Black Lives Matter

Regardless of who boos what, these people need to either be left to run amok or crushed. There is no compromise here. Every year it's just going to keep intensifying.

Personally, I hate that you live there. I worry about you all the time.

Thanks. That's kind of my point. There are thousands of Fo's here that people all around the world worry about.
We don't know what the answer is yet. But you're right. We'll calm down until each anniversary. We already have. But at some point, these twice and thrice hit businesses are gonna throw in the towel.
Have no fear though! Starbucks has pledged to build a store here!

<--- for no reason other than I wanted to be part of the crowd.

 

[Valasca]

This is entirely possible, as I do not care for you at all.

I don't even care that you don't care.

LOL. Oh, thank god! The economic calvary has arrived! I'm feeling less scared for you already. *thud* <3

Sending police into Ferguson isn't the answer. They need to pull them out of Ferguson, because of the hostility. We should all just let that podunk little place implode, and quit fucking with a situation that continues to spiral out of control based on hysteria and fallacy. Cause now they aren't just pissed about Michael Brown. They're pissed about some retard that was shooting at people. The ability to logic is obviously lost on these people.

I think that conclusion is based in hysteria and fallacy, tbh.
Are you saying that nobody in Ferguson, or North county, deserves the protection of the police?

They should all just abandon their homes and businesses and let the losers loot and burn it all?

Really?

Maybe I misunderstand your point, but that's what I'm reading.
"If you live in the Ferguson area, then fuck you"

ETA.
I see you later qualified your point with the National Guard comment. Fair call. I'm leaving my reply anyway because I replied to what I read.
I think @Forensicwx answered it quite well anyway.

FOX News Runs Banner Referring to #BLM as "Murder Movement"
One Host Wonders Why Movement Isn't Labeled a "Hate Crime"​

Fox News ran an onscreen banner during Monday night's episode of "Fox & Friends" referring to the Black Lives Matter movement as a "murder movement," and one Fox host wondered why the movement wasn't labeled a hate group.

"Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade was speaking with Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke about the death of Deputy Darren Goforth of Harris County, Texas, who was fatally shot while pumping gas in a Houston suburb on Friday night. Goforth was white, and the man who police believe killed him, Shannon Miles, is black.

There is no evidence that Miles has any connection to the Black Lives Matter movement, but the "Fox & Friends" segment made a point to strongly imply that Black Lives Matter was at fault for Goforth’s death.

An onscreen banner during the segment read "Murder Movement" above a subhead that said, "Sheriff: #BlackLivesMatter Is Out Of Control." Clarke told Kilmeade on the show that he's "sick and tired" of seeing headlines emphasizing the race of white officers shooting unarmed black people. The headline he’d like to see is "Black Man Shoots White Defenseless Police Officer," Clarke said.

“President Obama has breathed life into an ugly movement … we now have to counter this slime. This filth coming out of these cop-haters,” Clarke said as Fox showed footage of Black Lives Matter protesters.

Clarke, a frequent guest on Fox News, is regularly critical of Black Lives Matter. He's bashed the movement for not protesting black-on-black crime, and told Fox News host Megyn Kelly that he would have been embarrassed of Sandra Bland if she had been his daughter.

He's also not the first person to associate Goforth’s killing with the Black Lives Matter movement. Speaking in a news conference on Saturday, Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman made similar remarks about the movement.

“When the rhetoric ramps up to the point where calculated, cold-blooded assassinations of police officers happen, this rhetoric has gotten out of control,” Hickman said. “We’ve heard 'black lives matter.' All lives matter. Well, cops’ lives matter, too.”

However, he offered no proof to support his theory that the movement and the killing are linked.

Prosecutors have not suggested a motive for the deadly attack on Goforth, who was killed as he filled up his patrol car gas tank on Friday night. Miles, 30, allegedly came up from behind Goforth and shot him in the head. He then continued to fire at Goforth while standing over him in a "cold-blooded assassination," Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said in court on Monday.

When asked by reporters if tensions between the community and law enforcement could have played a role in the killing, Anderson said, "I have no idea whether it does or not."

Miles has a criminal history and was also declared mentally incompetent in 2012, when the Travis County District Attorney's Office charged him with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly got into a fight over a remote control at a homeless shelter.

Black Lives Matter leader DeRay Mckesson condemned those who jumped to conclusions about the shooting in a tweet on Saturday. Mckesson decried those who had decided to “politicize this tragedy.”

Meanwhile, a slew of other Fox News reporters and pundits have also accused Black Lives Matter of being dangerous.

In a different segment of “Fox & Friends,” which can be viewed below, co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked conservative writer Kevin Jackson, "Why has the Black Lives Matter movement not been classified yet as a hate group? How much more has to go in this direction before someone actually labels it as such?”

Jackson responded by saying, "Well, they should do it, but unfortunately, it's being financed by the leftists."

A Fox spokeswoman later referred The Huffington Post to the following tweet, which Hasselbeck reportedly wrote as a response to the controversy surrounding her "hate group" comment:

Also on Monday, comedian Tom Shillue called Black Lives Matter a “criminal organization" during his appearance on Fox talk show "The Five." Later that night, on the "O’Reilly Factor," Bill O’Reilly called the movement a “hate group” and declared he was “going to put them out of business.”

There's plenty of mind fuckery afoot in this mess, because everyone who has an agenda is using it to further theirs.

Black Lives Matter is an "organisation," using the term very loosely, that believes no black person who commits a crime should be investigated, much less, apprehended. This is a group of deranged idiots who drove Bernie Sanders, one of the few persons who even pretends to care about them, off of a stage. These repulsive morons are politically suicidal.

It doesn't help that these psychotic fools are chanting to cook "the pigs in a blanket and fry them like bacon," after a sheriff's deputy was gunned down by a black man in Harris County, TX.

This movement might have had serious merit if Darren Wilson hadn't been proven to be WELL within his rights to take the action he did. It had a chance but the lies and preposterous bullshit that poured out from the community killed that. The movement just doesn't know it quite yet.

They know it...they just don't care.

Perish the idea of enduring the slightly uncomfortable feeling of cognitive dissonance that would result if they permitted rational thought!

These people are completely devoid of rational thought.

Nothing wrong with something like that sparking something of actual worth or value, like a nation wide, serious, constructive discussion and awareness of black victims of crime, even if such a discussion is in fact totally unrelated to the incident sparkin it. However that's never what it actually was. If it ever even was intended as such, it's been totally hijacked by folks only out to demonize police officers(which only serves to cloud up corrupt cop stories, as it infuses the opposition to govt stormtroopers with biased political leanings) and overly sensitivoes who think everything is racist.

Overrall it's merely some dimwitted nonsense idiots on the internet post about to feel good about themselves. It's harmless, pointless, fad nonsense.

The Black Lives Matter movement has recently come under fire for not helping black victims of Louisiana’s devastating flooding. Finally, the group mobilized and made its way to Baton Rouge to protest on black residents’ “behalf.” However, as soon as they arrived, black flood victims had just one response to the hypocritical political movement.

With each criminal offender and career thug the Black Lives Matter campaign pins as their poster child, the voices of innocent black victims of unfair treatment and devastation are ignored by activists who care for nothing more than seeing what reparations they can squeeze from the government teat.

After 13 people died and more than 60,000 homes were damaged by severe flooding this month, the BLM was eerily silent, purposefully ignoring the cries and criticism of blacks who called them out for their selective outrage. Now, they’ve finally decided to head to the soggy state but not to help the victims in any way.

The Washington Times reports that as soon as Black Lives Matter activists announced they are suing Baton Rouge police and officials and have staged a massive protest against “unlawful arrests” in the ravaged city, black flood victims realized they have had enough. In an immediate response to the BLM’s plans, many from the black community in Louisiana slammed the organization for fraudulence and duplicity and made it clear that they’re not welcome in Baton Rouge.

The criticism is endless. However, there are still a few blinded individuals who half-heartedly attempted to defend the indefensible group by asking what helping flood victims “has to do with an organization whose goal is to stop police abuse?” Fortunately,American Conservative’s Rod Dreher was able to easily point out the flawed logic in this rhetoric, including reminding blacks of the BLM’s list of demands that has nothing to do with law enforcement, such as voting rights for illegal migrants, ending private and charter schools, and divestiture from fossil fuels.

While Black Lives Matter protesters are raging against law enforcement officials in Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge police officers are working around the clock to assist the black lives that organization says matter. They’ve saved lives from treacherous flood waters, comforted those who’ve lost loved ones, and continue to charitably dispense aid to those in need. However, the BLM seems to want those officers to stop helping innocent blacks and focus on their supercilious protests that often turn violent and destructive — the last thing dilapidated Baton Rouge needs.

Meanwhile, the Ford Foundation, a company that was founded by Edsel and Henry Ford (2 white guys), is funneling $100 million to the Movement for Black Lives instead of the homeless black Louisianians. So, the only ones these poor victims can rely on are their local law enforcement officials, further proving the irony of these movements that claim to defend black lives.

THIS. Black lives should matter no matter who they are or what has happened to them, but it seems if they can't get good press from it, or $100M, they don't care.
