How many riots did not follow a protest in the same area.
I actually donāt know the correct answer to the question. But i do know the way it is being reported is stupidly misleading.
Just remember, āgood people on both sidesā⦠your side has been excoriating the right for that statement for years, even though the violence there was perpetrated by a small percentage of people in attendance. Yet now are trying to argue the exact opposite in the case of BLM.

I wouldnāt say May 2020 - August 2020 is very narrow. It includes nearly 7,750 demonstrations linked to the BLM movement across more than 2,440 locations in all 50 states and Washington, DC.
I donāt have the numbers⦠But Iād be curious as to how the percentage would change if you didnāt use protests that had less than 20 attendees.

Soā¦and how many riots, fights break out afterwards?
Again the protest might have been peacefulā¦fights, looting and riots comes afterwards.
The protest was just catalyst for it.

Here is the report: https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/
I kinda see what youāre getting at, but āviolenceā is still āviolenceā whether or not thereās 20 people there or 100.

This is a weird argument.
You donāt know CRT. Itās been clear for a while now.
Oh really? Do tell
That specific? No. Can you know that a woman giving birth is in pain? Yes.
You with these absolutesā¦
. Police harass a lot of people of different races. Are black people impacted MORE, data says yes.
Depends on what I empathizing with. If you said āitās really hot and humid in my town/city.ā Well I can empathize great with you because I understand heat and humidity.
If you said, for example, āThat kick in the nuts I received was painfulā well Iāve never been kicked in the nuts. However I understand how it would be painful to you to be kicked in the nuts.

No it doesnāt. That is patently false.

Tell what? Youāre crawfishing all over the place.
I can hear the screaming, yeah. Do I understand the pain?
the wiggling is unbecoming. Have you very clearly told me on this very forum that I cannot understand the plight of the black nation or not. Be honest now.

So you donāt agree that BLM protest are used as catalyst for violences?
Cons: BLM PROTESTS ARE VIOLENT!!!1!!1!
Also Cons: BLM PROTESTS MAY BE PEACEFUL BUT THE RIOTS AFTER THE PROTESTS ARE NOT!!1!1

Poor phrasing perhaps, but not weird.
The protests create the conditions for the riots.
You personally? Absolutely. You as an individual have shown you have no desire/capability to. You donāt define every old white guy. Sorry
Concerts in Las Vegas are safe because the shooter was outside the venueā¦
Thats the logic of it.
The US creates the conditions for protests and riots.
However the shooter wasnāt there for a country concert. He was there to shoot people.
Same with after protest riots/violence
