Occurred to me: BLM axiomatically does not consider crime a thing.
Consequence: protestors are by (their) definition peaceful - even when looting & torching uninvolved private property. Violent felonies simply do not register in their minds as “crime”.
Anecdotal proof:
A guy drives drunk blowing >0.2 to the point of passing out at a drive thru, resisted arrest, shoots at cops, and his gf burns down a restaurant. BLM response is “so what? wouldn’t you or your relatives?”
A guy is stoned (likely terminally), passes counterfeit money, and resist arrest. BLM response is to utterly ignore that, martyring him because a cop contributed to his expiration from lethal overdose.
A guy trespassing with makeshift drugs is confronted, nearly beats other guy to death. BLM response is to martyr him when terminally stopped.
Hundreds of blacks are killed each weekend in major cities. BLM response is absolute silence.
Explains a lot.
Actually, the leftie tactic is not to respond to those types of things. The media isn’t going to cover it, so it loses air very quickly.
