…as opposed to blm? |
Google who actually caused the violence, fires and looting, not to mention the cop killings duing the summer of 2020...it wasn't BLM. |
DP. It's really pretty astounding that you're *still* gaslighting over this. Unreal, actually. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/10/us/shooting-chicago-looting.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/02/nyregion/nyc-looting-protests.html https://www.reuters.com/legal/legalindustry/ny-disbars-lawyers-who-threw-molotov-cocktail-police-car-during-george-floyd-2022-11-15/ |
+1 Disgusting gaslighting, really. BLM caused the BLM rioting. But there are still one or two gaslighting extremists here on DCUM who are trying to gaslight people into believing BLM didn’t do what they did. |
| Right wing grifters gonna grift. Wonder how much money they had off these MAGAs this time? |
BLM is nothing close to what far right extremists have been doing for the last 15 years. Also, if you want to have a conversation like an adult, deal with the topic at hand, instead of whatabouting like it changes something. |
| I'm so old, I remember when "BLM" was "ACORN" and "woke" was "politically correct." They rebrand from time to time, but it's the same old song and dance. |

We got ourselves a grift convoy...
|
ok, so where's your "real" news source that shows a huge convoy? |
you better prove that. "Mostly peaceful" person. Thank G*d, G**gle isn't biased either, I bet you read the nyt's dontcha? |
above reply quote was sarcastic. |
How many grocery stores and churches did those groups shoot up? |
How many people have they helped? |
DP... How about you do a little googling, yourself. Start with the mysterious "umbrella man" who kicked off a lot of the smashing of businesses and arsons in Minneapolis. Turned out to be a right wing boogaloo boi. Same with some of the worst "BLM" arsons in more than a half-dozen other states including firebombing police stations with molotov cocktails. Boogaloo bois. They weren't the only outside provocateurs, let's not forget about the anarchocommunists in Seattle and elsewhere, and so on - they could care less about BLM, they just wanted to "fight the man." There was also a lot of opportunistic activity by people not even aligned with BLM, like street gangs involved in the lootings - they could care less about BLM. Or on a bigger scale, organized crime groups that systematically looted CVS and other stores with fleets of U-Haul vans. Not BLM. Here in DC, most of the protests were completely peaceful. The only two times I recall it ever getting violent were 1.) when Trump's goons violently cleared Lafayette Square, which was completely over the top, even journalists were getting shot with pepper balls, and 2.) when the Proud Boys came in to DC and violently attacked random people on the streets and vandalized two historic black churches. |
Yep. There are always going to be opportunists. I can’t imagine how naive someone would have to be to not understand that. And it was more than one occasion that the violent offenders were right wingers just trying to damage the image of the protests. |
