I remained open-minded on the subject of BLM for quite some time after Michael Brown’s death and their emergence into the public.

Then I went to their web page and read their full mission statement, which is now scrubbed clean from all BLM propaganda. It was only after learning of their true intentions that I formed an opinion of who they are and the goals they seek. I do not support their mission, and came to that conclusion through the result of having an open mind.

In other words your mind is made up.

My mind is made up that BLM is a Marxist organization cloaked as a black equality organization. Yes.

Unlawful painting of public property is an arrestable crime. The "mayor" should have been arrested.
Pretty weak straw man.

As a result of this woman’s criminal acts, there’s now 25 cops assigned as security and she caused the one to possibly have fractured/broken his arm/shoulder.

I can't be mad at this. She is expressing her viewpoints by what she is doing. Just because she doesn't have the backing of the government doesn't really change anything. Yes, the city put up this mural, but given what a lot of people know about BLM as an organization and all the violence associated with the movement, it can be seen as a divisive political message that was sponsored by the city.

It will create an equal and opposite reaction. When you have those in the movement pulling down statues at their whim while thwarting the political process and opinions of the local constituents, it is hard to be get angry at something that is close to the equal and opposite reaction. Notice I said close to, because it is not quite an equal reaction in regards to how the city handled it and other factors regarding it.

There is also no difference between a violent BLM member and a rotting prisoner who in prison for being violent. (think George Floyd) Both are equally violent and worthless to society!
