There is someone always trying to undermine the true focus and meaning of the BLM movement. And people like the OP in this thread are doing their best to help shine that negative light because they never supported its cause in the first place.

Instead of saying, "See? Look here. Told you so." They could be saying, "That's unfortunate. I hope they catch those who defaced the park and hold them accountable." Nope, they immediately ascribe it to BLM.

Guess what guys. I can go spray paint KKK on an MLK statue. Does that mean the KKK did it?
I party agree with you and partially with the OP.

BLM has valid points despite some people acting badly or just taking advantage of the chaos to do bad things that should not be taken as nullifying their complaints.

Trying to spin the "sabotuers" or blame white supremacists, boogaloo boys or whatnot is laughable in that we could sit and watch posted videos, selfies etc. of BLM rioters on youtube for DAYS if not Weeks or Months that are clearly not what you describe.

How about you point out the sabotuers from the hundreds in this video?

Or what about Minneapolis?

Really dude, Jussie Smoletts had a better excuse than the story you're selling.

Crafting mythological excuses to try to deflect criticism is not the way to go about defending BLM.

They will say the BLM cause is greater than the environment, just as is said about the protesters in regards to the virus.

The police captain said the vandalism was "definitely disappointing".

I can think of much more accurate and descriptive phrases than that.

Hoodlums like that should have their faces "vandalized".

I've been to Red Rock many times. Such a beautiful, pristine place. How dare these pieces of scum BLM ruin the natural conservation areas...

Kamala loves the BLM and supports them. Anyone voting for Biden and this garbage, is not a true American. How would BLM like it if someone destroyed their home or their yard or their personal property?

Biden voters are traitors! They are betraying our country.

And white urban/suburban virtue-signaling moms who give their kids Black Lives Matter signs and think it's so edgy and cute.
