What about the Summer violence from BLM? Dozens of people died, with Twitter being used as a communications hub to attack specific individuals.
- BitwiseFool 6y agoI also distinctly remember more fires, property damage, and calls to ruin peoples lives during the summer.
- iamdbtoo 6y agoTo compare the two is to ignore so much context I can't imagine you're being anything other than disingenuous.
- possibleworlds 6y agoDozens is a bit disingenuous, and you are comparing a protest movement over the course of many months involving up to 20 million people. How does this have any relevance to anything?

- iamdbtoo 6y agoNo, they are not. Not at all and that you think that is exactly my point. One is the voice of a group that has been in power throughout the history of this country and the other is a group that has been oppressed by the former group. One group is using violence to maintain their power, while the other is using anything they can to make their lives better.
