There's a video out there where this business owner had his store attacked by looters and he tried to defend it with a sword, then they beat him to the point of going to ICU.
A black former police chief has been shot to death.
Many more people have died, on both sides.
People are out of work and having to shutter their business over property damage, including black owned or ones in predominantly black areas.
So tell me, how are these things done on innocent people supposedly justified? Do the ends justify the means? If you believe that, you're setting a dangerous precedent in America that the murder and harm of innocent people is justified as long as it is towards something you deem more important than their life.
I'm posting about riots not BLM. If that's a chart showing support for riots, that's concerning. I'm not sure the extent of which the riots were done by BLM supporters and members, I'm just saying the horrible things that happened due to the riots and why I don't support them. Even if this was an anti BLM post, your post wouldn't effect my opinion... I've never been swayed by what the collective thinks. I pride myself on that.
The sword guy, you talking about this dude?
was that in Dallas?

That was a response to Sven's comment about how people just think BLM is a bunch of thugs and looters now.
I don't support the riots per se but I fully understand and support the protesting. Two wrongs don't make a right. However, I also kind of think focusing on the riots is a bit of a red herring.

Not really. The riots are problematic and should be addressed just as much as police brutality should.

That'd imply they are both equally important, which I believe is clearly not the case. The US has systemic and deep-rooted issues with racism and police brutality. It doesn't have a systemic rioting problem.
