. Lots of them are peaceful. Lots of them, however, are not. So to say blm is or is not peaceful is a loaded statement because it’s a somewhat amorphous entity. I will concede there are external elements injecting themselves within BLM, with the intent to spark violence. I will stand by the fact that the two are causually linked; were there no BLM protests there would not have been (blm or not-blm) riots.

Not a word. Did you mean
casually
or
causally
. Either is possible in the context.
Someone hacked my account. It was the latter of those two, then Nimda edited my post and changed it.

How are you assuming this riot was Started by protesters and not police or outside provocateurs? You do not know. You were not there.
Going by what you said a little higher in the page, it’s up to you to provide proof that they’re not.

The riot would not have occurred if not for the initial protest.

This is your opinion. It is not remotely a fact.
So you think there would be riots and looting if BLM was not hosting a bunch of protests? Why?
From what I understand, the riots are done to agitate whites people. To make them uncomfortable, a tactic designed to spur the change BLM is fighting for. That’s from BLM supporters so I do wonder why you, some white girl from New England (white man?) is qualified to say otherwise.
Stop.
