no he has no valid point ill tell you why.

what is kaga trying to accomplish here? He only shares links of random acts of violence when it involves a BLM related title.

He has no interest in stopping random acts of violence, or isnt even appalled by random acts of violence.

his only goal is to insinuate that the BLM movement is a movement of violent criminals only, that there is no positive message that happens to be supported occasionally (and not unlike ANYTHING else in the universe) by people that you may or may not agree with or may or may not be violent or may or may not be criminals.

Its like putting, 'man who likes mcdonalds attacks random lady at bus stop' with the intent of attacking mcdonalds, not the person committing the crime.

If you really had a problem with the crime, you would have only posted bout the crime. Not tried to use it as an excuse to say something totally unrelated to the crime itself.

You mean like holding up an abortion clinic shooter as a model of conservatism?

Or labeling all republicans as hateful?

I see your point, but the problem with BLM is that this sort of thing seems to be a regular occurrence. No other group in recent American history has engaged in the mass organized violence as this one.

You could be right. Maybe it is just a few bad apples. BLM leaders need speak up though and set themselves apart not tweet shit like "fuck Paris" after 130 of their countrymen were slain by madmen.

The other problem with shouting "black lives matter" is that black youth might start to think they don't and then you end up with more situations like this where you have confused fearful kids lashing out angrily, further tarnishing the organization/cause.

Everybody already agrees that black lives matter; no less and no more than any other life.

The black lives matter movement, the mainstream media, the Democratic party, college campuses/administration to name a few.

Dude one of the republican presidential candidates for the fucking GOP was spreading false information about planned parenthood and encouraged people to act out against abortion clinics.

The DAY a single actual candidate for the democratic party goes out and tells people to attack the police for shootings, then your argument will have a leg to stand on.

Until then you are just wrong to make this comparison.

It was awhile ago but Senator Giffords from AZ was shot subsequent to Sarah Palin presenting her and others on a map with crosshairs on their cities to indicate enemy status.

Jared Lee Loughner:
A former classmate, Caitie Parker, who attended high school and college with Loughner, described his political views prior to 2007, prior to his personality transformation, as "left wing, quite liberal," "radical."

According to a former friend, Bryce Tierney, Loughner had expressed a longstanding dislike for Gabrielle Giffords. Tierney recalled that Loughner had often said that women should not hold positions of power.

uh-huh...

from your same linked article bruh

The director of research on hate groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center noted that Loughner's political positions were a "hallmark of the far right and the militia movement." [43] the dood was a "nut job tea repub even if he voted "indie" once the guy was just nutz and loved repub fud

sounds like the people IYRD, poke and (sometimes mostly sort of me) are ridiculing their arguments here.

So we have a few people who need reported to the NSA for debriefings.
