    Folks need to see the garbage that's going on out there. THIS NEEDS TO STOP ASAP!

    Why, were you thinking of looking the other way and pretending it doesn't exist?? Mayors need to exact punishment! I mean, like, for reals!

    And, in some cases, BLM needs to issue a CLEAR message as who they are...and who the others are.

    Maybe BLM can clean up their org. after the police departments actively do the same.

    The title of the thread is BLM going too far? If this is an example of it than yes IMHO the rhetoric is beyond the pale of discourse. To ignore it or consider it acceptable begs the question if any dissent or opinion outside the social media mob can be expressed and discussed? Or who is it that is the final arbiter of acceptable thought and opinion. Would you rather the folks with the guns get the position of authority? Violence begets violence. It is a lesson from history that should not be ignored. Escalating the level of violence in response can have predictable outcomes. It is often how authoritarian governance happens.

    All of this is not going to stop because if it does than equity, equality, police reform, and all of the other issues get swept back under the rug, and get ignored again, like they have for so long.

    All this is not going to stop until change happens

    If you condone the level of violence and rhetoric we are currently experiencing I will caution you to be careful what you wish for.

    I didnt say I condone any violence. I am simply stating I understand why some of the violence is happening.

    Most of the violence though is coming from fringe groups, antifa, right wing groups, who are taking advantage of the situation and just want chaos.

    emboldened by the rhetoric and existing violence. it will be met with harsher violence in push back guaranteed. to not speak out against the rhetoric or violence is no different than the silence dr. martin luther king,jr. spoke of in silence equating complicity.

    No doubt it will be met with violence. I have many times on here spoken out against the violence and rhetoric of our current time.

    Yes, and maybe you can equally effectively stop the forest fires by shouting at them.

    STOP BURNING! NOW!!

    I get that they are angry, but coming to a hospital where police officers that got shot in an ambush are in critical condition and wishing them death is pretty fucked up.

    While I don’t agree with the protestor’s chants at all, just what did “Christians” expect when they loudly and proudly support a man of no morals or ethics??? A man whose blatant actions and intent are to keep minorities under a white thumb??? Any “Christian” who is shocked by this is either willfully oblivious, genuinely stupid and/or should look inside themselves first before calling those people out. They should ask why these protestors are acting in such a “shocking” fashion. We keep hearing about bad or unacceptable behavior by “the Left” from “the Right”, yet the man they support without reservation acts like a spoiled, abusive child. He actively encourages violence against the protestors. That assertion cannot be refuted by you, Keighley McLiar or anyone else. Anyone not named Donald Trump would get their lights punched out on 5th Avenue if they treated others as Trump does. Your video is proof positive that after all the shit that has gone down, “Christians“ (who, based on their self righteousness should hold themselves to a higher standard) just don’t get it, or they refuse to get it. In this case they should ask themselves WWJD? Personally I believe he’d turn the other cheek. But that doesn’t fit the narrative.

    I call most of them false Christians. To me, Trump is more like Satan than Christ. In fact, Trump is nothing like Christ.
