Doubtful...

Drop them into Syria and let them beat up some isis folks while yelling blm...

Let's see how that works....
They're teenage thugs who used a phrase as an excuse to commit a robbery. Had the term "black lives matter" not been coined, they would have used another approach. They're criminals. Nothing more, nothing less. They need to be in jail. This has little to nothing to do with BLM.

How do you know who they are, unless you were one of the four?

And who do you think BLM is? They are a bunch of punks; young and old.

It's a shame the vet didn't have a gun. I know what my statement would be if four people surrounded me and asked me if "black lives matter," it would be simply, "my black gun matters," as I lift my shirt or coat. We'll see how these cowards react!

Teenagers who gang up on some dude and beat him up senseless, steal his wallet, and then IMMEDIATELY use his credit cards. Criminal thugs. Robbers. I don't need to have been there or be one of them to decide how to label them.

As I said, I agree that BLM is now waaaay out of hand, and has been extremely side-tracked by idiotic "leaders." Initially, there was a somewhat valid movement.

Common sense ALWAYS gets sidetracked when these 2 clowns get involved. These two along with our illustrious president are primarily responsible for sending racial divisiveness back to the late 60's.


MLK has to be turning in his grave seeing what's happened to his movement.

They could have "used the words" of any movement but chose BLM. They realized that the word has gone out by the powers that be that BLM is untouchable. They can do and say anything. They feel they are empowered to do these outrageous acts.

The same way ISIS represents all of Islam in the minds of many?

The very existence of the BLM "movement" is a symptom of insanity writ at the social level. It's delusional to it's core.

I don't disagree with you.

I live for the day when racial agendas are deemed necessary because it seems to me they do more to broaden the rift than close it.

The fact he did not use situational awareness to avoid this confrontation is embarrassing.
