In reply to the discussion: BLM protestor attacked by MAGA and knocks him out cold [View all]crimycarny
(2,090 posts)74. That's not always possible
Especially not in todays world. All the peaceful BLM protesters would have had to stay home and not even attempt to get in what John Lewis calls Good trouble.
The BLM protestor in this video didnt throw the first punch, the MAGA man did. What would you have him do instead? He also stood there calmly after the MAGA man was down. Didnt jump up and down as in celebration. Didnt try to do any additional damage like kick him while he was down. Didnt gloat.
