you know about "Umbrella Man" and the white girls breaking windows and the white guys spray painting graffiti, and the white, teenager shooter killing people.

It makes no sense whatsoever for BLM organizers to want window breaking and fires and looting as part of their protest demonstrations. They can't control what hangers-around do.

I repeat, protest demonstrations, protesting cops killing unarmed black men. Not demonstrations to burn and loot. But you keep on believing that republican talking point that BLM organizers are dialing that up.

Yes, I've seen the videos as well. I know about Umbrella Man and the young woman in Madison. I've also seen the videos of the CCB in Madison torched, toppling of statues, looting in Madison, what happened in Kenosha. It's not all RW agitators.

BLM organizers don't control violent hanger-ons who latch onto demonstrations, be they white, like most of then seen to be, or black or brown.
