First off, I feel for the families and the children that have died. These children had no clue what life was, and because or stupidity they are now gone.
Crap like this should never happen, it's not the gun that killed these children, it's the people behind the gun, drive by shooting folks!!!!!.
Good God, did you see their photos? Cute little things, they did not deserve this. Why ISN'T this all over national news? This is disgusting!

Second, Black Lives Matter's objective is to protest police violence against black men. It's not to express outrage on every type of violence on anybody.
You don't like it? You probably are upset that Susan G. Komen for Cure doesn't give a poop about pancreatic cancer . . . . . Each organization is entitled to focus on a subset of any issue to be more effective.
Give me a break.

Then why was there a "Black Lives Matter" sign out at the makeshift memorial for the little 5 year old boy who got shot and killed?

Well, what are you looking for? Is every single person supposed to chime in with, "Yep, that's no good. I'm outraged."? Don't you think it kind of goes without saying that most normal human beings are disgusted, saddened, and horrified when children are murdered?
Frankly, I find this cheap stunt to be very offensive and intellectually dishonest. What you're doing is claiming that nobody has moral standing to comment on any incident of gun violence unless they go on record taking a public stand against every incident of gun violence. And if they don't take a public stand against every reported incident of gun violence, you accuse them of being hypocrites - and, essentially, liars. As I said, that's a cheap trick, and very offensive and insulting.
There's a saying in the newspaper business... "Dog Bites Man" is not a headline. "Man Bites Dog"? Now, that's a headline. And there's a reason for that - people expect dogs to bite people; we don't like it when they do, and are often upset about it, but we are not surprised by it. Because that's what dogs do. There's not a lot of point in talking about it, no matter how much it may upset you. There's not a lot that most people can do to change that.
The sad thing is, people are not surprised when criminals commit crimes, so yes - they are not as likely to comment on it. Dog bites man. But when people who are supposed to know better - people who are supposed to be "good guys," like police officers and CCW holders, for example - commit a crime with a gun, or shoot someone without justification, then you're damned right people are going to be talking about it. These are people who are held to much higher standards, people in whom trust was placed, and they violate that trust by shooting at (and often killing) people who they shouldn't be shooting at. Man bites dog. That's something people are going to want to talk about, and they damned well ought to.
I don't see why this is so hard to understand, or why you have a problem with it. Unless, of course, you're arguing that there's no difference between gangbanging criminals and police officers, and that police officers shouldn't be held to different - and higher - standards than gangbangers. And you're not saying that, are you?
