Yes, WHAT IF IT WERE HAPPENING TO YOU? If you were in a chokehold and couldn't breathe? If somebody came to your door and just started shooting through it? If somebody shot you from a car because you had been looking at a house? If somebody attacked you because you were wearing a hoodie?
You think you might act differently IF IT WERE HAPPENING TO YOU?
I wouldn’t be burning down local businesses and killing people over it.

Look at the timeline!
Blm and the current antifa began in this country a few years before Trump had even announced he was running for office. Set it in stone - that is a fact!
Obama coddled and praised blm, even had them in the WH. The dems coddled and praised antifa, even called them heroes.
The dems, and some repubs, had a reason for growing those two groups and, since they began long before Trump, then Trump was not the reason , he is just an excuse.
People think that if Biden wins that these groups will suddenly stop - wrong. Since they began before Trump the dems had a reason for these groups and no doubt that reason will still exist even if a dem is elected in.
Power is great for those who have it. For the rest, the huddled masses, they will be controlled.
The moment the protests stop being called for, I'll stop supporting them.
Instead, all that seems to be happening is Trump escalating the issue.
They have not been called for at all.
They are based on a false premise now and have been every time in the past.
Yes there are unjustified killings by the police that affect all races. BLM should be held liable for the deaths and destruction during "protests". Plus BLM is clearly racist.
Exactly! Nov 4 is the magical day they will act like they care.... Right now they have an election to win! As dirty Democrats as they are, they don't care if people are killed.
Since the destruction of Portland has been going on nearly two months, it would be interesting to see how long you have to wait for a UHaul trailer or moving van. Must be a very long waiting list. They are all going one way - out of Portland.
I wonder how many people have broken their leases, too.
They aren't speaking up because, even though they are upset with what they are seeing, deep down inside, they truly believe it's President Trump / Republican's fault.
Oh, I see. So they are both gutless AND deluded.
Well, that changes everything. That makes it perfectly OK to support the officials who let looters and rioters burn down your city for months, and claim it's the fault of Donald Trump who didn't send any police there until two days ago.
I also realize how ironic my words might sound because this whole thing ignited from George Floyd's death and how he was treated during the arrest, and I always feel I have to make it clear that I found that policeman's actions unjustified, as I think the majority of people do.

I lack self-awareness even as I comment on how my self is aware of the irony of my words. Hmm. Not sure how I could have been more self-aware.
