Holy, are there people here seriously defending BLM Seattle's actions!?? What's wrong with you?

18. No I am not new to the game

By the way, thanks for being so condescending.

I have been at protests now and then since the late 80's, am well aware of cointelpro and agents provocateur tactics. I have watched so-called anarchists escalate wonderful heartfelt peaceful protests against the war in SF. Maybe they were anarchists, maybe they weren't, people at that time called them "black block", they were AA, dressed in back hoodies and had no relation I could see to anyone else at the protests, who tried to stop theem to no avail. The news coverage was of course about little but those few anarchists.

I don't think such suspicion in this case is unreasonable, though if so we would see some indication of it from BLM. Got any evidence that they are not onboard?

Until I see it, and a lot of it, what I'm not buying is that these few women are operating against BLM wishes. Like I said, there has been no indication of this from the Seattle and Portland Facebook pages (I just know what I read, I don't do Facebook, so let me know if this has changed), quite the opposite.

We were told after the Netroots event that it wasn't about Bernie, they just used that opportunity to get noticed. Clearly that is not true, that is now well established. It's an attack on white liberals, benefitting the corporate wing. It sucks, and until BLM clearly and unambiguously distances themselves from it, they're toast to me.
