"yeah but it was hijacked"...however you want to try to semantics your way around it you're going to end up in the same spot.
Not trying to be "slick" or play on semantics that's your game. I just voiced an idea of why people think of BLM what they do, no semantics or games involved. I thought it was pretty damn clear really. Dump the radical rabble that are violent, rebrand (because the BLM brand is too tarnished to save) and try again...

Because it's about me? Is what I am explaining not what is happening? How does what I do or don't do personally change anything? Nobody is looking to me.

You said yourself something about "hijacked" now you're implying they are in on it. Which is it? You're flip flopping. And ultimately BLM isn't a public relations firm, they can't control idiots showing up under claiming to be BLM, some of whom are probably paid provocateurs. I mean, I've been to a super cheesy overly liberal anti-trump rally to photograph it. about and hour of the rally was peaceful with these overly liberal snowflakes just crying into a bullhorn, then the anarchists showed up dressed in black with their "burn it down" chants and trying to turn it into a "riot". Seen it first hand. Don't believe everything you see on tv.

When you state you're good with the threatened violence (your words) then either you'd be good with being on the front lines fighting or, you're okay with it since YOU don't have your butt in the line of fire and have nothing personal to risk. Great if others get hurt/die but not you?
Which is it?

No flip/flop as I was quite clear. BLM may have started with the best of intentions BUT it isn't THAT anymore. It has been permanently stained by those actions.

There is very little protesting in WV. We have largely tended to not overlook brutality. Granted, this is a more recent position than it once was.

You dodged the question. Hey, I get that you may be frustrated with a situation BUT it's disingenuous/cowardly to cheer on mass violence ( I believe against "white people" if I heard it correctly) if you are not willing to put your own butt on the line to feel the consequences.

Basically what I'm saying is ANYONE who's in support of or actually pushing the narrative of perpetrating violence to gain some sort of solution should be the first ones on the line not cheering from their livingroom, put your own LIFE up or stop it.
