Here’s the answer: the Democrats support BLM and everything they stand for but the DNC is like a commercial for the Democrats so they are not going to show their true colors to the world. They will however implement many of BLM’s dangerous demands once they get enough power.

Typical freedom-hating dictator.

This is why the Founding Fathers brilliantly set us up as a constitutional republic. Most ambitious people are closet dictators. They would trample the rights of everybody else to achieve their ends. BLM is no different. Dictators. They don't believe in freedom or rights. At the end of the day, they impose their will with brute force which is why they have partnered with Antifa.

The solution is easy if you have government that supports the police. I don't know the solution when your local government is the problem, and supports BLM and Antifa. The good guys don't get to use the same lawless tactics the bad guys use, because the bad guys are low moral criminals by nature while the good guys are law-abiding and moral by nature. Good guys don't go around kicking helpless, innocent people's heads in for fun.

I do see vigilantism increasing over time if local governments continue to embrace BLM/Antifa violence. Good guys can only live with that threat and see their loved ones preyed upon so long before they are going to snap.

This is what I basically said upthread.

I in no way shape or form support hate groups such as the Klan, but I fear that this blatant atnti-white rhetoric that's been on the rise the last few years is going to inspire more activity from those types.

Normally with black people the police and law enforcement would just blast away. But they know the bad actors are not associated with BLM. These protest are a godsend to white supremacist because many in the movement are also white.

White supremacy groups try to infiltrate recent protests and influence the narrative

The mayor of Richmond thanked the Black Lives Matter protesters he said tried to stop the white supremacists from spearheading the violence.

"What I saw was a coordinated effort of looting encouraged by white supremacists who hide behind signs demanding justice while promoting anarchy," Lassiter said


I'm all on board for police to blast away at the violent protesters .

This is a threat of terrorism.

Commit less crime and experience less statistical death within your racial group. Stop using death resulting from high-as-heck crime to further justify crime like looting.

I hope she's pretty, makes good coin, is good in the kitchen and good in bed.
