No one needs to attend in order to see how much damaged these low life scumbags have caused. We can see the damage these animals caused after they've left.

No one is assuming they all are. That's just something you made up in order to deflect from the fact that BLM is not only violent, they are based on a lie.

The media lied and said they were mostly non violent. I doubt any other group has caused that much damage or murdered as many people as BLM has.

So you might like to know that in fact only about 6%-7% of the BLM-type demonstrations resulted in violence.

What people forget - especially gullible people who don't understand how the media works - is that low-end news outlets like to present the most sensational stories possible, and unfortunately Trump only escalated the idea that "news" should be sensational or exciting.

1) The idea that news should be sensational started long before Trump was even born! (And I’m not a fan of Trump to say the least). That being said, Trump exploited this to the max.


2) The BLM is targeted only because people think (and speak) using slogans and generalizations. There are thousands of rioters who have nothing to do with BLM but they take advantage of the chaos. These are mostly haters and anarchists (not necessarily black) who attack the establishment, the law, the public order and everyone they hate. In lack of a better definition, conservatives label them all as BLM.

The funny part? There might be some people dumb enough to believe that left-wing BS. The facts-40 plus dead, over $2 billion in property damage.

But...according to the left-those don't count. It was "rich business owners", and those evil conservatives that were attacked by the left-wing terrorists. Violence only matters when a black criminal is shot by a police officer. Or his intended victim.

how many days in Portland were counted as individual protests/riots?

A small group of people that gather to protest, and disobey no laws, is a peaceful protest.

why would I attend a BLM event, if I don't agree with their tenets?

Are people saying "every protestor there rioted!!!"

The OP should write propaganda pieces for CNN - pure fiction.

Are you defending BLM? You know, the organization who says they are against the traditional family and wants to usher in socialism? That’s a house built on sand.
