Three assclowns break up an event in Seattle [View all]

And a few people here lap it up. To the credit of the membership here, most reject this nonsense.

I question whether these fools had anything to do with BLM. None of them tried to address the crowd, to speak eloquently about the hundreds of men who have lost their lives needlessly at the hands of killer cops. They were only interested in stopping the event by yelling and threatening people.

I suspect this was a paid political operation using Saul Alinsky-type tactics. You saw similar tactics by Republicans in Florida in 2000.

Who benefits? Not black people. Not progressives. Who?

I don't know Depaysement Aug 2015 #4

I have a better question. If BLM was giving a rally on the abuses of African Americans in America, still_one Aug 2015 #7

They were. That was the whole point. pnwmom Aug 2015 #18

Alinsky tactics? shenmue Aug 2015 #2

Good luck calling the only people who might potentially agree with you "white supremacists" stranger81 Aug 2015 #12

Those people were from BLM, BLM seems quite proud of what they did, and BLM plans to do this to djean111 Aug 2015 #3

I would hope that they won't do that. R. Daneel Olivaw Aug 2015 #9

Either BLM disavows this action, or they own it. NaturalHigh Aug 2015 #6

They are owning it. See post #15, below. n/t pnwmom Aug 2015 #16

Thank you for this bit of reason. bvf Aug 2015 #8

No, the Seattle FB page of BLM has explained, not disavowed, the action. pnwmom Aug 2015 #17

"Saul Alinsky-type tactics"? PeaceNikki Aug 2015 #11

I very highly doubt you've ever read a single publication by Saul Alinsky. Gravitycollapse Aug 2015 #13

Did you enjoy Horwitt's biography? Depaysement Aug 2015 #20

BLM is urgently calling for criminal justice reform. That's why they're protesting. pnwmom Aug 2015 #15

I don't think calling anybody assclowns is productive. Are_grits_groceries Aug 2015 #19

As opposed to calling people white supremacists? mythology Aug 2015 #23
