or… One bad apple spoils the barrel.
Okay…I tried.
This is from a website called Dailydot.com
In coverage of Black Lives Matter protests that have swept across the country in the wake of the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd, the acronym “ACAB” has been emblazoned prominently on signs and throughout social media. Users are even adding ACAB stickers to Instagram stories. But with so many terms now coming to light with the recent (and frankly, much overdue) scrutinization of police culture, the uninitiated may be wondering what, exactly, this means.
Add that to “every city every town burn the precincts down…”, isn’t that the chant…
Really still not as concise as “what do we want dead cops when do we want em now!”…
And my personal favorite “pigs in a blanket fry em like bacon!!!” Now that was catchy!
I just did a couple of searches…looking for information on children who have died because of or during the BLM riots. Several interesting articles.
From the Federalist, Headline - "Grieving Families Of Killed Children Call On ‘Black Lives Matter’ To Address Community Violence. This story was written July 6. " As the Fourth of July weekend saw at least five children shot and killed, many of their grieving families have pleaded with the Black Lives Matter movement to address violence within communities, not just deaths at the hands of police. Eleven-year-old Davon McNeal was shot and killed in Washington, D.C. on the Fourth of July. His grandfather is calling for protesters to acknowledge violence that has nothing to do with police…“We’re protesting for months, for weeks, saying black lives matter,” said John Ayala, who identified himself as McNeal’s paternal grandfather. “Black lives matter, it seems like, only when a police officer shoots a black person. What about all the black-on-black crime that’s happening in the community?”
But wait there’s more, I don’t want these posts to get too long but…
Take Two…From Front Page Magazine…Headline " The Black Lives Matter Effect is Killing Black Children". The story was published Tuesday, July 7
Mekhi James, a 3-year-old boy, cried, “It hurts”, after he was shot in Chicago. Then he died.
Sincere Gaston, a 1-year-old boy, was also shot and killed in Chicago. A 3-year-old girl was shot in the chest while playing in the front yard with other children. She was among the four toddlers shot in Chicago in two weeks. Older children are also being shot. An 8-year-old girl was grazed in the head, and a 5-year-old boy in the buttocks…Natalia Wallace, a 7-year-old girl described as “quiet and sweet” was shot and killed on the sidewalk…"
“Where is the outrage? Our babies are being shot. These are our babies," Chicago PD’s Chief of Operations Fred Waller, who is African-American, asked…The question ought to be directed to Black Lives Matter as the BLM Effect fuels shootings and deaths around the country. And the most vulnerable of the BLM Effect’s victims are black children."
This story again is from July, it goes on to say " Eight children under the age of 10 have been shot in Chicago in the past few weeks. The cause of these shootings is an upsurge in crime from the Black Lives Matter riots that have devastated the country.
The Black Lives Matter riots are killing black people, and particularly black children, in two ways.
“Chicago murders are up 83% in June, while arrests fell 55%, street stops 74%, and traffic stops 86%. If you want to see what defunding the police looks like, just stop by Chicago and bring a bulletproof vest.”
My opinion about BLM and it’s stupid rioters?
You folks arguing that “93% are peaceful…” - Who cares. First I don’t believe the statistic, 2nd the violent ones have killed alot of people, have tried to kill even more, and have destroyed massive amounts of property. They will never all be arrested and put on trial but they should be, so it really doesn’t matter what percentage of Peaceful Protesters weren’t peaceful does it. That’s a bogus stupid pointless argument.
Nope, not even close
BLM sponsored a protest here in Dover, NJ on July 3, 2020.
No violence.

“Millions” are part of the group that also riots.
You’re smart enough to know why your attempted sidestep is meaningless.
Trump was wrong when he said there were good people on both sides in Charlottesville? By the same token everyone at the Unite the Right rally owns the violence and racism whether they participated in it or not

Attempted sidestep.
You said rioting is part of BLM activity.
I have proven it is not.
By the mere fact a BLM protest was peaceful.

93%. Wow.
Maybe that number could’ve been even higher if AllLivesMatter decided to participate too.
Why don’t you at least be honest and share the entire Charlottesville quote?

Huh?
“See…over here we didn’t burn anything down so we are peaceful!”
Check this article out, it says ALL crime is estimated to be committed by 15% of the population.
So if 7% of ALL demonstrations turn violent its logical to conclude with at least 85% of people attending being law abiding that the vast majority will go on without serious incident.
P.S. Keep in mind those who seek havoc and destruction probably seek cover of “peaceful” protesters too…
Here’s the gift of the “Peaceful Protests” courtesy of Antifa and BLM…This story was published in July roughly a month after the George Floyd incident. Headline - " RIOTS
Riot Death Toll Now Higher Than Total Deaths of Unarmed Black People For Whole of 2019
The first couple of paragraphs…“The death toll from the current riots is now higher than the number of unarmed African-Americans killed throughout the entirety of 2019. Of the 1004 people killed by American police in 2019, 371 were white, and 236 were black…That’s noteworthy in itself since blacks are far likelier to become involved in violent confrontations with police than whites…Of those people killed, 20 whites were unarmed and 10 blacks were unarmed…There have now been a total of at least 17 deaths as a result of the recent riots. Of those 17 deaths, just three were killed by police…As we previously highlighted, one of those killed was retired police captain David Dorn, who was shot in the head by looters as he tried to protect his community.” Of course none of the dirtbags, err, “Peaceful protesters” cared about David Dorn’s black life because he didn’t fit the narrative. https://summit.news/2020/06/04/riot-death-toll-now-higher-than-total-deaths-of-unarmed-black-people-for-whole-of-2019/
This needs to stop.
Did you not see the post I was responding to? If all BLM.supporters own the violence whether they participated in it or not then the same logic applies to those who marched alongside people who chanted “Jews will not replace us”

When lunatics are running the asylum, the violence and harassment won’t stop.
Welcome to Trump’s America
And there’s this from the Washington Times published August 2…It’s an opinion piece by a fellow named Robert Knight. I agree with his perspective. Headline " Liberal media blurs cost of ongoing Black Lives Matter/Antifa race riots" The story highlights the ongoing destruction from the, according to the OP only 7% of non peaceful protests. Thank God that number isn’t 8 or 10% huh!
“Given the Democrats’ wink and a nod to the rioters while defunding police, it’s not a reach to describe BLM/Antifa as the militant wing of the Democratic Party. Those are not Young Republicans out smashing windows, looting stores, burning buildings, beating up people and overturning police cars…I’ve searched in vain for news about the riots’ overall cost. The media seem profoundly incurious. How many people have been killed? How many police officers have been injured or died? How many businesses have been destroyed? How much will it cost to fix everything that’s been broken?”
“There’s anecdotal evidence. Between May 25 and June 8, at least 17 people were killed in what the media call “unrest.” More than 700 law enforcers were injured by early June…Property damage has run into the billions, and we’re not done yet. Portland continues to simmer, and cities explode nightly, like Richmond this past week.”
“Looters have struck at least 250 CVS pharmacies and 350 Walgreens nationwide, according to an insurance website. Crime is out of control in several major cities, with Chicago enduring double-digit murder numbers on weekends. In Los Angeles, Democrats plan to cut the police budget by more than $100 million despite homicides rising by 250% in early June.”
The “93% of our protests are peaceful” stuff is meaningless, especially as long as that rather dubious statistic is being used to excuse the incredible destruction from the 7%.
