"So what?"

[The Barbarian]

Fact check: Thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters were arrested in 2020

From your link...
Despite the large number of arrests, The Hill reported most of those protesters were booked not for violent crimes, but for low-level offenses such as violating curfews. Obstructing roadways and carrying open containers were other reasons for the arrests, as well as “failure to disperse.”

Which as you see, is very different than the sorts of crimes white supremacists and other right-wing terrorists were being arrested for. Which, when you think about it, makes perfect sense.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump portrays the hundreds of people arrested nationwide in protests against racial injustice as violent urban left-wing radicals.

Which is also what one would expect.

Of the federal cases, 40% were white, 33% were black and 6% were Hispanic (that's only 83% so something doesn't add up)

Often, the race is not recorded. You're getting the "at least" numbers.

Every time an arrest is made the race is recorded for identification purposes

Yeah they were different from the 7 white supremacists and far right terrorists who were arrested.
And doesn't this contradict your claim that no BLM members were arrested?

The part of the document seen by Reuters did not provide any specific evidence of extremist-driven violence, but noted that white supremacists were working online to increase tensions between protesters and law enforcement by calling for acts of violence against both groups. There was no evidence, however, that white supremacists were causing violence at any of the protests, the document said.

As you have seen, right-wing terrorists were doing more than merely inciting violence. They often took part in it.

Which of them BLM members? And what is your evidence for this? Even if they look alike, that's not evidence that they are.

Nope. If it was, the numbers would sum to 100%.

I was in law enforcement I know what happens when an arrest is made. AP got something wrong

Or not all law enforcement agencies do the same things. Or the officer didn't know what race to submit. Or maybe there's a "multiracial" option.. One of those.

Clearly an accelerationist. (A common ideology among the "boogaloo bois".)

I see that you have no problem posting in the thread you complained about being denigrated

 

[The Barbarian]

Irs even debatable that they started the riot.

Smashed windows and invited others to loot and burn? Question is, "did it work?" And it did.

 

[The Barbarian]

I see that you have no problem posting in the thread you complained about being denigrated

But that guy sure fits the profile for an accelerationist.

Not questioning that

But a great deal of it.

The Big Lie was "the liberals and BLM did it."

It was liberals who did the vast majority of it. Quite often white ones. I will.say we have no idea if BLM members or supporters were involved. The police didn't ask. But we know that liberals by snd large were the members and or supporters of BLM.

I honestly don't think that BLM organized the riots or supplied rioters out of the organization. But were any of the rioters members or supporters? I think the odds are some were.

In the one article they talked about all the arrests and charges (400+) Guess what, they weren't all white supremacists. In fact most were leftists or liberals.

So while some, a very small minority of white supremacists were involved, it's not much compared to all the rest.

So do yourself a favor and quit trying to make it seem like white supremacists were such a huge part of it. It's not working.

What are you talking about?

 

[BPPLEE]

What are you talking about?

Your post in the January 6th thread
"Is defendant Trump trying ensure additional charges after he loses? The current "So What?" thread (about Trump's disregard for the safety of VP Pence) has degenerated into a "whatabout" thread on "BLM".

 

[The Barbarian]

That was the Big Lie. But it fell apart on inspection:​

I will.say we have no idea if BLM members or supporters were involved.

But we know that far right terrorists, including many white supremacists, were involved. Police quickly determined their affliations as they did with others, like some Antifa rioters.

But were any of the rioters members or supporters? I think the odds are some were.

I'd be shocked if there were not at all out of thousands arrested. But almost all the people arrested were taken in for non-violent charges, not related to assault, arson, or looting.

So while some, a very small minority of white supremacists were involved, it's not much compared to all the rest.

The numbers so far don't support your beliefs. Can you show us a leftist charged with killing a police officer, firing a rifle into a police station, or smashing windows while trying to get others to riot?

Might have been one somewhere, but I haven't found one yet. What do you have?

So while some, a very small minority of white supremacists were involved, it's not much compared to all the rest.

Seeing as even Trump's people admitted that white supremacists are the major domestic terrorism danger in the U.S., your assumption seems pretty unlikely.

You knew what I meant. You’re an intelligent person.

Then why did you edit it to make it clear?
