Comes down to evidence. And you have been extremely reluctant to provide any. For reasons we all understand. Next time, come prepared.

No, Kamala tweet has been posted. That’s all the evidence I need. You’ve yet to prove that right wing agitators posing as BLM are actually the driving force behind the riots, and for obvious reason. Democrats have supported it up until it started reflecting in the polls that there no logical argument for it. Besides Kampala’s tweet, there tons of evidence for that.

How can I or anyone show that they are members of BLM?

So you assume that they are. I see.

So, if I notice anyone white behaving badly, I can assume he's a Trump supporter, right?

Or does it only work for certain colors?

So nothing. We got it.

I'm just pointing out that I can document many such cases, and you have yet to document one case of an actual BLM member doing so. For reasons we both understand.

The notion that this movement is NOT Marxist in its ways and goals doesn't correlate with what it does. We see the vandalizing of churches and burning of Bibles.

That's kind of traditional white nationalist stuff. You have some evidence that BLM did this? No, I don't suppose you do. But let's see if you actually have something this time. Show us what you have.

But overall, let's just say for the sake of argument that you are right, that most if not all of the violence has been engineered by right wings/boogaloo posing as leftists. The rest of the protesters must still take responsibility for not stopping them from doing what they were doing.

Actually, in a free society, everyone is responsible for his own behavior. And yes, I know that white supremacists hold that all black people are responsible for what any black person does. But even by that racist standard, the argument still fails:

(Mayor)Stoney said Saturday’s riot aimed to undermine the month of peaceful, community-driven protest in Richmond.

“As I began with, I want to send a thanks to the BLM protesters on the ground who decried the white supremacists once they were identified. I’m thankful to you for drawing the line and sticking up not just for the sanctity of your movement, but also the safety of your fellow Richmonders that you marched alongside as well,” Stoney said.

BLM organizers identified and reported those trying to disrupt the peaceful demonstrations.

These are people who assent to the basic sentiment that "a black suspect in police custody deserves the same consideration as a white suspect in police custody."

These people have not necessarily agreed to everything on the "official" BLM website or everything some "spokesperson for BLM" says on the Internet or over a megaphone.
That's because the spokespeople say all kinds of stuff because the group doesn't agree on much of anything, except, "White people bad."

It's always amusing how you guys try to defend yourselves by calling yourselves names and pretending that other people are doing it.

Who are "You guys."?
Did you see the store owner being beaten and the BLM "protestors" try to justify it, in Kenosha?

Let me guess. At least some of them were black, so you assumed they were BLM. Or do you have some evidence that they were? Or are the rules different for people of different colors?

Please let us know.

Ok.

I stand corrected for assuming that a participant in a protest where people are wearing BLM Tshirt, BLM banners and posters, BLM flag, shouting BLM slogans, is a BLM supporter.

That is a new development, borne of the fact that the movement has noticed (a bit late) that support for BLM has been decreasing in the light of the violent protests. It was about time the "peaceful" protesters took control of their protests.

Hopefully now, the excuses for the violent and lawless behavior at protests will stop, whether they are exhibited by white supremacists, or others.

It was supposed to be a BLM protest. If you want to claim no one at BLM protests are BLM, I guess you can. Shrug. No one is buying it, though.

It was supposed to be a BLM protest.

And as you've already learned, extremists have tried to infiltrate those protests to incite disorder and attack property.

The very founders of the organization are proud to admit they are Marxist:

You know how it is; "if they support BLM and they are communists, that means BLM is communist."

So if Nazis shout "Hail Trump" and do a Nazi salute...

"THAT'S DIFFERENT!!!"

Yes, there were no doubt leftist extremists there. But it wasn't the right wing, who were also there, destroying property. The militia were protecting property, while those claiming to be protesting were burning cars and beating people.

That's one way of denying responsibility for what happens at their own events. Incite violence, then claim someone else did it.

Read the first 6 words of my post again. I made no reference to "supporters".

Ah, so Trump is responsible if someone commits violent acts at his events?

Or are the rules different for Trump?

I've never seen a Trump rally turn into a riot. Only events where black people matter have that happen.
But nice try in your attempt to divert attention away from BLM and toward Trump. (Not!)
