BLM protestors were routinely arrested, beaten and teargassed on live TV for everyone to watch.

Donating directly to a mob causing havoc thousands of miles away from you because you're annoyed that your coworkers did the same is why this country and frankly the western world is so entirely broken. This is a wonderful example of the politics of spite in action. Making the world a better place has gone out the window, it's simply about making the world a worse place for people you don't like

Harassing people wearing masks and minding their own business and stealing from foodbanks because restaurants refuse to serve protestors isn't exactly peaceful.

Where does this end? Is it ok for me to pay homeless people to stand outside your house with a rifle and scream at your house all night?




No they weren’t!

People protesting BLM didnt get scratched as America got together to condemn police brutality.

Antifa, who highjacked the protests and torched cities, got arrested. But most were released by sympathetic DAs.

In fairness the BLM organizers are getting arrested. For fraud.


I don't want to get political here, that's not my intention but this even was 100% peaceful protestors who just happened to be somewhere the President wanted to go were gassed for no reason.

No worries, your cool. But it didnt happen (i mean they did get gassed, but not because of trump)

Note the source (WaPo is anti trump) and year (after the 2020 dust settled)

This based on an investigation done by the Biden admin.

One of the casualties of our 24 hr media cycle is that in the orgy of current news we don't pay attention to the follow up.
