93% of Black Lives Matter Protests Have Been Peaceful, New Report Finds

[The Barbarian]

So you believe that violence is in fact being caused by white nationalists dressed up and pretending to be BLM protestors?

That's what the police have reported. In some cases, such as the murder of police officers, it seems to have been right-wing "accelerationists" who are trying to incite a race war.

This is really no better than QAnon conspiracy nonsense. It's infiltrators and saboteurs secretly conspiring to undermine The Truth or The Will of the People or some other such nonsense. It's fit for Coast-to-Coast AM.

I recognize the dingir (symbol for deity) in your sig, but that is as far as my Sumerian Cuneiform goes. The language was originally glyphic which the cuneiform overtook while keeping the shape. The shape here has me curious as to what it says. An enclosed dingir makes me imagine heaven, the other looks like a raft. What does it actually say.

Couldn't wait so I looked it up. Ama-Gi, exemption from debts and restoration and with the dingir of divinity it can connote forgiveness of sins rather than just freedom. Very Cool!

93% ?
True, a poor track record.

500 protesters = 35 raising havoc.

Suppose you apply that to the Trump administration and the ratio of criminals to non-criminal? Puts it all into perspective, um?

The burned down husk of some downtown cities suggests otherwise.

Which cities are you talking about? What downtown areas have been reduced to burned husks?

If that's what they call peaceful?

actually Marx said that "revolution can be violent or peaceful depending on the presence of democratic political possibilities but weather peaceful or not the socialist revolution must be democratic."

You are reposting someone's paraphrasing what Marx said with no actual real quote source. I can give you real quotes from the horse's mouth, an English translation of an article written November 1848 by Karl Marx for the Neue Rheinische Zeitung. At the end of the article, he states:

"... there is only one means to shorten, simplify and concentrate the murderous death throes of the old society and the bloody birth pangs of the new, only one means—revolutionary terrorism."

Neue Rheinische Zeitung No. 136 November 1848

Go ahead. Keep telling people their eyes are deceiving them, that 93% of the demonstrations have been peaceful. Keep insulting their intelligence. Pretty soon, they will stop listening to you altogether.

1252 black people have been shot and killed by police in the USA since 1 Jan 2015. This doesn't include deaths in custody or other means of killing.

Go ahead. Keep telling people their eyes are deceiving them, that 93% of the demonstrations have been peaceful.

It's just a fact. I've noticed locally, all of them were peaceful. So my experience is 100% peaceful, which isn't as valid as the 93% number that actually shows reality. News always goes to the bad news, skewing your perceptions.

This is why it's mistake to assume that all cops are brutal racists. The great majority of them are not. We tend hear more about the bad ones on the news. The problem is that decent cops tend to look away when their fellow officers are brutal racists.

People know this. If you keep insulting people's intelligence. they will soon stop listening to you altogether.

if so then your original post must be equally nonsensical as all i did was substitute conservatives in


if conservative didn't support the actions of groups like the proud boys they would do something about them.

Conservatives are not holding protests a few feet away from the activities of any proud boys. Additionally conservatives aren't boasting that only 7% of them are violent anarchists destroying lives and property while the other 93% stand by and either watch it happen or applaud it happening. .

 

[grasping the after wind]

in my experience the ones at the shooting range leap to the defense of the shooters

Are you actually going to claim that people that use a shooting range rush to defend the actions of mass murders?

conservatives seem happy enough to blame minorities when proud boys and their ilk are able to destroy lives and property and they seem disappointed that more isn't happening

you are claiming that most of the people associated with BLM stand by watch white nationals wreck havoc and either watch it happen or applaud it happening.

Ain't much peaceful love seen on TV

No, they are infiltrating protests, burning buildings, killing police officers, and inciting riots, often with the help of Russian hackers. Would you like me to show you again?

No one is saying that. However, as you learned, police have repeatedly found that right-wing terrorists are largely responsible for all of those things. In fact, the killings associated with these protests have so far, been exclusively by right wing extremists.

No to mention any names, but there is at least one poster that has long ago passed that point .

This is just plain conspiracy theory in the same vein as QAnon claptrap. In your extensive data collection and analysis, how many and what percentage of the rioters fit your description? Also, newspaper clippings aren't data - but it is what conspiracy theorists do to "prove" the conspiracy really exists.

you are claiming that most of the people associated with BLM stand by watch white nationals wreck havoc and either watch it happen or applaud it happening.

I am seeing video of BLM protesters standing by and sometimes applauding as white and non white nationals( as opposed to white nationalists) are rioting, destroying property and people's lives and livelihood, intimidating people , assaulting people, etc. . I make no other claim to anything but that which I have seen. The fact that those standing around not intervening in the violent acts are supposed to represent 93% of the people that are physically there, tells me they are not seriously concerned with, and may well approve of the devastation being caused by that 7% . If otherwise, the devastation would be halted. I await one leader of BLM to condemn the violence that is being perpetrated in the name of BLM ,rather than to make excuses for it or blame some unnamed outside group's infiltration, and to organize their protests in such a way as to make such violence impossible for that 7% to perpetrate. These are BLM's protests they need to own whatever results they allow to come from them.
