I don't always agree with TYT but they are on point with this one.

Did I just convert you?

You did just see where Roxy reported on a bunch of white cops died at a Black Lives Matter event before making this post, right?

I still don't think that that faction should warrant BLM being called a violent group when non violence is their greater goal and approach. It's too much of a generalization.

I think it just needs qualification. It's abroad movement with a wide spectrum of perspectives. It's not a group that has rules and charters.

Unfortunately, in this types of movement, the loudest voices start defining the label for the public.

What do people think of when I say feminism?

That's the thing about it. There is no organization just a bunch of people speaking at once.

Question: Can other countries aid in the affairs of citizens of another country? If yes how can that be executed?

^Only the United States is allowed to meddle with other countries.

I think "but what about men?" because I'm so edgy. U mad I'm not pc?

Luckily the "leaders" of BLM have condemned the attacks so that their huge movement doesn't get pinned with the actions of a handful of people. I do think that some stronger leadership would help the movement though, or else it does face the threat of going the way of Occupy.

They were apparently shot by a single individual who wasn't part of the demonstration so it doesn't seem reasonable to lay the blame on BLM.

There are four now, one dead after a standoff and three in custody. Roxxy's earlier reporting on this was correct.

That was the earlier reporting. Currently, CNN and BBC are saying gunman not gunmen. There are some other suspects in custody but authorities haven't announced what their connection is.

No. Sinpers on roofs are peacefully protesting.
