Black Lives Matter Protested at a Trump Rally

[JustAnotherGen]

Maybe two threads in GD about a reporter getting thrown to the ground by a Secret Service Agent (some kind of altercation) - only focused on that issue.

So can we discuss it back here?

With all of indignant dismissal of the inconvenienced and the resulting 'racey threads' at DU -

Can we give BLM a "hell yeah!!!" In the Af AM Group? Waiting for the "if they hadn't been there" blame shifting to start in 5, 4, 3, . . . elsewhere on the web - but for now -

Go BLM!

1. Hell Yeah

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

5. All I found was about the reporter

Besides - what's the point in having the discussion outside of this Group? We are just going to be accused of being dummies with Stockholm Syndrome because we aren't outraged about the reporter.

No - General Pop here has shown their assets too many times here.

BLM discussions aren't going to be productive outside of this Group.

9. Secret service throwing photographer to the ground, who was trying to document the

treatment of BLM...

I have no doubt many secret service have hated Obama from day one, one of them got to get his hate on for a minute it would seem.

4. Go BLM, very brave people!!!!! nt

[JustAnotherGen]

6. Yes they are!

7. Very brave - much

braver IMO than any of their DU detractors! And that's for sure!

[brer cat]

8. Yes! People of courage

to go into that venomous snake pit. Go BLM!

[ismnotwasm]

10. Yes!

[Number23]

11. I LOVE BLM!!! They are the greatest thing to come out of America since hip hop!

And anyone who knows me knows that this is HIGH praise indeed.

I have no idea what they hoped to achieve at a Trump rally. If it was to show that he doesn't give the first damn about black folks, we already knew that guys!

12. And they aren't wimps

Asking for Police Security!

14. Probably to

shut up certain people on the Left who think that they only protest Democrats, and to push Republicans (though it's probably a effort in vain) to be more attentive to our concerns.

13. Wasn't Bill Maher

just saying last week that BLM is stupid for not protesting Trump's events? He must not pay attention because they've been getting in the grill of candidates from both parties for a while now.

15. I dunno

I'm not the fan of his show I once was. He doesn't challenge the right wingers on his show when they tell blatant lies.

But you - YOU - are correct.

With Trump as the inevitable nominee, they need to refine to peaceful protest. As peaceful as possible. They will face harsh physical abuse by his fans - and it will play out better in the media if a quiet sit in at his rally is given the bull Connor treatment by his fan boys and girls.
